Comment Themes
Themes are topics related to the workplace that are assigned to the comment.
For example, phrases like 'maternity leave,' 'childcare,' and 'work from home' all relate to the theme of Work-Life Balance.
Check out our Glossary for the complete list of our 34 themes.
How are Themes Calculated?
Quantum Workplace's theming model is composed of several artificial neural networks that are individually trained with data generated by users. These neural networks work together and by consensus, assign a tag to a comment.
How are Themes Displayed in the Comments Report?
Themes Displayed on a Comment
Comment themes appear as tags below each comment, i.e. Roles and responsibilities in the following image.
Themes Displayed on the Bubble Chart
A bubble chart on the Comments report shows the aggregate analysis of comment themes.
Click More Text Analytics in the Theme Analysis card to access this bubble chart.
In this bubble chart, themes are placed along an x-axis that indicates net sentiment. The size of each bubble indicates how often a theme is brought up in comments, the larger the bubble, the more frequently the theme is brought up.
Clicking the ☰ icon in the top-right corner allows you to view the chart in a full-screen view or download the chart in various formats.

Comment Sentiments
Quantum Workplace classifies every comment on the survey as either negative, positive, or neutral/mixed. We color code sentiment in the following ways:
- Negative (Red): represents things that employees don’t like, think can be improved, or both.
- Positive (Blue): represents things that employees like, think are going well, or both.
- Mixed/Neutral (Gray): represents things that employees have either mixed or neutral feelings about.
- Unclear (White): represents a comment that can't be confidently identified.
How is Sentiment Calculated?
Quantum Workplace's sentiment model is an artificial neural network that learns how people assign sentiments to comments so the model can accurately and automatically assign sentiments.
