I imagine it working like this:

1. A set of questions is created on which the employer would love to get answers to from employees.

2. If a company has 100 employees, 100 unique tickets are printed out on a piece of paper (it could contain a qr code which leads to the survey)

3. All paper tickets are placed in a bowl at the reception and employees are able to take a ticket each

4. Employee goes home, uses their phone to scan the QR code and fills out the survey, ensuring total anonymity. Each ticket has a unique ID, ensuring only one response per ticket. The empployer can not possibly know which ticket was taken from the bowl by which employee.

5. The results are in, and employers get 100% anonymous but 100% honest responses.

What would prevent one person taking a handful of tickets home and answering the survey a dozen separate times, skewing the results dramatically?
That's why the bowl needs to be at the reception, where someone can observe how many tickets a person takes and makes sure they only take one.
