It’s super simple to pull valuable information, create data visualization presentations for leadership, and determine what you want your message to be. That helps us dissect the survey insights as a team, categorize focus areas, and implement changes.

The Energage Platform makes it easy to see workplace culture trends

The Energage Platform helps us to see and understand more than numbers. We have the data points to compare engagement and sentiment levels throughout the years. We’re looking for ways to improve the organization, and this is one of the only HR tools where you can see that kind of progress. 

We can track trends and see how scores change. We love it for that reason, and how it’s divided out into different points of interest. You can easily look at your culture drivers, your basics, and then, of course, you can track custom questions. It’s so nice to have a tool our employees are familiar with because they see it often, and that has helped to create trust in the tool.

Survey insights help United Way leaders benchmark data and create action plans

We use Energage Insights a lot. It’s really valuable; there is so much data and different ways to look at it, and we dive into it all. Insights helps our executive team compare departments and industry benchmarks. It’s easy to create PowerPoint presentations for every department so they can see their own data. It’s an excellent tool for determining where you need to focus, and where to start. Insights helps our executive team compare departments and industry benchmarks. It also helps you figure out where to focus, and how to start.

This year, employees ranked the Workplace Survey statement “we operate by strong values” lower than usual. Using Insights helped us to see an opportunity for improvement and create a survey question about our internal values, which we hadn’t discussed before. Now, we’re developing our list of values to use internally and for branding, which could be a big game-changer for our culture.
