From zero to quarterly surveys in four months
In the midst of organizational change, Kevin, the HR manager, knew exactly what the company needed: a reliable, data-driven way to capture employee sentiment and provide targeted support to managers. With no existing tools or standardized processes in place, they required a solution that could be deployed quickly, integrate seamlessly with existing systems, and offer flexible dashboard options.

Summary
-
After a merger and a change of board: from zero to quarterly surveys in four months.
-
Personio integration and role-based dashboards give 40 managers direct access to their team data.
-
Target for January 2026: 90 percent participation and data-driven leadership as the norm.
Honestly stood out thanks to its direct integration with Personio, the HR system already in use. Employee data and management hierarchies are automatically synchronized, minimizing manual data maintenance and reducing errors. The collaboration began in August 2025, and by September the first pulse survey was already live.
The results of the first survey provided valuable insights: Which areas were performing well, and where was action needed? Kevin presented the data to the executive board and took the next step - giving around 40 managers direct access to their team data.
Customized dashboards with visualized results including heatmaps, overall scores, and participation rates were created, each tailored to executives, department heads, and team leaders. Thanks to the "Analyst" role, they could independently use filters, analyze heatmaps, and create exports. A training video prepared them for using the dashboards.
Flexible Access Rights and Improved HR Data Structure
The Honestly platform made it possible to manage complex access rights with granular control - for example, in cases of dual leadership or different permission levels. The integration also revealed areas where Personio data maintenance needed optimization. A valuable side effect that helped Kevin improve the overall HR data structure.
Quarterly Rhythm Established
Within four months, the company established a clear rhythm: quarterly surveys for continuous measurement of employee sentiment. The next survey is planned for January 2026, with the ambitious goal of achieving a 90 percent participation rate. The foundation has been laid, as managers work independently with the data and HR positions itself as a strategic partner.
Distinctive Use of Honestly
- Seamless integration with Personio for automatic synchronization of employee data and management hierarchies.
- Customized dashboards with heatmaps, overall scores, and participation rates for executives, department heads, and team leaders.
- Granular control of access rights, including for dual leadership or different permission levels.
Conclusion: Data-Driven Leadership at All Levels
The strategic outcome: Following the merger, the company has not only gained transparency into employee sentiment but has also created a data structure that enables data-driven leadership at all levels. Instead of sporadic snapshots, there is now continuous feedback that makes trends visible early and enables targeted action.
Honestly didn't just give us a new tool - it created a foundation for open and constructive conversations. In our situation, it was exactly what we needed.
