employee engagement survey honestly

You can't fix what you don't fully understand

Many companies still rely on surface-level feedback that fails to show what's really going on at work.

Without knowing what actually drives (or drains) your employees, engagement initiatives often miss the mark. The result? Low impact, wasted time, and rising turnover.

Ask the right questions. Stop guessing and start acting with confidence.

Tailored to HR reality - Designed together with Freie Universität of Berlin, our engagement and pulse surveys reflect what HR leaders deal with every day — from onboarding to exit interview.

Understand what really drives engagement with JD-R model

Measure three core elements across your organization and reveal the cause-and-effect relationship behind your culture.

  • Job resources - discover what boosts motivation and performance. Is it recognition, autonomy, meaningful relationships, or something else?

  • Job demands - look into factors that cause stress and burnout such as high workload, time pressure, or emotional strain

  • Outcomes - understand how it's all linked to employee engagement, satisfaction, commitment, or intention to stay (or leave)

Conducting an automated employee survey

"For the first time, we conducted the employee survey with an external provider. The survey was created and analyzed using a tool that makes it almost self-explanatory. It saves a lot of time compared to a manually conducted survey."
