energage

Our employee responses doubled when we started using Energage's engagement survey.

Kommentare: Easy to use survey tool with good reporting features.

Vorteile:

The Workplace Employee Survey by Energage (formerly Workplace Dynamics) is straightforward to setup by location and department. It is very easy to distribute to the staff via a link in an email. Our staff feels comfortable answering the questions truthfully due to the privacy of individual responders. The reporting feature allows the user to drill down on responses. Results are available by department, tenure and manager. We like the ability to compare the current year versus the previous year's results as well as the benchmarking feature. We can compare our staff responses to other health centers and not just to all companies in the survey.

Nachteile:

The information we receive is valuable for our strategic planning. However, the survey report packages are a bit costly. Since we have used this survey tool for 3 years, we would like to see a comparison to all previous years. We lose important data if fewer than 6 people respond in a department. Quite a few of our sites only have a few employees so their responses are aggregated with other sites. The information becomes skewed or less valuable as we merge departments together. If we do not merge them together we lose the data (comments). Our staff may feel as though their opinions are overlooked or undervalued if not reported. When we do merge them together, we cannot be as responsive to concerns as we would like to be.

We have used Workplace Dynamics several years!

Kommentare: We as an organization gain very important feedback from our associates that help us leaders form strategies and direction. The software allows us to be removed from the process and that builds trust among the users.

Vorteile:

As the administrator, it is the ease of use that is most important to me. This program has been very user friendly.

Nachteile:

The thing I like least is that people get tied or associated to a team that really has no relevance because the department they are working in is too small and their privacy is protected.

Does a decent job at consolidating data and grouping into logical categories.

Kommentare: Helps us understand the employee voice and allows us to make important cultural decisions.

Vorteile:

Ability to look at different data sets. UI works for me although improvement would be helpful - see below.

Nachteile:

Trying to understand the survey data is much easier with the report templates you've created. The area of the data where you can select/cut data anyway you like needs some help. I am not sure how this could look better, but increased intelligence in the SW/UI/UX would really help. Something like Watson virtual agent or more predictive capabilities could really help. In short, any help in drawing conclusions with the data or the ability to derive takeways from the data would really help. It's easy to get lost in the data. If this is not realistic right now, I would explore adding additional report templates that look at different things...different focus areas.

Great tool.

Kommentare: I'm able to gather information from our employees and make changes based on their feedback. It also helps with Talent branding and recruitment strategies.

Vorteile:

This software was very easy to use and the interface was easy to maneuver. We needed a basic assessment tool with reporting and it was easy to share department specific reports with each department leader.

We used Energage to do our annual employment survey. It is easy and informative.

Vorteile:

It is very easy to look at the data and slice and dice it how you need it. You can export reports into powerpoint which makes things easy to present and the support is great if needed.

Nachteile:

There are more features available that we didn't pay for and some of those features I think should be included in the base price or as an a la cart item so you don't have to jump all the way to the next tier.
