In our latest episode of the "How We Built This" workshop series, we did something that has never been done before: we took a deep dive into Awardco Engage, our new employee survey and insights product. In today’s dynamic workplace, understanding your employees is the key to retention and growth, and this session focused on how to make that understanding truly actionable.
Awardco Product Manager @SamNorton joined us to provide a practical, hands-on demonstration of the Engage platform. We explored how organizations can quickly gather crucial feedback, track sentiment in the moment, and use real-time data to build a more connected and supportive culture.
Key Takeaways from the Workshop:
- Engage Platform Overview: Sam provided a look at the core features of Engage and demonstrated how it seamlessly integrates with your existing recognition program. This creates a unified employee experience and closes the loop between engagement and rewards.
- Hands-on Survey Creation: We walked through the tactical steps for building ad hoc surveys through "Simple Surveys" and setting up continuous feedback loops through "Pulse Surveys." This move toward real-time data allows leaders to address needs as they arise, rather than reacting to outdated results from the previous year's engagement survey.
- Analyzing Results for Impact: We explored how to navigate the survey results and—most importantly—how to translate real-time data into actionable strategies for improving overall engagement through the strengths and opportunities section.
- Tracking Sentiment: The session highlighted how moving beyond one-off surveys to consistent sentiment tracking helps leaders identify trends and intervene before they become turnover risks.
