Our client wanted to build a better workplace for its employees in order to retain talent, grow revenue and increase productivity.
A Survey app, built on the PowerApps platform by HappyWired, available on phones or tablets or in the browser, provided a comprehensive employee satisfaction survey that can detail aspects of employee satisfaction, job satisfaction, employee engagement, work environment, employee relations, and more. Encouraging employee empowerment, motivate employees, and boosting employee morale, whilst indirectly gauging employee satisfaction.
Now our client had this valuable anonymous survey data, they needed actionable insights to help identity where improvements could be made, and introduce company initiatives. Dashboard’s and reports, distributed and shared to management provided these actionable insights through trend and graphical analysis, cross tabulation and filtering, all powered by the PowerBI platform within their Office 365 tenant.

Why
- Measure Employee satisfaction – The most common reason to survey employees is to determine their satisfaction. These surveys benefit companies as they obtain specific employee perceptions and opinions, which can then be addressed by management for planning purposes.
- Measure employee engagement – Assess how engaged and dedicated employees are to their job and the company as a whole. Satisfaction Surveys are beneficial because once you uncover the engagement level you can take steps to increase it. These surveys focus on a variety of elements including role clarity, accountability, communication, recognition and working relationships. Satisfaction surveys allow a company to identify strengths and areas for improvement in regards to the job role, department or company.
- Examine workplace climate – Assess the strengths and weaknesses of a company from an organisation-wide perspective. Satisfaction Surveys solicit employee feelings, opinions and perceptions regarding the organisation’s climate or environment. Satisfaction surveys are also useful as they can measure employee understanding and commitment to the company’s mission, vision and company change
