Data isn’t helpful if you can’t look at it from perspectives that are meaningful to your organization. The best analytics tools provide a deeper understanding of employee’s points of view and a path for you to show them they’re heard. For example, it’s important for the survey platform to provide analysis of data by location, team, manager division, as well as different demographics and present data in multiple forms, so you can get the information that is most timely and relevant for the particular initiatives you are focusing on.
Look for a survey partner that makes it easy for your team to:
