Before you ask.
Whether the strategy was communicated, understood, reflected in team priorities and executed with the drop-off between each stage made visible.
A cross-section of the organization, not just leadership. The gap between what leadership believes and what teams report is usually the finding.
Set the cadence to match your planning cycle and keep the questions consistent so successive results are comparable.
Responses are confidential and reported in aggregate. Results are only released once a group hits the minimum response threshold you set (five by default), so no individual can be identified from a breakdown.
Yes. Employee, manager and department data syncs from Workday, BambooHR, SAP SuccessFactors, HiBob or a CSV feed, so hierarchy and access stay current without manual upkeep.
Data stays inside your account and is never used to train models outside it. Xobin is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified, with GDPR-aligned data processing and configurable retention.
