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.
Quarterly, aligned to your planning cycle, so each read is comparable to the last.
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.
