Company culture is embodied in the way team members relate to one another across the organization. Cohesive teams are comfortable taking risks, relying on one another and delivering results.

Kick off a process to understand diversity within your organization

Gather and analyze data to remove bias and increase opportunities within your company

Share information on diversity and inclusion with your employees

Inclusion doesn’t just happen; we have to design for it. The main drive behind your diversity and inclusion efforts should be a commitment to investing in people and giving everybody a chance, no matter who they are.

This detailed D&I survey will allow you to initiate a continuous process for measuring diversity and inclusion in your organization. Employees are asked to rate from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree) their perception of diversity in these key areas:

This survey can be sent anonymously by using the webform function in the app settings. You can customize the question set further using some of our other recommended D&I questions.

A long-form employee survey to assess diversity and inclusion across the organization.

Diversity and Inclusion Survey

Track results over time to measure the improvements of your D&I efforts

Ensure all employees are seen and heard and make D&I a collective goal

Organizations around the world are showing a greater commitment to D&I than every before. This survey will help you to quickly measure diversity and inclusion in your organization over time.

The survey should be sent out at least once a month and asks 5 Likert scale (agree/disagree) questions:

I can voice a contrary opinion without fear of negative consequences

Perspectives like mine are included in decision making

Administrative tasks that don’t have a specific owner are fairly divided

My company believes that all employees can utilize their talents and improve their abilities

The survey can either be anonymous by using the webforms functionality in the app settings, or respondents can leave their names by creating items within the app.

A short survey to gauge how diversity and inclusion is perceived across the organization.

Diversity and Inclusion Pulse Survey

Identify your unique areas of improvement and strength

Gather data that will enable you to incorporate D&I in your organizational strategy

Understand barriers to employee progression

There is no such thing as a diverse individual. Diversity is a relational and contextual concept; a set of characteristics drawn from a specific group of people, in a specific setting, measured on a collective whole.

Your organization has its own unique criteria for diversity and inclusion, and your own areas that you need to improve. The best way to start to tackle this is to measure the perception of D&I among the people who live your company culture every day: the employees.

This Diversity & Inclusion benchmarking company survey is created to help you baseline your D&I efforts to create a platform on which you can improve. The survey asks 10 questions about leadership, hiring, training and motivations for diversity that shouldn't take longer than 3 minutes to complete.

Benchmark the levels of diversity and inclusion across the organization in order to start tracking improvements and employee feedback.

Benchmarking Survey - D&I

A diverse, inclusive organization drives innovation through differing perspectives

Once you've installed this workspace the above functionality will be available. You are encouraged to make further customizations to each app including setting manager relationships, fixed participants and updating statuses.

Culture

Diversity creates a pathway to improving interpersonal skills and relationships

A diverse and inclusive workforce fosters creativity and innovation

Regularly surveying employees gives you trackable metrics with which to measure improvements in your hiring, onboarding and training efforts

Having a diverse and inclusive work environment encourages people more in tune with their teammates' cultural backgrounds, creating a more tolerant and inclusive workforce where collboaration can thrive.

This D&I survey asks employees to rate their experience of workplace diversity, acceptance and understanding on a scale of 0 to 10. It's slightly longer than a pulse survey but not as detailed as the long-form survey, so it's a great app to send out every three to six months.

You should ensure that all responses are anonymous and confidential by using the webforms function in the app settings. You can customize the question set further using some of our other recommended D&I questions.

A read-only asset record for the new asset holder to keep track of equipment they've been loaned

Typically a new asset request will go to an individual in IT or Procurement. You can edit the app template to set these individuals as default participants once you've installed the app. This means you'll set up the process once and the app can run as a self-service request portal for all employees.

Owners can use the data view to get an up to date picture of all assets out on loan, request returns and manage any damages or loss as needed.

Maintain an inventory of company assets like mobile phones, laptops and equipment.

You can further customize the template to add your own data fields. These can be made visible to everyone and published on the Dashboard timeline to create a personalized employee journey. HR can also include private fields for sensitive information, and fields for account owners only like salary and payroll details.

Our templates can be configured in line with your HRIS system.

Basic Employee Profile

Boost employee engagement through opportunities for growth and development

Retain talent by giving them the resources and training they need to progress within the organization

Create cross-functional relationships by assigning career mentors who are not the employee's line manager

Growth opportunities are a crucial part of employee engagement. Encourage employees to plan their career progression with the help of mentoring conversations.

The Career Development One-to-One app includes:

Talking points: open-ended questions for the employee to assess their current working life, identify skills they want to learn, ask for coaching and set a timeline for their progression

Comments from the mentor/supervisor on each talking point to provide their expertise and recommendations

An area for both parties to define meeting outcomes and agreed action plans

This template has been created to help employees document their current career path and think about where they want to go next. It's designed as a conversation to take place between the employee and a mentor or supervisor they look up to, who can provide strategic direction on their career plan. Ideally a face to face meeting should take place to discuss what's been written, and then both parties can document the outcomes and actions they agreed on.

Discuss a career progression plan with your mentor/supervisor.

Career Development One-to-Ones

Regularly check in on employee development, engagement and well-being

Promote relationship building between employees and colleagues

Identify problems early on so you can create action plans to improve

Regular check-ins are vital for employee development and for building productive working relationships between supervisors and their direct reports. They're a chance to reflect and take stock of your work, development, wellbeing and satisfaction.

This simple check-ins app allows anyone to set up a meeting with their manager, supervisor, mentor or a colleague. We leave it up to the initiator to create their talking points so that they can have a catch-up with their own agenda.

Setting up the meeting type, date and talking points

An option for the counterpart to accept or decline the meeting

The initiator documents the meeting outcomes and agreed action items

You should further customize this app to allow employees to link other information into the check-in (goals, peer feedback etc.). We have additional apps for Monthly One-to-Ones and Career Development One-to-Ones if you're looking for a more structured set of talking points.

Set a structured agenda and talking points for a meeting with your manager or colleague.

Check-Ins

Create alignment across all departments, teams and individuals

Keep the company's strategic vision top of mind for everyone

Hold leaders accountable to the targets they set

Publishing inspiring, challenging company objectives gives everyone a goalpost to work towards and brings meaning to the work they do for the company.

Company objectives are the overall strategic objectives for the full organization. By making company objectives publicly available to all employees you can help keep them top of mind and give everyone a framework from which to build their own objectives.

The Company Objectives app includes the following:

Objective name and details - keep it short, specific and inspiring

Strategic themes to group your objectives together, such as Growth, People & Culture and Operational Excellence

Key metrics by which the success of the objective will be measured

A section for ongoing updates and progress reports

Company objectives should be owned and updated by the senior leaders in the organization. Employees can align their own goals to these objectives, and can provide their thoughts and updates to the company objective by using the Comments section of the app. This gives everyone a sense of ownership of the company's growth and transparency in what you're all working towards.

Set, track and publish your organizational objectives to drive awareness and ensure everybody is aligned.

Company Objectives

Help team leaders to understand their team's strengths and weaknesses

Limit potential damage from thoughtless feedback by going through a gatekeeper

Help your peers improve and grow through constructive feedback

Reflect on your own strengths and weaknesses

Feedback can be a tricky subject for employees who may not be comfortable giving open criticism to their peers. Give everyone the option to send feedback to a manager, supervisor or HR and ensure their comments are kept confidential.

Peer feedback provides plenty of opportunities to learn from one another, but that feedback isn't always delivered with tact and understanding. If your organization is new to giving feedback or you'd prefer that managers summarize comments and deliver only the summaries to their reports, then confidential feedback is for you.

Three simple start, stop and continue questions to help providers frame their feedback in a specific and constructive way

An assessment grid to easily rate skills, teamwork and professionalism

Once you're more confident that feedback is given in a constructive way, you can install the full 360 Feedback app to sit alongside your confidential feedback process.

Send confidential, constructive feedback and observations to a colleague's manager or HR.

Employees can then track their goal progress over time and make regular updates to the overall development plan until they reach their targets.

Track your professional development by creating career targets and defining the skills, knowledge and personal traits needed to achieve your goals.

Use your survey data to build warning signals for disengaged employees and predict potential turnover.

Employee engagement indicates how satisfied employees are with their working life, their team relationships, and the company. It's a critical part of HR management to ensure every employee is given the proper tools and working environment they need to do their best work.

Engagement is measured in a number of ways, the primary being the Employee Engagement Survey. You should send out this survey annually at least, or every three to six months if you're finding you have a high employee turnover.

Using the results of your survey you can engage key stakeholders (not just HR!) and build action plans to implement changes to improve your organizational health.

Likert scale questions to assess how well the organization promotes communciation, manager relationships, employee growth opportunities and work-life balance.

The standard is for engagement surveys to be run anonymously, and to include responses from your entire workforce. You can use the webforms functionality in the app settings to run an anonymous survey. The template is also easy to customize to add more questions like employee demographics.

Track employee engagement against key factors such as employee-manager relationship, communication, growth opportunities and work-life balance.

Employee Engagement Survey

Build a company that gets the most out of its talent

Improve staff retention rates, company loyalty and advocacy

Attract star talent to join a progressive, dynamic company

An outstanding employee experience happens when your people are provided with a high-quality physical, cultural and technological environment that allows them to do their best work.

While employee engagement is an outcome, employee experience is the underlying process that should positively impact the engagement of your employees. To better understand employee experiences at your company, you need insight from your people. What do they think? How do they like to work? What could be improved?

The Employee Experience survey asks respondents to rate how much they agree with statements around these core working areas:

You can run the survey anonymously using the app webforms or named by creating items within the app.
