surveys

Last year it was Brexit, now, in 2017 it’s the snap General Election. Era-defining political events have been monopolising the national conversation. But how do employees in the UK feel about revealing their political beliefs to colleagues? And is it wise to welcome politics into the workplace?

Today we unveil a fresh new Peakon dashboard design that simplifies how we display our data, puts more focus on the best opportunities to improve engagement, and makes it easier to interact with Peakon on any device.

With over twenty years of HR experience in companies such as Shell and Credit Suisse, Dirk Verburg shares his insights on how to effectively implement engagement surveys into your business and boost your bottom line.

Talking politics at work is a touchy subject. Is it wise to encourage debate among colleagues, or is the political too personal? With the US political landscape at its most polarised in recent years, we set out to measure the impact of current events on the American workplace.

Our latest platform update facilitates both the need to optimise surveys for different areas of your business, and a seamless move towards real-time feedback. You can now run multiple survey schedules, frequencies, and questions across your organisation.

The festive period will impact office productivity sooner than you think. Peakon’s Dan Rogers has words of advice for HR leaders and line managers.

In a world where providing feedback is the norm – whether hotel ratings, restaurant reviews, or even the Peppa Pig app I downloaded for my nephew – we are sharing insights for future consumers of these products.

Recently, several HR leaders who have made open-ended questions and integral part of their engagement surveys, shared their most effective questions with us. We’ve now added these question to Peakon’s question library for you to try in your organisation.

We asked 3,000 UK people “How concerned are you that Brexit will negatively impact your job in the next 6 months?” with responses ranging from “Not at all” to “Extremely” concerned.

Our second article in the Millennial myth-busting series focuses on a common misconception. It tackles the myth that Millennials do not have the resilience to deal with criticism or delayed gratification at work.

The annual employee engagement survey stands to face a vote of no confidence. Unloved by everyone who completes it, and unable to improve stubbornly low rates of engagement, it sticks out like a sore thumb when we use real-time data as the basis of our decisions in finance, marketing, product development and more.

In the three months following our launch we’ve made some significant improvements to deliver faster insights and make gathering high-quality employee feedback easier than ever.
