Convenient Input Options: You can enter your reports directly from your phone or through the web app. If you miss the notifications, you can still contribute by filling out the report later.
-
Visibility and Privacy: Your responses are completely private and only visible to you. You can even add personal notes to your sentiments for your own reference.
Organization Sentiment
Understanding the overall sentiment of your organization is crucial for gauging employee satisfaction and identifying areas for improvement. While specific individual responses remain private to the users, we summarize how the people in your business feel about their workdays by aggregating their end-of-day responses.
The data can be aggregated on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.
