The Sentiment feature helps organizations understand how employees feel about their workdays in real-time, providing valuable insights into the overall workplace atmosphere.

By sharing your sentiments, you contribute to building a clearer picture of your work experience and the organization’s overall well-being.
How It Works

Convenient Input Options: Enter your reports through the mobile app or web app. If you miss the notifications, you can still contribute by filling out the report later.
