Feature Scope
The platform combines a Survey Platform, Data Hub and Analytics Platform for employee surveys and people analytics. It supports standard surveys, pulse checks, continuous listening, lifecycle touchpoints and 360-degree feedback. Participation is available via web, email, QR code and mobile app.
The Data Hub integrates survey, HR, business, financial and external data. It maps hierarchies, teams, locations and matrix structures, and validates and cleanses data automatically. Secure Excel or CSV uploads and API interfaces support data exchange with HR systems. Participant management covers employee records, segments, invitations and follow-up.
Self-service dashboards provide interactive visualizations, real-time analytics and automated reporting. Role-specific access serves management, line managers, recruiters and people development teams; results can be distributed automatically to managers. Use cases include absence analytics, churn prevention, exit KPIs, driver analysis and text analytics.
The 360-degree feedback workflow automates invitations and rater selection, combines self- and multirater feedback, and supports repeatable cycles. A scientifically tested, customizable questionnaire assesses professional, interpersonal and cultural leadership competencies. Dashboards show strengths, development areas and perception gaps, while follow-up tools help plan, monitor and evaluate development measures.
