Frequently Asked Questions

Emplify helps business leaders make sense of the many dynamics at play in their workforce. Emplify’s employee engagement measurement platform fuses advanced survey technology and proven methodology with human strategists, to identify the specific actions leaders can take to continually improve employee, manager, and team performance.

Emplify can help resolve common workforce pain points including high employee turnover, low employee engagement, low productivity or performance, low morale, employee burnout, a stale company culture, and lack of employee feedback or voice, as well as challenges that come along with a distributed or multi-generational workforce or major organizational change.

Bain & Co. recently published a statistic that “Engaged staff are 44% more productive than satisfied staff.” A satisfied employee is not necessarily an engaged employee. While meeting an employee’s basic needs (e.g., fair pay, benefits, job security) may be enough to retain them, it does not ensure engagement or productivity.

Emplify’s software measures 14 drivers of true employee engagement, allowing business leaders to get to the root of any underlying issues or roadblocks that may be preventing their teams from reaching their full potential. Truly engaged employees are deeply invested in their work. They’re energized by new challenges and motivated to helps the company achieve its mission and goals.

Engagement is an accurate indicator of “how it’s going” at work. It quantifies the impact of decisions made at the global and local levels. Thus, engagement serves as a useful tool for understanding the effect of leadership on employees. Emplify’s methodology is built on the following agile principles:

• Create a measure/learn/do feedback cycle
• Focus on continuous improvement by aligning with the normal cadence of business strategy and action (quarterly)
• Move control and responsibility down the organization so that each level is capable of operationalizing engagement with their own team, department or group

• Better understanding of what’s affecting their team’s performance
• Shared language with senior management to discuss how decisions impact their teams
• Identify opportunities to address things that might be misinterpreted or adversely affect the team
• Shine a light on the actions they are taking to contribute to the company as a manager

Emplify is an orange in the middle of an apple orchard. The human coaching component of our solution is one-of-a-kind. All employee engagement software companies provide employee feedback, but Emplify is the only one that doesn’t just hand you a bunch of data to make sense of on your own.

Our engagement strategists walk you through your data, analyze the results, and coach you on what specific actions to take in order to truly move the needle in your organization. We believe humans solve human problems.

We pair every customer with an Employee Engagement Strategist, a trusted advisor to help you understand your results and identify the specific actions to take to improve engagement and employee and manager performance.

Have you ever felt overwhelmed looking at a large amount of data? Of course… we all have. That’s why we give you a partner to help turn the data into action.

Our engagement strategists have accumulated over 1,500 results briefings with company executives, helping them interpret their survey data and pinpoint what actions to take to improve engagement throughout your organization.

Consultants are fabulous as knowing how to solve problems, but often they don’t have the hard data to know where to focus, or even whether their initiatives are working well or not.

Our Employee Engagement Strategists know our data and product better than anyone, and that combined with hundreds of conversations a year with customers like you, makes a powerful impact on your organization. We work well with consultants who want to know where to focus and to measure their impact.

We take the data from employees and construct scores, graphs, charts, and heat maps that can be filtered by segments such as department and location, to hone in on specifically where drivers of engagement are strong or weak. These various data presentations are always available to you and your leaders on our Emplify web portal.

The survey results can be segmented into the following categories: Department, Gender, Generation, Ethnicity, Tenure, Location, Compensation, Role, Shift, and Team/Manager, as well as one Customizable segment.

• Emplify benchmarks each organization’s engagement score by comparing it to other companies in the same industry.
• We normalize each organization’s driver results against an index of similar companies.
• Our engagement strategists provide benchmark information by anecdotally sharing how others have successfully tackled similar situations that your company is experiencing.
