According to SHRM, 62% of employees are not happy with the recognition they already receive. With Admin Analytics, teams can identify this churn before it happens and save on their bottom line.
Increases Employee Engagement: We all want to work somewhere we feel recognized and appreciated. Beyond that, we feel truly engaged with our work when we continue learning and developing skills. Coupling kudos and skill-based feedback enriches your employee’s day-to-day experience and encourages growth throughout the team.
Increased Leadership Visibility: Apart from encouraging remote teams to interact in a positive way, Feedback Friday and kudos/feedback bring public visibility into what others are working on — both from a management-level and team-level.
