“We used to sit there grading our staff. Now there is more structure, it’s less subjective, and we’re consistent across grading and departments.”
“There was no easy way to audit an employee’s performance or look at common themes. Things got missed and lost. The manual process was slow and inconsistent, preventing us from comparing performances across functions in a timely fashion.”
“Culture Amp makes it easy to customize the survey templates. There's good benchmarking data in the survey, and we have the flexibility to filter the benchmarks so we can put our data into context. The analysis tool is also really easy to use, which allows us to get deep insights into engagement drivers, our strengths, and opportunity areas, all while looking at the data through different demographic lenses.”
"Culture Amp opened the door for me to be able to have that data to make decisions and prove that this was important to the company."
“I spent time talking to people across the organization. A number of the questions that we ask as part of the Culture Amp engagement survey, I was sitting down with people talking about.”
"We don't exist without our volunteers and we're not the organization we are without our volunteers. They do absolutely everything. They lay strategy, they execute national campaigns, they oversee what a 40-year expert in HR would oversee in other organizations, and we ask volunteers who come in three days a week to do it. You're given responsibility you would almost never get somewhere else. But when people choose to volunteer and give that much to you, you also have a responsibility to them. You should make it the most positive, safe, and healthy environment you can. That's why culture is so important at Oaktree. That's what it means to be Oaktree."
"Going back to the way we had run a health check before we invested in Culture Amp in 2015 was something we didn't want to do. It would have set us back so far - to manually process all of that data, it would have taken a lot of our capacity for other things away - and we still wouldn’t have gotten as much insight into our people’s experience."
"Collaborative’ is one of our core values, so it felt natural for me to think about a way to collaborate with others."
"The engagement survey is a fantastic tool for generating momentum because the results provide a shared, data-driven snapshot of life at OverDrive. With that, we can more easily shape our future."
"Progress realized that equally important to its product portfolio is its ability to retain and recruit the best and most talented workforce."
“Though the players are asked for their feedback through the AFL Players Association, we're their employer. We're their day-to-day experience. We're building great people not just great players.”
“There's a real commitment to culture in this company which is a passion of our CEO’s - to genuinely care for people.”
“The people who joined us were already intimately connected with the recreation centers and the local community. If we didn’t get the management transition right, we were potentially losing both an employee and a customer.”
“What was great about the inclusion survey is that we were able to pinpoint groups within the company that felt particularly excluded, so we can target the inclusion side of our diversity and inclusion strategy toward those groups.”
“We always want to be better, so I think that relative benchmark is really important for companies to understand.”
