"At GoCardless we view diversity as both a strength and an opportunity. Our ambition is to look beyond pure demographics and truly understand the depth of backgrounds and experiences our people contribute. Culture Amp helps us make sense of the data and where to best focus our efforts going forward.”

“The annual feedback survey gives our managers clarity into how things get done vs. what things get done. Real change takes place and everyone feels a higher level of accountability and greater level of job satisfaction. We look forward to it every year.”

“It’s less awkward for the managers. They only have to pull up the data on their laptop, and they can share the results with the team.”

“Culture Amp’s flexibility meant that we wouldn’t need to compromise on existing processes, such as our unusual approach of running Performance Reviews across the year, at different times for each employee. Not every employee experience provider was prepared to accommodate our established ways of working in order to provide a complete solution.”

“We’re never required to collect information about more nuanced demographic information like sexual orientation or caretaker status."

“It was so helpful to have the people science team put our results in context with benchmarks to see how it compares to other similar organizations."

“If we hadn’t used Culture Amp’s survey, we would have never applied for the workplace experience award because without these survey results, we wouldn’t have known where to focus. Culture Amp has helped us understand exactly what we need to focus on and celebrate the areas we are doing well in.”

“Having transparent and formalised conversations is so important. This was something we needed to implement and improve on so that we could scale-up for the next phase of our growth."

“I personally held over 60 one-on-ones to get our leaders familiar with the platform. Melvin [Arquero], our Culture Amp Customer Success Coach, helped us conduct phenomenal trainings to get leaders at every level of the organization involved.”

“What we have learned is that giving positive feedback isn’t necessarily difficult but giving consistent feedback can be a challenge. Taking a more systematic approach to feedback means that there is more structure behind what’s being said and everyone is thinking more about how and when to give feedback. People are feeling more listened to and the spirit across the company has improved as a result.”

“Culture Amp makes data-driven culture initiatives a possibility for start-ups. It’s disrupting how we make decisions by providing the insight needed to grow our company culture in the right way. A happier workforce means that retention is high, keeping recruitment costs low. More importantly, stable teams ensure that valuable knowledge remains in the organisation, allowing us to build on our experience.”

“Culture Amp had all the technical and UX functions and a local team to back us up, but it was also reassuring to see large global companies using the platform and additions like Japanese language support that would be important for us in terms of scalability."

"Our previous experience of employee engagement surveys told us that by the time you had carried out the survey and consolidated the data, the findings would be months out-of-date and irrelevant."

“Culture Amp has created a real shift in our company culture, and the relationship between the People Team and the operations board is evolving as a result."

“We wanted people to understand that engagement is not just a number and culture is not just engagement. It’s about understanding the underlying themes and symptoms of culture and being able to relay that in a way that managers aren’t just reacting to top line statistics.”
