“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."
“Culture Amp enables us to benchmark our employee engagement for any future acquisitions. We now have a good understanding of how staff should be feeling through a transition, which enables us to quickly identify areas that need to be improved. Equally, Culture Amp gives us the chance to confirm that our organisational priorities and our vision have been clearly articulated and well understood.”
“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.”
“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surveys told us that by the time you had carried out the survey and consolidated the data, the findings would be months out-of-date and irrelevant."
“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.”
“The engineers and designers at FreeAgent spend their days making user-centric software that’s easy to use. So naturally, they don’t have much patience for poor systems. Past experiences with bad interfaces in HR software meant the FreeAgent team didn’t have a lot of confidence in the providers on the market.”
“Culture Amp’s reporting functionality means that we can make data-driven decisions as much as possible. Additionally, the support of Culture Amp’s people scientists helps us better understand the opportunities being faced and the options open to us to address these.”
“My role today involves ensuring our team has the support and tools they need to thrive. It’s hard to measure that – it’s not a simple yes or no checkbox – so we use Culture Amp to measure whether we’re headed in the right direction and doing our job effectively.”
“Great people professionals have a robust toolbox for driving people strategy and objectives, Culture Amp is a key tool in the toolbox of an effective people leader.”
“We need to help managers prioritize because it can be overwhelming. Many don’t know where to focus their time, so part of HR’s role is to help narrow the focus.”
“The biggest standout of Skills Coach is a combination of getting that daily reminder and having something to act on. It challenges me to try skills out with other people, even beyond my direct reports. Just having it consistent as a reminder challenged me each day and reminded me to keep doing it.”
“I really appreciate getting this helpful information right in front of me in the morning when I’m starting off and then I think about it throughout the day and incorporate it into my daily interactions.”
