From Engagement Surveys to Real-Time Mood Tracking: The Next Wave of HR Tech

Image
For years, businesses have used employee engagement surveys as their main way to find out how happy their employees are at work and how they feel about their jobs. These surveys, which are usually done every three or six months or once a year, were meant to find out how employees feel about their jobs, their bosses, and the workplace as a whole.  This method used to be a good way to measure how healthy an organization was, but it was limited in terms of time and scope. As workplaces have changed and employees’ needs have changed, traditional survey-based models are becoming less useful. Today, HRTech is a key player in changing and challenging this long-held way of doing things. For a long time, the standard way to measure employee engagement has been to do surveys every so often. Companies would send out surveys, gather the answers, and look at the data to find patterns and ways to make things better. But this process often led to insights that came too late.  By the time...

Wellbeing at Work Starts With The Office

Image
The way we work has changed. Hybrid schedules, shared spaces and shifting employee habits have introduced greater flexibility, but they have also added new complexity to the everyday working experience. For many employees, that complexity shows up in small but constant moments of friction. While employees value choice and autonomy, the systems and spaces that support hybrid work have not always kept pace. The office is no longer a fixed destination where every desk is occupied from nine to five. Instead, it is a blend of home, hubs and headquarters, with different people using space in different ways at different times – often with very different expectations of what a “good” working day looks like. This flexibility brings opportunity, but without the right foundations in place, it can also undermine wellbeing. Today, workplace wellbeing is increasingly shaped not by policies or perks, but by how the office actually works day to day. When flexibility becomes friction Without the r...
