How the Workplace Survey benefits CapEd employees and its company culture

We’re so impressed with the robust data from the Workplace Survey and how Insights enables us to drill
down into different demographics, such as department, tenure, salary band, and seniority. We’re able to look
at the data and pull reports instantaneously. We use Insights to identify opportunities for improvement and
deepen our inclusive culture.

How Insights enables CapEd to maximize the value of employee feedback

The survey intelligence we get from Insights helps us cascade and share information throughout the credit union. It informs the top level of our organization and we can tailor it for mid-level managers. This enables leadership to have access to information about their department, employees, and how to engage and empower their teams. Empowerment is one of our values, and the platform equips them with the insights and tools they need to own their results and build their capabilities.
“The Energage Professional Services team has been very good at answering questions and explaining the platform and the research behind it. They always have answers and will work with you through the process. My favorite feature is the people who assist you with usually utilizing the tool the best way possible.”
