Employee Engagement Tools to Track Staff Satisfaction
Employing a new team member is a big investment, so you want to make sure it’s a positive one. With a focus on retaining quality staff, Trakstar offers easy onboarding and ongoing learning through surveys and questionnaires. Their predictive analytics and 360° performance reviews ensure you’re able to monitor their engagement from day one and award their successes!
Keeping tabs on your staff’s goals is crucial to keeping them engaged and striving for success.
Worktango focuses on goal setting and incentivising hard work to achieve those goals. Their recognition and rewards feature means you can nominate and award staff for their engagement and achievements.
Plus, you can give public or private compliments in newsfeeds and private chats to keep staff feeling valued and determined to reach personal and company goals.
A lot of team building happens over friendly banter on-site. So, when your team is scattered across multiple jobs and lacks in-person contact, you need a way to keep them feeling connected.
With an in-app chat, people management tools and a social newsfeed, ConnectTeam helps do just that. You can also send reward tokens to redeem gifts, ask staff to complete satisfaction surveys, and track employee milestones.
Staff who turn up for work with a positive attitude are a much bigger asset than unhappy ones. The difference lies in the work culture you create, which is where Bonusly comes in. The app supports managers and peer-to-peer recognition to boost positive work cultures. It also has automatic reminders for birthdays and work anniversaries.
Tradify helps with all aspects of business, from field service management and job scheduling to timesheets, an integrated calendar and a subcontractor Connections feature. A well-organised company means happy and motivated staff. They’ll get paid on time for the right hours, know where they need to be, and won’t waste time on excess paperwork.
