What Those Employee Engagement Survey Numbers Really Mean

Image
So, You’ve Got the Numbers… Now What? You’ve launched your employee engagement survey, the responses are in, and you’re staring at the results. There are percentages, averages, and maybe even a few fancy charts. But let’s be honest — what do those numbers  actually  mean? It’s tempting to celebrate a high engagement score or panic over a low one, but the real value lies  beneath  the numbers. Engagement data isn’t just about metrics — it’s about stories, emotions, and what your people are trying to tell you. High Scores Aren’t Always the Full Story A 90% engagement score looks great on paper, right? But before you pat yourself on the back, take a closer look. High scores can sometimes hide subtle issues — like teams that are satisfied but not truly inspired, or employees who are loyal but burned out. Engagement isn’t just about being happy at work. It’s about being energized, motivated, and connected to the company’s purpose. If your survey results look “too perfect,...

Beyond The Score: Essential Next Steps After Running Your Net Promoter Survey

Image
Running a Net Promoter Score (NPS) survey is often seen as the final step in measuring customer loyalty. You’ve sent out the survey, crunched the numbers, and maybe even celebrated your score — finally, some data! But, wait… now what? Many companies make the mistake of considering the net promoter survey as a standalone metric. They think that gathering data is the hard part, but it’s actually just the beginning of a process that can drive significant business improvements. In fact, there are several crucial next steps that most businesses overlook or underprioritize. Let’s dive into what those steps are, and why they matter for your brand’s long-term success. 1. Dig Deeper Than the Score The NPS score itself, whether it’s a 9 or a 2, provides a general sense of customer sentiment. But the real insights are in the details. Don’t just focus on the score. Look closely at the open-ended feedback. What are your promoters saying? Are there particular product features they rave about? What d...

How Intercept Surveys Reduce Churn For SaaS Companies

Image
Retention is one of the biggest challenges SaaS companies face. While attracting new users is important, keeping them engaged and subscribed over time is what really drives growth. One effective tool SaaS businesses use today to improve retention is intercept surveys. What Is a Website Intercept Survey? Imagine a visitor browsing your SaaS platform’s dashboard or pricing page, and a small survey pops up asking a quick, relevant question. Not intrusive, just timely and helpful. That’s a website intercept survey: a targeted, real-time way to collect feedback from users while they’re actively using your site. Why SaaS Companies Use Them for Retention SaaS products rely heavily on ongoing user engagement. If customers don’t stick around, your churn rate goes up, and revenue suffers. Website intercept surveys help by: Collecting real-time feedback:  Instead of waiting weeks or months to gather user opinions, you get instant insights. For example, if a new feature is confusing users, you...

Market Research Surveys: The Good, The Bad, And The “Why Did I Even Ask?

Image
Market research surveys can go one of two ways: they can be incredibly useful… or leave you scratching your head, wondering what went wrong. When they’re done well, surveys help you understand your audience, validate your ideas, and make smarter, data-backed decisions. But when they’re done poorly? You get results that confuse more than they clarify and you’re left asking,  “Why did I even ask this?” Let’s unpack it: the good, the bad, and the “why did I even ask?” moments of market research surveys. The Good: When Surveys Actually Deliver A well-crafted survey is one of the smartest tools in your marketing toolkit. Here’s what happens when it works: You uncover real insights  — not just surface-level opinions, but detailed feedback about customer needs, frustrations, and expectations. You reduce risk  — by testing ideas before launching them, whether it’s a product, a campaign, or a feature. You make confident decisions  — backed by actual data, not assumptions or g...

What’s The Best Way To Act On The Feedback Received From A 360 Survey?

Image
You’ve just wrapped up your 360 feedback survey. The responses are in, the charts are colorful, and the feedback is… well, a mix of flattering, surprising, and maybe a little uncomfortable. Now what? This is where the real work begins. A 360 feedback survey isn’t just about collecting opinions; it’s about turning those insights into meaningful growth. But here’s the catch: most people either get defensive, overreact, or tuck the report into a drawer never to be seen again. The key to getting real value lies in how you  act  on the feedback. Let’s break down how to do it right. 1. Pause Before You Pounce It’s tempting to jump straight into action, especially if the results sting. But before doing anything, take a breather. Sit with the feedback. Read it twice. Let your emotions settle so you can approach it with a clear, curious mind. Remember, feedback isn’t a personal attack, it’s a mirror showing how others experience your actions, not who you are. A simple rule? Don’t react...
