Your organisation wants to prioritise employee engagement and build a workplace experience your people really love. Exciting!

Now you’ve been tasked with researching employee engagement tool vendors and building the business case for investment. It’s true that making the case for new technology can be tough, especially against a challenging financial backdrop.

But a great business case makes investment feel like an easy decision.

In this interactive workbook, we’ll walk you through an easy four-stage process to build a business case. Throughout you’ll find practical exercises to work through and cheat-sheets with data and guidance to bolster your case.

You'll learn how to:

• Lead with the need to show how your proposed technology helps address your biggest challenges or capitalise on your biggest opportunities
• Outline possible solutions and analyse the different approaches you could take
• Grade your preferred vendors in order to narrow down the options and present a shortlist
• Detail next steps including implementations
• And more!

Winningtemp recently launched five new question categories to enhance our employee surveys and ensure they reflect the new challenges faced by organisations since the pandemic.  

In fact, the sudden shift to remote work did not hurt performance as many leaders had feared, and many employees excelled in remote settings. But as time passed, new struggles with mental health and well-being surfaced. Organisational issues became more common – budget cuts, poor economic outlook, hybrid working models, scarce and expensive talent, to name a few.  

We asked ourselves: are our employee surveys keeping pace in such a fast-changing environment?  

With our vision of helping our customers to succeed together, we identified a need to develop new survey question categories which allow progressive organisations to gather feedback and employee insight on:

- Psychological safety

- Cross-functional collaboration

- Person-job fit

- Transparency  

- Subjective well-being

Once again, these new science-based categories are the result of our extensive collaboration with PhD researcher Leif Denti from the University of Gothenburg. Our efforts allowed us to understand more about what data really matters when it comes to predicting employee behaviour.

This white paper aims to define the categories and compile the research literature on the predictive ability of the categories in relation to different types of outcomes and effects on psychosocial health and the psychosocial work environment. The focus has been on various types of outcomes including employee turnover, sick leave, performance, commitment, job satisfaction, customer satisfaction.

The outcomes predicted by the five new categories are summarised in this white paper.

MODERN PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT

‍Practice ongoing conversations

Discard the tradition annual/bi-annual performance reviews and make the process more dynamic for increased engagement and productivity. Being agile and flexible in your approach enables you to connect with your people on various levels and crucial touchpoints to provide a smooth employee experience throughout their lifecycle.

Ongoing conversations and systematic progress updates help both the manager and the team members work more efficiently and with better focus. On the other hand, employees feel heard and they feel invested in the success of the organisation as a whole.

Segment one-on-ones into different types of dialogues based on their purpose and duration and choose the right talking points to get the conversation going.
