The Success Story

Like most great success stories, Emplify began as a simple idea.

As the company considered ways to improve engagement for its own employees, it thought that bringing snacks into the office might be a good place to start. But when polling was done, the results showed that what people actually wanted was a 401(k) match and then maybe some snacks.

This was a pivotal moment for the company as it realized that soliciting and quantifying honest feedback is the only way to truly understand and work toward improving employee engagement. After all, when one has a metric for everything else in the business, why not culture?

So Emplify set out to build a tool that helps leaders know exactly what they need to do in order to improve engagement for their organizations. The company created Emplify Insights, a tool that delivers an honest, straightforward view of one’s company through confidential, data-driven surveys. Based on scientific measurements of employee engagement, each survey is completely confidential and provides leaders with a single top-line score to track progress each quarter.

It believes in the value of Emplify Insights not just for others’ organization, but for its own. Since utilizing this tool for its own engagement, it has recognized several areas for improvement and made specific changes in response to that feedback.

Today, Emplify is well-positioned to help people-centered CEOs and HR leaders measure, diagnose, and solve their employee engagement challenges through a combination of insightful survey data and expert guidance.

Employee insights one need is closer than one thinks!

Emplify is an employee engagement platform that delivers honest feedback for proactive action.

While today’s companies are using powerful data to get ahead of the game, most leadership teams are still relying on gut feelings over proven metrics. But relying on intuition alone makes it hard to advocate for a winning culture. Hence, Emplify was born to help.

The company eliminates the guesswork with confidential, data-driven surveys that are based on scientific measurements of employee engagement.  One needs a hassle-free survey with quick answers and relevant solutions. Emplify handles every aspect of survey administration.

Accessible via mobile app, text, email, and web, its survey takes just six minutes to complete, and offers the confidentiality of a third-party survey. The survey reaches every employee (both in and out of the office), so communication barriers are eliminated and real feedback is encouraged that helps one to see exactly where employee disengagement is happening, and what should be done about it.
