The WE Solution crowdsources employee feedback to improve engagement and business outcomes.

“Employee Voice is the most agile way to keep people engaged, connected, and informed, by including them in authentic dialogue and inviting them to help co-create the future,” said Michael Papay, Co-founder and CEO, Waggl.

SAUSALITO, Calif. (PRWEB)
June 04, 2020

Waggl today introduced the Waggl Engagement (WE) Solution, a robust, agile Employee Voice platform designed to inspire employees and empower leaders. The WE Solution is a critical component of the essential productivity suite for all workplaces, remote or in-person, as they start to re-emerge from the COVID-19 crisis.

The WE Solution utilizes Employee Voice to crowdsource real-time insight and drive faster action and alignment around critical business topics. Based on a modern pulse survey platform that enables a shared dialogue around critical questions, the WE Solution enables rapid sharing of results and speed to action. Waggl asks simple question types in a lightweight anonymous pulse. The participant experience is intuitive and game-like, and encourages authentic responses to important questions. By surfacing and prioritizing insights, ideas, and information, the WE Solution helps organizations maintain connection and reinforce a sense of community, and enables teams to align on action.

“For the past few months, remote work and interrupted workflows have presented steep challenges to how organizations keep employees engaged and productive,” said Michael Papay, Co-founder and CEO, Waggl. “As organizations start to re-emerge from this crisis, many leaders are looking for ways to help their workforce return to productivity and a sense of normalcy. Employee Voice is the most agile way to keep people engaged, connected, and informed, by including them in authentic dialogue and inviting them to help co-create the future.”

The WE Solution is based on a proven cycle of inquiry, dialogue and team-derived action that encourages shared ownership and built-in accountability. Waggl’s advanced technology platform is supported by a set of proven work processes, partnership resources, and a question model with three starter modules of simple, validated question sets around key organizational drivers:

• Putting People First During COVID-19. Purpose-built to help leaders learn what their people need to move forward in the wake of the Coronavirus Pandemic, this module includes: Free use of Waggl for 90 days with 3 pre-loaded question sets, a complimentary 15-minute onboarding call, and a comprehensive ‘Getting Started with Waggl” guide.
• Process Shredder. Created to help enterprise organizations simplify work and engage with purpose, this module utilizes Employee Voice to create alignment and fast action on solutions to streamline how work gets done.
• Executive Search. Solicits authentic feedback from staff about the traits they believe new leaders should possess. Generates strong alignment and genuine enthusiasm around new executive hires.

Waggl’s Engagement Solution is far more agile than traditional surveys, and has demonstrated superior employee engagement and speed to action for hundreds of organizations. “Before Waggl, our engagement results were getting better, but we still had issues that were pronounced and clear in regards to the efficiencies of our operations and the efficacy of our management,” said Dru Fearing, Vice President of Talent Management, Freddie Mac. “With Waggl, we’re asking simple questions and quickly getting answers we can use and take action on.”

In tandem with the launch of the WE Solution, Waggl has launched a brand new website that delineates a strong differentiated value proposition and offers a plethora of inspiring new resources for teams and leaders interested in Employee Voice.

NEW YORK (PRWEB)
June 04, 2020

YPO, the global leadership community of more than 29,000 chief executives, conducted an all-member survey to gain continued insights into the impact the global pandemic has had on businesses and chief executive perspectives over the past few weeks as compared to YPO’s previous COVID-19 Surveys from 17 March and 22 April.

The latest YPO Chief Executive COVID-19 Global Survey, conducted 27-30 May and drawing 2,718 respondents, indicates an increase in optimism among chief executives compared to YPO’s COVID-19 April survey, but a majority (50%) say the diminished demand for their products/services is the greatest obstacle to their business’s viability, followed by changes in consumer behavior (44%) and operating restrictions from government (32%).

Key additional findings include:

• 
  Business leaders are split when it comes to the topic of the easing of restrictions and businesses reopening with 49% sharing it is just right, 43% saying it is too slow and 8% believing it is too fast.
• A resurgence of COVID-19 would have significant consequences for business globally, with 6% of chief executives sharing their business would be at risk of not surviving a second wave, with 72% noting it would pose a moderate-to-large threat.
• Most business leaders (55%) reported their companies received some form of government support during the past few months, while 45% said they did not receive it, 44% of which stated that they did not receive it because they did not require the support. Of those who received government support, most selected to use the support towards payroll (81%).

— Business leaders in Australia/New Zealand (71%), United States (67%), and Canada (65%) were more likely to have received government support, while those in South Asia* (5%), Africa (24%), and Latin America (26%) were less likely to have received government support. Government support did not have a significant impact on recipient chief executives’ business outlooks or perspectives on the pace of reopening.

— Company size was a significant factor in determining which businesses received government support. Leaders of organizations with more than 500 employees reported receiving lower levels of government support (38%) as compared to their peers who run companies with less than 100 employees (65%) and companies with 100-500 employees (59%).

• The majority (64%) of respondents say their business outlook is more negative compared to 1 March; this is a marked improvement from the previous month, when 84% of chief executives had a negative outlook.

— As the COVID-19 pandemic progresses, regional differences are emerging, with chief executives in South Asia (51%), Africa (50%) and MENA (41%) saying their business outlook has become significantly more negative since 1 March, while leaders in Australia/New Zealand (35%), Canada (35%) and United States (26%) have the most positive outlook when compared to 1 March.

• Sentiments of a prolonged recovery remain prevalent, as chief executives anticipate continuing negative effects one year from 1 March on revenue (49%), headcount (39%) and total fixed investment (39%). This too is directionally more positive when compared to the chief executives’ April responses to the anticipated continuing negative effects one year from 1 March on revenue (65%), headcount (49%) and total fixed investment (53%).

— Business leaders in the United States (14%), Europe (14%) and Asia** (15%) are the least likely to expect their total number of employees to be down more than 20% a year from now. Chief executives in South Asia (40%), followed by Latin America (27%) and Africa (24%), are more likely to expect a decrease in employees in the next 12 months.

— Australia/New Zealand chief executives (13%) are the least likely to expect their total fixed investment to be down more than 20% a year from now, compared to 1 March 2020 levels. Business leaders in the Middle East/North Africa (41%) and South Asia (40%) are the most likely to expect a decrease in fixed investments.

• Business leaders, when asked how they would handle the crisis differently, mainly shared (23%) that they would not change their leadership approach while others cited they would be quicker to respond (21%), manage human resources differently (15%), improve communications (14%), and improve capital management (14%).

YPO Chief Executive Global Survey on the Business Impact of COVID-19 Methodology:

The YPO Survey on COVID-19 was conducted by YPO from 27-30 May 2020 via an online questionnaire. A total of 2,718 YPO members responded to the survey. The members in this sample are representative of the larger YPO population and come from 100 different countries. The margin of sampling error is plus or minus 1.79 percentage points at the 95 percent confidence level.

*South Asia includes India, Nepal and Sri Lanka.

**Asia includes Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Republic of Korea, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam.
