The business world is competitive and it’s getting tougher. With no regard for the size of your business. The competitors poach the best talent from smaller, successful companies. And the employees get job recommendations from LinkedIn and other platforms all the time.
It’s pretty important to retain our best talent. And that needs active engagement.
Many companies have gone to the extent of setting up special HR cells for engagement. Or they outsource the engagement activities to agencies.
But they MISS an important distinction.
- If an employee likes sports, but you give him a musical night, that won’t make an impact.
- An employee who needs help with his job role and is struggling to meet his targets won’t be interested in your fun carnival encroaching into his work hours.
- When people are facing burnout, and are anguished about their relationship with a new manager, engagement activities just become futile. And they want to shift to other places.
Listening To Employee’s Real Needs Is important.
That’s where Employee Pulse Monitoring comes into picture.

Nudges: The Secret Sauce That Improves Performance
We go beyond mere surveys. Employers and HR get an analytical report describing the success and challenges in the organisation. At the same time, employees and managers are given Nudges (Suggestions for action) which can help them improve their performance.
It’s like there is a personal counsellor for employees and managers who help them grow with personalised recommendations. Our system also monitors the actions taken by the employees and how it reflect in their future responses.
On the other hand, our system can recognise emerging issues and managers also receive nudges to improve their leadership style. They also get suggestions for gaining new knowledge and skills. This helps the individual manager, as well as the overall leadership level in the organisation.
Case Study:
One of our SME clients in the IT service sector implemented Employee Pulse Monitoring. Within 2 weeks they understood that the programming team was resisting some of their new initiatives.
The business owner took quick action. He took the programming team in confidence and shared with them the new positioning that the company was adopting in the marketplace. In light of this information, the programming team could appreciate the importance of new initiatives.
The business owner was elated. In his own words, ‘Employee Pulse Monitoring helped us recognise the problem early. Without it, we would have wasted another 2 months fuming and fighting.’
