Most companies aim to maximize productivity among their staff over time. This goal, called sustainable productivity, balances the demand for increased, faster output with the well-being of employees responsible for delivering these results.
For a team to be sustainably productive, each member must regularly reach a “sweet spot” in their daily work life: where they can perform optimally, deliver output quickly and accurately, stay engaged, and maintain both physical and psychological well-being.
In this article, we introduce TTS’s latest product offering and global partner, Welliba, which provides unique solutions for companies seeking to understand how to achieve and maintain sustainable productivity.
Why measure employee experience?
A theoretical commitment to sustainable productivity alone is insufficient. To genuinely attain it, managers and talent professionals must understand the dynamics at play when teams and individuals perform optimally and identify factors that may contribute to productivity decline or even burnout.
This is where Welliba’s solutions provide answers: they equip managers and other talent decision-makers with actionable, accurate insights into their teams’ performance dynamics. Imagine a dashboard that not only tracks team productivity and outputs but also monitors satisfaction, engagement, and morale.
Welliba’s solution combines AI and behavioral science to transform raw data into performance insights. These analytics offer specific, tailored recommendations that leaders can use to enhance productivity without compromising team health.
At the heart of this approach is the understanding that sustained productivity can only be achieved through data grounded in team dynamics, individual experiences, and rigorous analytics.
What is important to measure?
Traditional methods of measuring employee experience and well-being have relied heavily on time-consuming consultations and self-report surveys. Welliba’s approach is radically different, leveraging emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and Large Language Models (LLMs) to gather data in sophisticated yet unobtrusive ways.
For instance, data traditionally viewed as irrelevant to employee engagement, or data from sources outside of employee feedback, can now be analyzed to reveal insights into an organization’s Employee Value Proposition (EVP) and Employee Experience (EX).
With a proprietary AI engine and a fully transparent, “glass box” approach, Welliba’s solution categorizes and analyzes data sources such as industry forums, social media, news articles, job boards, and other forms of market intelligence. This approach constructs an accurate, objective assessment of a company’s EVP and EX.
Benefits of the approach
Traditional employee engagement measures, like internal surveys, are effective at gathering immediate feedback but often face challenges with participation. Busy schedules or perceptions of irrelevance can lead employees to skip surveys, for instance. Concerns about confidentiality or repercussions may also hinder honesty.
By using external, non-self-reported data to assess EVP and EX, these limitations are largely avoided. External data provides a broader, unbiased perspective on employee experiences without requiring direct participation or the extensive setup of survey systems.
Additionally, this approach enables leaders and talent professionals to access a continuous stream of insights, rather than relying on sporadic surveys that are conducted quarterly or annually.
Final thoughts
Welliba’s approach is world-first in measuring EVP and EX without relying on surveys or time-intensive consultations.
By harnessing the power of AI and LLMs, Welliba’s solution delivers efficient, cost-effective data streams that provide objective, unbiased assessments of team and organizational performance dynamics. This enables leaders to make evidence-based decisions based on actual metrics rather than generic benchmarks.
Follow-up studies on Welliba’s methodology show an impressive 85% overlap between its AI-enhanced reporting and traditional approaches—all without requiring time-consuming surveys that are typically conducted only once.
Innovations Welliba has introduced to EVP and EX measurement have not gone unnoticed. Recently, the company won the 2024 Best HR Tech Company Award at the HR Excellence Awards and Best Start-Up at Unleash 2024 in Paris.
At TTS, we are proud to partner with Welliba and look forward to helping our clients make better talent decisions by understanding their EVP and EX landscapes objectively and efficiently.
