Just a blank page with "No Signals" in the center. Only when I allow stripe.com to load, do I see the webpage. I get it that stripe is required for subscription, but to prevent the site loading if stripe isn't enabled is not exactly nice I think.
Note: jquery.com, jsdeliver.net, and prismic.io allowed to load. licdn.com and stripe.com disallowed.
You lost me at SMS.
Ahaha! Fair call. We're looking to support WhatsApp but SMS is handy because it's not an org owned platform. I've previously been in large corporates where chat logs etc. are maintained and might present a risk to the end user that's beyond our control. Also, response rates are way, way higher through SMS than any other delivery method.
(Sorry if I missed that you had already tried or are planning those)
It’s been really good to get quick feedback on the happiness of our employees. It’s been interesting the ups and downs that come through. A lesson I’ve learned is you don’t want to be too reactive, as things change quickly depending on the week. But you can pick up trends over a few iterations (for us, it was people wanted more social events organized).
One thing we really wanted to solve was allowing people a chance to break out of management hierarchies and go direct to founders. Even in a small company like ours, we had some middle management that blocked feedback. This has allowed people to bypass that. It’s a modern “my door is always open” system that seems to work so far.
On the anonymity discussed here, I’d say it’s anonymous in terms of the platform hides everything from us. But when you’re small like us, you tend to be able to guess who said what based on tone or writing style. But I think the point about the kind of company that wants to use this is a good one. We are using it because we care about what our employees think, not as a way to trap people and use it against them.
Employee surveys are never anonymous, even if you say they are. If I get a link containing an ID, it can be traced to me. If I had a bowl of tickets with these links, and was offered to select one (lottery style), only then would I trust in anonymity. Of course, the survey would have to be reachable from outside of the corporate network for all this to work.
Actually a really great idea perhaps.
In the HR space there is definitely a place for pseudonomous feedback/issue raising. Not anonymous where a disgruntled employee can raise 10 separate issues and appear as 10 disgruntled employees.
Not sure how your idea would work in practice but letting the employee choose a "ticket" sounds like a nice concept.

That said, it's still frequently obvious due to people's writing styles, the nature of their complaints, timing.
If your manager wants to fire you they don't need to create a complicated ruse to get evidence that you're unhappy, or that you have opinions or think that they are a bad manager. None of which are anywhere near a justification for firing, anyway.
In fact, at most companies, telling your manager that you're unhappy and looking for work elsewhere is more likely to get you rewarded with a promo or bonus.

integration with imessage would be the most valuable. where internet is strong, but cell signal is weak, SMS is really brutal. that's my life. any data that can't flow "over the internet" is just ridiculous at this point
This is a great idea. Thank you! We will look into it for sure. We're looking at WhatApp, WeChat, etc. too and trying to decide the best way for us to let the staff decide how they want to receive the message.

1. A set of questions is created on which the employer would love to get answers to from employees.
2. If a company has 100 employees, 100 unique tickets are printed out on a piece of paper (it could contain a qr code which leads to the survey)
3. All paper tickets are placed in a bowl at the reception and employees are able to take a ticket each
4. Employee goes home, uses their phone to scan the QR code and fills out the survey, ensuring total anonymity. Each ticket has a unique ID, ensuring only one response per ticket. The empployer can not possibly know which ticket was taken from the bowl by which employee.
5. The results are in, and employers get 100% anonymous but 100% honest responses.

We use OfficeVibe, and I have full employee access. There is absolutely no feature anywhere that shows me who submitted a comment. I could just about hack one together by putting each person into a one-person team, but the user would be able to see that themselves. Sure, we can imagine a conspiracy where my CEO has a special button, but I strongly doubt it. That said, it's still frequently obvious due to people's wri…
