Your website sucks, but this sounds like something a talent-driven company outside of The Valley would eat up like potato chips.

Thanks for your motivating feedback. I haven't put a lot of effort on the website and had put up a basic site.

I hope I didn't sound derisive. Your target market is HR/PI departments in small to medium sized companies and your website should reflect that. The kind of developers that are in a position to implement this type of solution don't work at the kind of companies that need it.

Honest & constructive feedback are always welcome.

You made a good point. We are trying to target the team managers who want to take control of their team's productivity by monitoring their happiness metric.

Not bad though I don't think employees would be happy to take such survey which obviously has some privacy issue.Risking making employees less happy after meeting is not wise at all.

Can you please elaborate on privacy issue? We are capturing the responses in a way that the managers will not know who gave the response. Only aggregated responses are shown to the team managers.

Of course, this will only work with a team size more than 5 people.

There's a startup out of New Orleans called Niko, Niko that does something very similar. It's about understanding your employees satisfaction levels. They can also reply anonymously with helpful suggestions to management. Seems like a great idea.

This is a great idea. Happiness does help employees productivity. I'd like to see more features though.
