REDWOOD CITY, CA — (Marketwired) — 02/18/15 — Glint, the real-time , today announced the launch of the first real-time cloud solution to help people thrive at work. Glint–s sleek, user-friendly platform empowers organizations to send frequent, simple pulses that provide human resources professionals, executives and managers with immediate engagement data. The platform–s rich analytics help companies like FICO, Marketo and others identify and measure the key drivers of engagement specific to their organization and to demographic groups within those organizations.
Businesses have always strived to foster an engaged workforce, and today the need to keep people happy and productive in their jobs is more acute than ever. More than 85 percent of workers worldwide were not engaged or were actively disengaged, , with actively disengaged workers alone costing the U.S. about $500 billion per year. Many organizations have struggled to boost or simply maintain employee engagement using consultants and long annual surveys that produce cumbersome data in lengthy reports that do not fit with today–s fast-moving, always-on workplace. In response, Glint was designed with the idea that engagement should be a real-time conversation, and so its simple and elegant platform empowers employees to communicate freely and gives all leaders the feedback, insights and tools to respond quickly.
“Today employee engagement is one of the biggest competitive differentiators in business,” said Josh Bersin, principal, which advises Fortune 100 companies on HR issues. “It–s exciting to see solution providers help to redefine engagement from an annual measure to a real-time, data-driven program that is core to an entire business strategy.”
Glint–s platform for real-time engagement conversations between people, managers and leadership is based on attractive, user-friendly pulse surveys that take only two or three minutes to complete. Automatic analysis of survey data delivers immediate insights into key employee engagement drivers (leadership, culture, manager, recognition, etc.), and allows managers and executive leadership to slice and dice the data by almost any attribute, including business unit, tenure, location or performance rating, while protecting individual employee confidentiality. In addition, Glint–s cloud solution delivers smart alerts that can highlight groups with engagement scores that fall far outside the industry benchmark or company average, as well as significant increases or decreases in scores.
“We created a platform to deliver real-time feedback that allows you to drill down into specific engagement data while ensuring a level of confidentiality that employees need in order to give direct and honest feedback,” said Glint CEO and Co-Founder Jim Barnett. “In addition, we spent a lot of time and effort designing our pulse surveys so that they are a quick and positive experience that employees look forward to, as opposed to the dreaded annual survey.”
Unlike traditional employee engagement solutions that produce static reports once a year with months-long lag time, Glint provides frequent pulses and predictive analytics and alerts that deliver real-time insights that keep pace with modern business. Glint–s quick implementation and easy configuration empower companies to hit the ground running and react swiftly to new information. And unlike basic survey tools, Glint offers a turnkey solution that can be made available real-time to managers, allowing them to see just their team–s results in comparison to the company average, all while protecting confidentiality. Glint–s platform also allows organizations to compare their scores to industry benchmarks and easily produces presentation-ready results and insights for internal communication.
Glint has already helped FICO, the leading analytics software company with more than 2,600 employees in 25 locations worldwide, establish a responsive and agile new approach to employee engagement. Using Glint–s solution, FICO has reduced the cycle time from measurement to analysis to action, and its leadership gained a deeper understanding of the employee drivers with Glint–s interactive dashboards.
“With Glint, we have more frequent longitudinal data and an environment where managers can analyze it in real time. It–s proven invaluable in increasing awareness and energy around the topic of workforce engagement,” said Richard Deal, SVP and chief human resources officer at FICO. “More importantly, we sent a very clear message: we care about how you–re feeling.”
Glint is now fully available through an annual software-as-a-service subscription model. For more information or to register for our upcoming introductory webinar on Feb. 26, visit .
