Your EHS score tells you how your people feel about working at your organisation. It does not tell you why. And for most leaders, the why is where the useful management information lives.
Ask EHS is the explanation layer - the part of the platform that helps you understand what is behind the score. Not as a feature to lead with, but as a tool that becomes more valuable the more data you have.
What Ask EHS does
Ask EHS helps you explore scores and employee comments to find themes and patterns across your check-ins. It can highlight what is changing across teams and over time, giving you more context than the score alone.
Rather than telling you what score you have, it helps you understand the patterns that are producing that score. Which teams are moving differently from the rest? Is there a pattern in when scores tend to dip?
When Ask EHS becomes most useful
Ask EHS becomes significantly more useful once you have several cycles of data. With a single cycle, there is limited pattern to surface. With three or more cycles, the directional trends, team-level differences, and event-related movements start to become visible.
The questions worth asking at this stage are ones that explore movement rather than level. Not what is our score but what has been driving the movement in our score over the last two months.
How Ask EHS handles anonymity
Responses are anonymous unless an employee chooses to reveal their identity to your organisation. Ask EHS helps you understand the scores and themes in employee comments, with comments and analysis kept private within your organisation.
Only anonymous scores contribute to sector benchmarks. The EHS team cannot see employee comments. Ask EHS can analyse those comments to identify themes and patterns for your organisation, but they are not shared publicly.
Using Ask EHS alongside your regular score review
The most effective use of Ask EHS is as part of a regular score review habit. After each cycle closes, look at the score and the trend - then use Ask EHS to explore what is behind any movement you want to understand better.
The takeaway
Ask EHS is the explanation layer behind your score. It does not replace the score - it helps you understand what is producing it, by surfacing patterns across your check-in data that are difficult to see in the numbers alone. Use it after cycles close, with questions that explore movement rather than level.
