What a free EHS cycle shows you in practice

The best way to understand what measuring how your people feel about working at your organisation actually produces is to see it in practice. Not a demo, not a case study - a real cycle, with your own people, producing your own score.

That is what a free EHS cycle gives you. And what you get from it is more useful than most leaders expect before they start.

You get a baseline, which is the most important thing

Before you have measured anything, you are working from assumption. You have a sense of how your people feel about working at your organisation - built from conversations, observations and the general read you develop over time as a leader. That sense is useful, but it is not a number.

Your first EHS cycle gives you a number. That number is your baseline - the starting point from which everything else is measured. A baseline is the most important output of a first cycle, because without it you cannot measure change.

You see what participation actually looks like

One of the questions leaders have before running their first cycle is whether their people will respond. The only way to know what yours will look like is to run the check-in and see.

Most organisations find that participation is higher than they expected - particularly once people understand that the check-in is anonymous, simple and takes less than thirty seconds.

You experience what the signal feels like to manage

Having a score is different to having run a survey. It sits in your dashboard continuously, updating as check-ins come in, showing you the direction of travel rather than a static result.

For most leaders, the first experience of having this kind of visibility is reassuring rather than alarming. The score is usually more stable than expected.

You get your Awards entry automatically

Every organisation that completes a free EHS cycle is automatically entered into the Employee Happiness Score Awards. Your score is benchmarked against organisations in your sector and if it places in the top tier, you will be recognised.

The takeaway

A free EHS cycle gives you a baseline, a participation rate, a live signal to manage from and a sector benchmark - all from a single check-in cycle. It is not a trial of a feature. It is a real measurement of how your people feel about working at your organisation, producing data you can act on from day one.
