As the world moves deeper into remote work and companies become more accommodating regarding remote positions, this truly is an invaluable asset.

Since the remote work style took over tech companies, Maria implemented regular ‘pulse surveys’ to monitor employees’ satisfaction and engagement in their roles. The data from which is compiled and analyzed to give managers super valuable insight into areas of concern. The timing and speed of surveys and the results give real-time information on which areas of employee experience require the most attention.
