Employee listening for people analytics

What did your engagement
survey not tell you?

Your engagement survey returns the scores. Then your team spends weeks piecing together what 
they mean,  and leadership decides whether to believe the narrative. A Savo follow-up conversation digs 
into the areas you need to know more about,  so you can share the 'why' behind the score with confidence.

THE MOMENT AFTER THE SURVEY

Every engagement survey ends with a story.

The data shows what moved. It rarely shows why. So people analytics teams build an explanation from the scores and the comments, take it to leadership, and one of three things happens.

01

They buy the story.

You move to action planning, feeling only somewhat confident in the actions you are planning.

02

They buy part of it.

You go deeper on the parts in question, usually with focus groups that take weeks to put together and only the loudest voices get heard.

03

They don't buy it.

You go back to find out more. You mine the open-ended comments, run focus groups or interviews, or send another survey.

Two of the three paths mean more listening before anyone can act with confidence, and the first path is dependent on an untested narrative. A Savo follow-up conversation is a way to get that listening, without scheduling another survey, interviews, or focus group. Rerun the same follow-up conversation next cycle and compare the reports.

WHAT YOU GET

What you'll know after 
a follow-up conversation

Which parts of your survey story hold up, and which were informed guesses.

Why a score moved, in the words of the people who moved it.

The fixes your people propose, if you ask them.

Every finding traced back to what people actually said.

THE TRADE-OFF

Scale, rigor, depth. Most methods give you two.

Surveys give you scale and rigor. Interviews and focus groups give you depth and rigor, for a few dozen people at a time. AI-facilitated interviews are designed to give you all three. Your team can now understand what your survey findings mean and know, with confidence, what to do next.

Yes, responses are confidential in Confidential mode.
What does it cost? $0.50 a minute. Most people finish in about 10 minutes, so about $5 per person on average.
