After many years of filling in traditional employee surveys, I felt there had to be a way to capture more honest, worthwhile feedback.
Today we’ve turned our concept of ‘continuous listening’ into a system that helps people feel valued.
I remain truly inspired by the success our clients achieve using our system.
Traditional employee surveys are dead. Long live employee feedback.
Our growth by engagement vision
Important issues like work-life balance and personal wellbeing dominate today's cultural agenda.
And it’s no surprise that business leaders and HR professionals need new ways to maximise employee satisfaction, wellbeing and performance.
Closing the door on employees who might not perform at their peak is no longer viable.
Today, the objective is to maximise the potential of every employee for the greater good.
Progressive employers understand this vital approach. And so did Hugh Tonks and Jerry Pett when they founded Empoll™.
Hugh is a visionary with management experience in successful global enterprises.
Jerry is a tech-entrepreneur with senior leadership experience at some of the world’s most successful telecoms businesses.
Together, they took their concept of ‘continuous listening’ and launched the most advanced employee feedback platform.
Today, world-leading companies make agile business decisions to grow faster based on insights generated by Thymo™.
Thymo™ runs in the cloud to help our clients configure feedback processes in a fraction of the time needed by traditional survey platforms.
Our proprietary technology recognises the cultural values in any company to generate tailored feedback that matters.
And employees speak their minds safe in the knowledge that feedback is anonymous.
Give your people a voice, make better decisions on the insights, and grow your business faster .
Empoll — Innovative, Sustainable and Ethical.
