Before, we were mostly relying on face-to-face interactions and perceptions. Having an accurate and precise picture of how the team is doing is a big time saver. **What do you dislike about Sparkbay?** The export feature could be improved. Being able to export excel sheets would help us extract some data to create curve analysis. **What problems is Sparkbay solving and how is that benefiting you?** Keeping accurate data on employee engagement. Helping managers improve their team's satisfaction. ### 3. Sparkbay makes us more efficient in driving positive changes **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kyra S. | Human Resource Generalist, Information Services, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 14, 2018 **What do you like best about Sparkbay?** Answering the surveys are a walk-in-the-park. They literally take less than a minute. The software is easy to understand and the questions are well designed. Sparkbay makes it easy to understand the data so we're able to drive positive changes. **What do you dislike about Sparkbay?** It would be great if we had the option of having longer/custom voting periods for the conversations. **What problems is Sparkbay solving and how is that benefiting you?** We used to do in-house surveys. But the time and effort required to design them and collect the results was making the process ineffective. So we ended up doing them only a few time a year. With Sparkbay, employees are automatically surveyed on a regular basis and the results are provided in real time. We're also able to get deeper analysis than before, which make it easier to implement the right initiative for the right people. Participation rate is also higher because the surveys are much easier to respond to. ### 4. Powerful, yet simple tool to keep our employees engaged **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Lisa C. | Workforce management, Entertainment, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 02, 2018 **What do you like best about Sparkbay?** I like the extensive and simple analytics Sparkbay provides. It is easy to be fooled by the simplicity of it, but once you get your first reports, you can there is so much data made available to you. And it is presented in a way that makes it easy for anyone to understand the full picture. Management was baffled. SB keeps improving the way data is presented, both in quantity and quality. This tool really gives us a complete picture and their support team makes the job so much easier. **What do you dislike about Sparkbay?** Too much data (kidding). Seriously, the tool's capabilities go beyond our actual needs, so I don't feel we are using it at its full potential. For example, we just started using it to get employee insights by demography (seniority, age, gender, ..) **Recommendations to others considering Sparkbay:** If you are looking for a tool to give you the most complete picture on how your employees are feeling, it doesn't get much better than that. And combined with their superb support team, analyzing your data is a piece of cake. Plus their simple and sleek reports will wow your audience during meetings. **What problems is Sparkbay solving and how is that benefiting you?** Trying to build a culture of engagement and inclusion and maintaining the open communication we had when we were a smaller company. ### 5.
