Up Hellas has been active in the Greek market for six years, providing digital-first tax-free corporate privileges, which transform the experience of employees in the workplace. He recently created a new digital tool, which is offered in combination to the employees and the HR of each company.
The HR Squad is a platform that facilitates communication between corporate leadership and employees, while enhancing the culture of employee engagement, with the aim of creating happier and more connected teams. It is the latest service of Up, which comes to be added to the existing solutions of the company (meal card, gift card, food coupons, gift voucher, UpFit subscription).
The need for a team engagement tool in organizations is obvious. Businesses face significant challenges for their people in the years to come, such as the balance between life and work, the impact of teleworking andability to retain employees with a high level of commitment and dedication. In fact, according to a 2018 survey by the Gallup Institute, in Western Europe only 10% of employees feel engaged and really interested in their work while at the same time companies with a high commitment rate have 17% higher productivity and 21% higher profitability in relationship with companies with a low commitment rate.
To HR Squad is based on four pillars:
1. Weekly Beat: Weekly polls ask employees for their views on important corporate issues. It thus allows organizations to listen to the emotions and progress of their employees and the differentiation that results in the different teams of the company
2. Custom Polls: Targeted questionnaires for a full understanding of the important issues of organizations
3. Rewards: Reward mechanism that encourages and enhances positive feedback among employees
4. Suggestions: Improved framework for proposals for leadership and employee collaboration on corporate transformation and proposed improvements
With HR Squad the companies:
-They understand how the team feels, having the opinion of the employees on any issue
-They improve the company’s weaknesses by having solutions suggested by the employees
-They create a culture of appreciation by making the team stronger
With HR Squad the employees:
-They freely share their ideas and express their feelings
–They feel important as their hard work is recognized by their colleagues
-Important important decisions of the company
According to Bastien Agnes, Managing Director of Up, the positive culture of a company strengthens the energy of employees and helps them exchange ideas on how they could contribute to the organization. Of course, the HR Squad, like any similar tool, is not the only answer to all the questions but it can act as a catalyst. What is certain is that it will ignite the spark of commitment and dedication and will focus on employees giving the leadership the opportunity to make an action plan.
