Why did we create Sentemeter?
Two things collided to inspire us to create Sentemeter.
Firstly, in our various working roles we had seen first-hand the impact that negative behaviour has on individual positivity and team productivity, from bad managers to disengaged individuals spreading dissatisfaction. Human behaviour, trust and emotional intelligence (EQ) within organisations continues to effect peoples’ satisfaction, commitment, loyalty and performance, as well as impact an organisation’s culture and word of mouth reputation. Being ‘a great place to work’ matters more than ever in our new working normal, but how leaders’ approach this still seems to be very hit and miss, and often complex, costly and slow.
Secondly, for many years we’ve helped large organisations use data, insight and visual measurement to engage operational teams and manage functional productivity. But we saw few easy-to-use measurement tools around behaviour and emotional performance factors such as teamworking, trust, recognition, positivity and appreciation. Traditional employee surveys are time and cost intensive, and reinforce the two way nature of traditional work hierarchies rather than support modern networked organisations.
We thought there has to be a better way. We applied our analytic, visualisation and solution-based thinking to create Sentemeter to be a practical and powerful measurement tool in everyone’s pocket to help create better work-places for individuals, managers and leaders.
We designed Sentemeter to be easy and valuable for users, whilst providing data and metrics for people managers and business leaders. A win-win, give and get system for growing great places to work.

In 2018, the first version of Sentemeter was launched. Since then, it has been through several phases of improvement in feedback-driven functionality, surged past its 3 million feedbacks milestone, won industry-recognized awards, achieved an average of 85%+ staff participation, significantly reduced (up to 90%) the % of sub-optimum behaviors reported and helped early adopters reach record profitability and obtain the coveted Great Place to Work certification.
The results so far have been far beyond any initial expectations. If you are an Employee, Manager, HR Executive, CEO or other stakeholder and would like to see how your organisation can directly or indirectly benefit from Sentemeter, please contact us below.
