What’s the point of another employee survey?
Most companies run surveys.
Few get anything useful out of them.
What you need is not just data, you need insights you can act on, backed by real research, and trusted by your team.
That’s what the Workplace Happiness Diagnostic Survey delivers.
Built on research, not assumptions
Our survey tools are based on over 500 peer-reviewed scientific studies, mapped directly to the domains of the Workplace Happiness Standard.
That means you get valid results across key dimensions like psychological safety, leadership culture, fairness, purpose and workload – not vague scores and generic advice.
Anonymous by design
Employees won’t speak honestly unless they feel safe.
That’s why our diagnostic survey is fully anonymous, designed for psychological safety, and quick to complete.
You’ll get a clear report with data visualizations, critical patterns, and actionable guidance, and not just a slide deck full of buzzwords.
