Inspirus Completes Integration With the Happiness Index Surveys 
In a collaboration between Inspirus and its human insight partner, The Happiness Index, Inspirus says it now “provides organizations a single solution that measures employee sentiment and delivers insights that can improve employee engagement, elevate company culture and drive business success. Inspirus says that “each pre-built employee survey uses neuroscience to help organizational leaders understand how employees are thinking and feeling. Neuroscience is a proven, science-based methodology that considers the structures, reactions, and psychological behaviors of all humans, uniting the head and the heart. Emotions have long been taboo in the workplace, but neuroscience shows us that they’re an essential part of being human and are, in fact, the key to understanding employees,” the company says on its blog.
The company says that options include:
- Workplace Culture Surveys, a baseline survey to evaluate an organization’s cultural health.
- The Employee Voice Survey is a tool available 24/7 that gives employees the ability to share their feedback anonymously.
- eNPS measures the employee experience, similar to how an NPS survey measures customer satisfaction.
- Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) Surveys helps leaders understand diversity, equality, and inclusion in within the organization.
- Organizational Change Surveys support organizational change by inviting a dialogue about how employees think and feel.
- Vision & Values Surveys address what LinkedIn reports is the magic formula to attract and retain top talent: corporate values, culture, and sustainability — ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance), the company says, is what places the top 100 companies ahead of all their competitors.
- Well-being and Mental Health Surveys measure individual well-being levels and the impact of specific initiatives.
- Safety
- Freedom
- Relationships
- Acknowledgement
- Personal Growth
- Meaning and Purpose
- Clarity
- Enablement
- Employee lifecycle surveys.
The Exit Survey polls individuals leaving the company to capture their thoughts and feelings so organizations can make adjustments that will improve the culture for those who stay.
The Return-to-Work Survey keeps leaders’ fingers on the pulse of the physical, emotional, and mental well-being of employees as they return to work after being separated due to serious health conditions, childbirth, adoption, military leave, or other life circumstances.
