While it’s important to implement the right cross-department collab practices, it’s equally important to keep track of how well your multidisciplinary teams perform. This can be achieved by using a platform like Network Perspective, which helps you understand which cross-functional teams are doing a great job to maximize business outcomes, and where the processes call for refinements.

An increasing number of businesses are now using Organization Network Analytics platforms to analyze employee data and improve their satisfaction and productivity levels. However, wrapping your head around Workplace Analytics might seem daunting at first. To give you a helping hand, we’ve listed a few introductory readings that will explain what ONA brings to the table.

CD PROJEKT RED is a world-renowned videogame development studio, famous for the Witcher games, GWENT: The Witcher Card Game as well as for Cyberpunk 2077.

The pandemic has changed the way companies approach employee experience, it’s no longer about fancy offices and endless perks. To be able to work effectively in a hybrid or remote model, organizations have to turn into data analytics. And this is the exact approach that Salesforce follows. Ernest Ng, VP, Global People Strategy and Analytics, Salesforce says that “Because we are growing at such a fast pace, as a company, workplace analytics is really key to helping us scale efficiently and effectively”.

Whites uses the Network Perspective app to provide teams with continuous feedback about work habits and syncs. The two main challenges of remote work refer to teams’ workload & time management and teams’ well-being and connectivity. More time is spent on collaboration, and on the other hand the intra-tem connectivity and connectivity of new employees is much harder. 

Collecting, analyzing and sharing data can have a massive impact on your organization. However, it’s not enough to share your findings with your HR team only. You should make sure that every single team can freely access, understand and act on people's data. Turn your Workplace Analytics into a self-service for teams, just like Dropbox did.

Once putting the data about work & collaboration patterns in the hands of people leaders & teams, they get a full, more objective and continuous overview of the work habits and experience rooted by them. We strongly believe that leveraging and better understanding of data is the key to improving the future workplace in an impactful way and effectively selecting initiatives not for symptoms, but for root causes.

Tech firms are quite peculiar; they have highly qualified employees, high attrition rate and use specific tools.As you can imagine, their workplace analytics is also rather specific. For this reason, it’s worth looking at how the biggest tech firms such as PayPal, Microsoft and Google approach workplace analytics and share a few tips on how you can do it effectively at your organization.
