Elevating Performance Management: How 15Five Transformed OpenSignal’s Employee Engagement
15Five is helping OpenSignal increase their engagement and performance.
Staying aligned with your organization’s goals and objectives can be a challenging feat. At OpenSignal, the leading global provider of independent insight and data into network experience and market performance, this challenge was met head-on and conquered with the help of the 15Five platform. 15Five not only enabled OpenSignal to enhance its performance management systems but also fostered a profound sense of engagement and purpose among its employees.
From Manual to Mastery: Streamlining Performance Management
Before implementing 15Five, OpenSignal grappled with the intricacies of performance management through manual processes. Extracting vital data and deciphering actionable insights from it often consumed weeks of time, leaving room for inefficiencies and delays. The process lacked the speed and agility required in today’s dynamic landscape. Recognizing the need for a transformation, Senior Business Partner and People Partner, Christan Cavanaugh, and the OpenSignal team embraced 15Five, a platform that promised to leverage data for informed decision-making and elevate the performance management experience to drive real business outcomes.
The impact was swift and noticed immediately. OpenSignal’s journey with 15Five translated into heightened people partnership and collaboration from HR to the rest of the org. 15Five’s engagement survey was instrumental in enabling the rapid uncovering of data and facilitating actionable steps. What was once a time-consuming ordeal had evolved into a streamlined process, delivering a repository of valuable insights, all within a few clicks.
The Power of Unity: Having Insights At Our Fingertips
Centralization can often be the catalyst for productivity and growth, especially as teams are more and more siloed today with growing teams, remote work, and navigating multiple time zones. 15Five served as a cohesive force, uniting vital information in a single, accessible repository. The simplicity of drop-down menus and the ability to delve deep into specific areas streamlined processes, making information readily available at the fingertips of managers when they needed it most. In essence, 15Five acted as an enabler, fostering a culture of efficiency and responsiveness.
Using insights from engagement data helped the people team at OpenSignal create action plans to help support their crucial assets – their managers – and help them be more effective in driving things like engagement, retention, and performance.
“The Engagement Surveys by far have been a game changer in terms of how quickly we can get the data and make actions happen.”
