Burn out. Ready to quit. Waiting to be fired. We’ve all been there, experiencing a feeling of utter exhaustion and lack of motivation. If we’ve been there, we know our employees have been there. Employee burnout is an undeniable thing in today’s hyper paced working environments. But how do we know what it really looks like – and how do we deal with it effectively?

We live in a society where speaking your mind or facing difficult issues head-on is often looked at with derision. In team settings, most frustrations are glossed over and people are often told to ‘let things slide’. While rejecting drama and politics can be a productive approach, what happens when a major issue arises? Most companies are not prepared to deal with difficulties, and this often results in mounting tension and persistent dilemmas that obstruct workflow. However, what if you could use science and technology to help solve these important issues in real-time?

For the most part, we speak at a high level regarding the importance of employee engagement and human capital management. We’ve discussed everything from how it plays an important role in your company’s culture as well as how it affects your profit margins per employee. However, we haven’t really dug deep into the science behind this, which is the core of VibeCatch’s flagship product, the Quality of Work Life Index (QWL).

Ahh, employee assessments. That time of year that everyone loves to hate. While employee reviews are scorned by staff far and wide, statistics show that many companies have no inclination of getting rid of them. They are, and potentially always will be, a workplace standard. Yet, in a recent study nearly one quarter of people polled indicated they were afraid of these reviews. So how to improve upon an age-old tactic?

HR Tech has certainly come a long way.  If you check out Angel List and look up every HR Tech Startup that is listed in their database, you will see almost 200 startups with almost 1,000 investors and 100 different jobs currently being offered.  Since New Year’s Day, there are already four new HR Tech Startups listed.  Most people have no clue that this industry is literally booming right now.  Unless you work in human resources, most people wouldn’t even know that every year, Las Vegas holds a massive conference for HR technology.  In fact, almost 9,000 attendees make it each year, with more than 300 exhibiting companies and over 75 new product announcements. 

So why is this industry booming?  What’s going on right now that wasn’t going on before?  Back in October, HR Dive caught up with some HR professionals who gave us some insights on what what’s happening and what to look for.  

What better way to ring in the new year than to introduce something that will change, I mean, REVOLUTIONIZE the way you get feedback from your team.  It’s our resolution of revolution! After many months of research, development, and testing, we are here to show you a little something we like to call the Quality of Work Life Index.
