Your Say: A Smarter Way to Listen to Employees
When we talk about employee feedback, it’s easy to jump straight to technology. And in this case, yes, we are talking about technology—but not in the way you might think. Traditional employee surveys push out questions at scheduled intervals—annual surveys, pulse surveys, lifecycle surveys. Organisations then collect and analyse the responses, with the goal of making work a better place for everyone.
But there’s a catch: Is the person answering the survey in the right moment to give meaningful feedback?
Push vs. Pull: Rethinking Feedback Timing
Most surveys operate on a push model—the organisation decides when and what to ask. But employees don’t experience work challenges on a schedule. That’s where an always-on approach flips the dynamic, allowing employees to give feedback when it matters most to them. This pull model ensures insights are gathered in the moment, making them richer and more relevant.
A Human-Centred Approach to Tech-Enabled Feedback
One criticism of technology in the workplace is that it can replace the human voice. But that’s not what PX Your Say is about. It’s about complementing traditional feedback channels—focus groups, one-on-ones, line management conversations—by offering an alternative when employees might not feel comfortable speaking up directly.
For some, writing down their thoughts is easier than voicing them out loud, especially in environments where they may feel nervous or unsure of how to articulate concerns. Technology can act as a neutral third-party solution, giving people the space to be honest without fear of judgment.
The Power of Anonymity and Confidentiality
Psychological safety is critical in any workplace. Your Say provides an anonymous way for employees to raise concerns without the worry of being identified. While we all want to create environments where people feel safe to speak up openly, the reality is that anonymity can empower voices that might otherwise stay silent.
For leaders and managers, this means access to richer qualitative data—insights that go beyond a simple 1-to-5 rating scale. Traditional surveys provide quantitative data that is excellent for trends and predictive analytics, but they often lack the human context. Your Say delivers both: structured data for analysis and human-driven insights in real time.
More Than Just Another Survey Channel
Employees shouldn’t have to wait for the next survey cycle to share something important. Your Say gives them the ability to raise issues or share ideas when it’s relevant—right after an experience, when the details are fresh.
To ensure a respectful and constructive feedback environment, we’ve built in safeguards like profanity filters to remove inappropriate language. While any organisation taking this approach must consider moderation and risk management, the benefits far outweigh the challenges.
The Future of Employee Listening
Your Say isn’t about replacing existing feedback methods—it’s about enhancing them. It gives employees more control over when and how they share insights while providing leaders with timely, actionable data. And most importantly, it reinforces a culture of continuous listening, ensuring that employee voices are heard when they need to be, not just when it’s convenient for the organisation.
Because feedback shouldn’t be about ticking a box. It should be about making work better. Always.
