The challenge

Cogent, a distributed software consultancy with staff frequently working on-site at client locations, had limited visibility into employee sentiment and unclear strategic priorities. Leadership wanted a clearer basis for deciding where to focus improvement efforts.

The solution

Cogent adopted Culture Amp's Engage platform to collect and analyze employee feedback on a regular cadence, using survey results to identify focus areas such as leadership communication.

The company was in a really good shape when I arrived, but I felt it could be better. I just didn't know what to focus on. Implementing Culture Amp gave me the information to work out how we could improve ourselves, both as an employer brand but also as a customer brand.
