Employee Feedback Software
Discover how our employee feedback software revolutionizes internal communication, boosts performance, and creates a stronger corporate culture.
Measuring Employee Engagement with Feedback Software
Employee engagement cannot be decreed; it must be measured and cultivated. Feedback software transforms this aspiration into concrete, actionable data.
Why Measure Engagement?
Employee engagement directly impacts company performance. Without precise measurement, HR teams navigate blindly, unable to identify early warning signs of disengagement or the specific motivation drivers for each team. By encouraging a feedback culture, HR teams ensure an employee experience closely aligned with their talent’s needs.

Key Indicators to Track
Sense of Belonging
Do employees feel aligned with the company’s mission and values?
Recognition at Work
Is the work accomplished valued regularly and sincerely?
Development Opportunities
Do employees perceive prospects for advancement?
Quality of Management
Does the relationship with the manager foster professional fulfillment?
Work-Life Balance
Does the work organization respect team wellbeing?
Measurement Frequency: A Determining Factor
Unlike traditional annual surveys, modern feedback software prioritizes:
- Regular pulse surveys: short questionnaires (2-5 minutes) sent monthly or quarterly
- Key moments in the employee journey: onboarding, end of probation period, position change, departure
- Continuous feedback: ability for employees to express themselves at any time
This real-time approach enables rapid identification of emerging issues and action before they escalate.
The Stakes of Employee Feedback for a Company
Employee feedback is no longer a “nice to have” but a strategic imperative in a context of talent wars and evolving workplace expectations.
Challenge #1: Reduce Turnover and Its Hidden Costs
The cost of a departure can represent between 6 and 9 months of salary (recruitment, training, productivity loss).
An effective feedback system enables:
- Retention of critical talent for the company
- Detection of disengagement signals before departure
- Understanding the real reasons for resignations Implementation of targeted corrective actions
Challenge #2: Create a Culture of Continuous Improvement
Learning organizations are distinguished by their ability to listen and adapt. Feedback structures this approach by:
- Giving voice to all hierarchical levels
- Identifying daily operational pain points
- Valuing initiatives and improvement proposals
- Creating a virtuous cycle of participatory innovation
Challenge #3: Strengthen Employer Brand
In a competitive market, employer brand becomes a major differentiator. Companies that listen to their employees:
- Generate authentic ambassadors
- Obtain better ratings on recruitment platforms
- More easily attract the best profiles
- Reduce their talent acquisition costs
Challenge #4: Develop Collective Intelligence
Feedback surfaces a wealth of often untapped field information:
- Process dysfunctions seen by those who experience them
- Best practices to disseminate throughout the organization
- Product or service innovation ideas
- Customer insights captured daily

Any questions ?
What Is Employee Feedback Software?
Employee feedback software is a digital platform that facilitates the collection, analysis, and action on employee experience feedback within an organization.
What Are the Best Tools for Measuring Employee Experience?
The best tools depend on your needs. All-in-one platforms cover the entire employee lifecycle but are expensive and complex. Feedback specialists like ZestMeUp offer business expertise, customizable pulse surveys, AI analysis of verbatims, and action management with rapid ROI. Peer-to-peer recognition tools foster positive culture through kudos and simplified 360° feedback. ZestMeUp stands out for its ultra-fast deployment, actionable insights, and expert support, ideal for effectively measuring and improving engagement.
What Is the Difference Between Feedback and 360 Evaluation?
Feedback is continuous, informal, and targeted information on a specific situation, behavior, or project. It aims for immediate improvement and can be given at any time by anyone. 360° evaluation is a formal and structured process, generally annual or semi-annual, where an employee receives feedback from multiple sources (manager, peers, subordinates, clients) on predefined competencies. It serves for overall performance evaluation and long-term development. Feedback fuels daily operations; 360° structures periodic evaluation.
What Is the Difference Between 360° Feedback and 180° Feedback?
360° feedback collects feedback from all stakeholders around an employee: their manager (N+1), peers at the same hierarchical level, subordinates (N-1), and sometimes external clients or partners. It offers a complete 360-degree view. 180° feedback is more limited: it only collects feedback from the manager and peers, excluding subordinates. 180° is often used for employees without managerial responsibilities or as a first, less intimidating approach to multi-source feedback before evolving to 360°.
Is Feedback via ZestMeUp Software Anonymous?
Yes, ZestMeUp guarantees anonymity of responses according to your settings. Employees choose for each campaign whether feedback is anonymous, confidential (visible only to HR), or nominative. For engagement surveys and pulse surveys, anonymity is recommended and activated by default to encourage open communication. For managerial or 360° feedback, you can opt for confidentiality or transparency according to your culture. ZestMeUp also allows managers to communicate with employees while maintaining anonymity.
Are Feedback Software GDPR Compliant?
Professional feedback software like ZestMeUp is designed to be GDPR compliant. This includes: data hosting in France, encryption of data in transit and at rest, right of access and deletion of personal data, transparency on the use of collected data, limited and justified retention period, and explicit user consent. Always verify that your provider has adequate certifications, signs a DPA (Data Processing Agreement), and conducts regular security audits. ZestMeUp is ISO 27001 certified and hosted by certified providers.
