Why was it created?

Our clients were starting to see a disconnected workforce and a cumbersome annual feedback review cycle. There was poor connection between management and team members. This was particularly apparent in global teams that were not co-located.

With slow and underdeveloped feedback, entire workforces were unable to get the proper reviews, opportunities and feedback they needed to develop. Our client saw a growing attrition risk and an opportunity to be market leaders within the industry.

27listen was created to revolutionise the way companies communicate, develop and review its people.

Problem solved

27listen provides a responsive feedback mechanism and channel to connect a global workforce. This mobile app can be used at any time and makes suggestions of colleagues to review based on recent meeting attendees. 27listen increased engagement and personal development across the workforce.

Managers were able to connect with their team and learn more about their aspirations, strengths, interest areas by viewing their profile page. Each individual has a profile with up to 10 information fields that is integrated with external platforms including LinkedIn, Twitter and Yammer.

The 'Activity Feed' can be used to overcome issues of inefficient email services and resistant employees.
