Towers Watson (NYSE, NASDAQ: TW), a global professional services company, has announced the launch of an integrated employee engagement survey platform. The new platform will allow managers, HR leaders and executives to identify deeper insights from their employee survey results and take action much more quickly.

“One of the primary attributes of this enhanced platform is that it saves organizations time while engaging and empowering their managers,” said Adam Zuckerman, global practice leader, Employee Surveys, at Towers Watson. “This new powerful platform is based on years of exploring best practices with high-performing organizations and drawing on the best thinking of our consultants.”

• Smart: Automatically creates a post-survey action plan that combines individual opportunities with suggested actions from Towers Watson experts

• Integrated: Vastly simplifies post-survey work by bringing together world-class comment analysis, predictive modeling, basic descriptive statistics and action planning into a single platform
• Powerful: Removes barriers to action with a default action plan, enabling companies to create new data groups where needed and providing a highly engaging user experience for managers

“This enhanced technology helps clients reimagine how employee surveys can drive real change and improve business performance,” said Max Caldwell, managing director at Towers Watson. “It is part of our ongoing effort to equip clients with smart, integrated, easy-to-use technology solutions that have Towers Watson’s unmatched experience and HR expertise baked right in.”
