It’s commonly agreed that engaged employees go above and beyond. They are a key ingredient to business success. But how do you move the dial, particularly if you’ve been doing this for years?
The yearly surveys provide a view as to how things are tracking and areas to focus on, but what do you do for the 11 months in between? And would you like to know some lead indicators so you could get ahead of issues before they arise?
At Pioneera, we set out to solve that challenge and design a way to help teams in real-time.
We sought to augment the yearly surveys with data and take pressure off managers to roll out yet “another action plan”. We built a platform to empower employees and managers with real-time data and nudges to help themselves and their colleagues. And it’s working!
“Our usage of Pioneera is ultimately reflected in my team’s 93% employee engagement score, which is much higher than our company average and up 10% from last year”

Alicia Aitken, Head of Investment Management and Delivery Office, ANZ, has been using Pioneera’s Indie to improve their teams’ mental wellness and engagement over the last year.
“Our usage of Pioneera is ultimately reflected in my team’s 93% employee engagement score, which is much higher than our company average and up 10% from last year” says Alicia.
“I have a very highly-engaged and connected team - which is amazing, given the uncertainty and disruption we’ve all experienced in the last year. There are two critical elements to our success: using technology and appointing a dedicated person to focus on our team’s well-being. Sam Todero, IMDO Planning and Governance Manager, runs our program because of her demonstrated passion for people and wellness.” says Alicia.

Sam Todero says, “Pioneera feels like an extension of our team. The integration of Pioneera at a micro level has been a true amplifier for the things we really need to listen to. As we get more used to the richness of the data, the more quickly we’re springing into action.
“Now I don’t pause. I know the team and I trust the data. We followed Pioneera tips and also ran sessions on meditation, mindfulness, being healthy in lockdown and other areas.”
“It’s made me faster to act as a leader on wellness intervention – especially for remote working and cultural nuances. If you’re not physically seeing colleagues to gauge expressions and body language, then the data can help you understand and action it.” says Alicia.

“Pioneera is a critical tool in my leadership kit along with Sam. It enables me as a manager to see issues and address before they become a problem. When you can’t see people everyday, things can get missed quite easily. Every workplace and team can benefit from Pioneera and a champion like Sam.”
