The PEARL™ Engagement Model

New and improved with the most up to date thinking

Introduction

How do we measure employee engagement?

We use PEARL™ to assess all elements of the employee experience and provide a robust, well-benchmarked engagement score.
PEARL™ is the result of an extensive study by our team of psychologists and data scientists who reviewed the latest literature, carried out client research and studied over 20 million data points.

Take a look at our whitepaper for the full PEARL™ study or let our infographic give you an overview.

Wellbeing and Resilience

Our employee surveys can be enhanced with additional wellbeing measures such as burnout, stress, and general mental/physical health. This can highlight areas of risk for sickness absence, turnover, and performance issues.

Furthermore, we offer a combination of resilience assessments and training workshops, to help employees understand their levels of resilience and give them techniques to boost it, reducing risks of burnout and other stress-related issues.
