EMBER™ is changing the landscape for how brands are measuring employee performance. The team has discovered the 6 vital signs that are key for organizational health. It has been recognized as the most thorough and reliable employee performance measurement system available, meeting academic doctoral standards, peer and industry review, and US Federal Government Institutional Review Board (IRB) protocols. This achievement is the result of nearly a decade of scientific research and a multi-year external audit conducted by third-party evaluators.
EMBER™ introduces a superior metric in comparison to engagement. It is based on a new, patent-pending system, proven to be more predictive than engagement-based surveys. It shows the direct outcome and impact on employee collaboration, work and attitudes to market performance.
The 6 vital signs that encompass the metric systems for organizational health are proprietary and can only be accessed through this platform. There is nothing else like it in existence, and it is revolutionizing the landscape of HR and employee engagement measurement for the better.
Unlike employee engagement and HR surveys to date, which are often unstandardized and not tested to the highest standards, EMBER™ has met and surpassed these benchmarks, being the first standardized system of its kind.
EMBER™ is the only measurement system that cohesively spans HR, Marketing, Brand, and Business/ Market Performance, demonstrating interlocking, statistically significant, interactions across all facets. This means, we are the first to show main interactions using our vital signs, at scale, across all components of a company - from the INSIDE-OUT. That's right, this has never been done before.
EMBER™ has been validated over the years, across 25 industries, using our deep repository of data from numerous global companies.
