Employee Retention Tool

How Can An Anonymous Suggestion Box Help Boost Employee Retention?

Employees are expensive to recruit and often more expensive to retain. Many organizations find it more efficient to retain their best employees than recruit and train a replacement. According to SHRM, the average cost-per-hire is $4,129. One study found the cost of re-hiring a midrange position ($30-$50K per year) to be 20% of the employee’s future salary.

Employees leave for a variety of reasons. Among the most common are:

• They found a better opportunity (more pay, better hours, more seniority)
• They are dissatisfied with co-workers, management, or the work environment
• They are experiencing personal issues

Communicating with your employees is the first step in retaining them. While some may candidly share their views during a face-to-face conversation, we believe that anonymity is better for sensitive issues. This is especially true if the employee fears retaliation or being ostracized.

While there may be nothing you can do to retain an employee experiencing personal issues, employees can use an anonymous feedback tool to disclose workplace issues or tell you why they are dissatisfied in general.

Incogneato lets you securely collect anonymous feedback from your employees and then have an anonymous conversation with them. All accounts come with a free 14-day trial with no credit card required.

Privacy and Security

At Incogneato, we take anonymity seriously. To prove it, we've taken some big steps to safeguard your employees' identities:

• We use 256-bit TLS encryption for all communication within Incogneato. That means only our server can understand what's being discussed. Anyone who tries to intercept information will simply see unreadable data.
• We encrypt respondents' email addresses (if they choose to include one). In the unlikely event that our database is broken into, your respondent's email address will be unreadable.
• Other than an encrypted email address (if they choose to include one), we do not retain any personal identifying information of those submitting a response.
• We have continuous threat monitoring in place and always keep our server software up to date.
