Peoplelytics Equality Scholarship: Details and Opportunities

Peoplelytics is offering a $250 scholarship to students pursuing higher education at a United States-based college, university, or trade school. The scholarship has no restrictions on citizenship, background, course of study, or the school the student is attending. There are no essay or GPA requirements, making it a truly equal opportunity scholarship for anyone seeking financial aid for their education.

Addressing the Need for Financial Aid

According to EducationData.org, the interest rate as of January 19, 2024, for federal student loans for new undergraduate students is 4.99%, while private student loan interest rates can range from 4% up to 15%. This highlights a continued need for scholarships, grants, and awards to help students afford the costs of higher education today without burdening them for years or decades to come. Matt Koulas, Peoplelytics’ Founder and CEO, stated, “As someone who received multiple scholarships while attending a private college, I know firsthand how scholarships can help ease financial burdens and enable an easier transition into adulthood.”

A Commitment to Equal Opportunity

Peoplelytics may not be offering the biggest award or the greatest number of awards, but in a world that is increasingly divisive, they offer a scholarship which is truly an equal opportunity to anyone who is seeking financial assistance, regardless of their background or story, in a way that aligns with their company mission to improve the working environments of everyone.

Understanding eNPS and Culture Surveys

To understand Peoplelytics' mission and its connection to the scholarship, it is helpful to understand the company's core offerings: eNPS and culture surveys.

eNPS Surveys: Gauging Employee Satisfaction

Your eNPS survey results will tell you the overall “net promoter score” of your employees. This is a signal of internal support, culture, and employee satisfaction at a high level. The scores range from -100 to 100. The calculation to reach this number is (% of promoters) minus (% of detractors). Promoters are any employees who rate you 9 or 10. Detractors are employees who rate you 0 - 6.

Running an eNPS survey will give you feedback over time on your employees’ perception of your company culture and how satisfied they are working there. Most companies run eNPS surveys on a monthly or quarterly basis. There is 1 primary eNPS survey. It asks employees to rate the company on a scale of 1-10.

When creating or editing an eNPS survey, on the first screen you can directly edit the wording for the question fields. When creating an eNPS or culture survey within the Surveys section, on the final screen of the survey builder you will be able to select the day, and a time (in 30 minute increments) to schedule your survey to send. You will also be able to select whether the survey is scheduled to send again every 1, 3, or 6 months. When building either an eNPS or culture survey, you will reach a screen in the process where you can select specific employees to include, or you can filter and select entire departments, entire locations, individuals from departments, individuals from departments, or, all current employees. You can also select a button which is disabled by default to always send your survey to all of your employees. When you are building either an eNPS or culture survey, the second to last screen of the builder allows you to review all the settings for your survey, and has 4 buttons at the bottom of this screen (back, preview survey, send test survey, next).

In our eNPS surveys we have built one additional question which is can be enabled (it is disabled by default) and shown on the survey. It asks employees to rate up to 7 categories you can define for them to rate their sentiment around. When building the eNPS survey, on the first screen, there will be a on/off toggle button on the right side, towards the bottom of the survey where this third question is listed. Enabling this button will display the question in your surveys.

Culture Surveys: Deepening Insights into Workplace Environment

Culture surveys will give you more specific feedback and insight into specific aspects of company culture and workplace environment as well as employee engagement. A culture survey is a specific survey about company culture.

When you are in your dashboard, if you click on the Surveys link in the left hand navigation, and then select the sub link “Culture Surveys” you will see the culture survey management page. On this page you will have a blue button in the top right corner of the page where you can Create a Survey. Clicking this button will enter you into the culture survey builder. You will then be prompted to select one of three categories of surveys. After making a survey selection, you will see premade surveys which you can select from. You are unable to edit the questions. We offer three primary categories of culture surveys which have a variety of actual surveys within them.

Accessing and Utilizing Survey Data

When you log into your dashboard, in the left hand navigation you will see a link for Reports. If you click on this, the default view is for the eNPS report history page. This will show you the history of all eNPS surveys you have sent, listed in order of most recent to first sent. Clicking into the “View Results” link on any of these will allow you to see the results of that specific survey. Yes, at the bottom of specific eNPS report pages, you can export data around Question 3 with all ratings and scores attached. You may also use the Export button in the top right of all report pages to create a shareable URL link that keeps any filter you have in place, locked, on the shared report page.

When you log into your dashboard, in the left hand navigation you can click on Reports. Selecting the sub link titled Culture Surveys will bring you to the culture survey management page with the history of all culture surveys you have sent. Clicking on “View Results” for any of these will bring you to the results of that survey. Yes, at the bottom of Culture survey report pages, you can export data around the written feedback with all ratings and scores attached. You may also use the Export button in the top right of all report pages to create a shareable URL link that keeps any filter you have in place, locked, on the shared report page.

To see overall employee engagement statistics and the overall engagement with your surveys over time, you can navigate to the Reports > Engagement section from the left hand navigation menu. From this screen you will see overall statistics for all of your campaigns.

Data Privacy and Anonymity

Peoplelytics delivers a nearly anonymous survey experience for employees. Employee information is shielded from employers, and only if there are 5 or more responses for any segment of the company will full data be made available to the customer (employer). The only limits we impose on viewing data in your reports is a 5 employee response minimum. You need to have completed surveys from at least 5 employees for specific data to show and for exports to be made available. This is particularly in place to help shield employees in specific departments or locations from being made too individually identifiable with small numbers of answers or from small groups/departments. We do not provide information related to responses that connects any individual employee to their answers (unless they specifically state information in their written responses). We do not use the same patterns for specific employees for survey URLs or data capture. Survey links are static to specific employees on each survey for us to track results properly, however they are always randomized.

Managing Your Peoplelytics Account

Peoplelytics provides tools to manage your account and employee data effectively.

Adding and Editing Employees

When you log into your dashboard, in the left hand navigation menu you should select “Employees”. From there you would select “Add Manually”. To add an employee you need to be under your employee limit. To add multiple employees at one time, you should navigate in the left hand navigation menu to Employees and then selecting “Upload a List”. On this screen you will see instructions to help guide you through the bulk upload process. First, you’ll need to download our CSV template to ensure you upload employees in the correct format. Once you update this file with the list of employees, you can then use the “upload employee list” button on this page. Our system will check for duplicate entries in your list, then check for duplicate entries already uploaded to the system. Once we complete the validation of the list we will alert you to any issues we’ve found and allow you to confirm the number of employees to be added to your list. For larger lists, this may take a couple of minutes.

To edit an employees data that you have already added to the system, please use the left hand navigation menu and go to Employees. The default screen when you select Employees will bring you to the employee management page. On this page you can filter or search for a specific employee. When you have found the correct employee, click the edit button (pencil) on the right side of the screen. You will get a popup with the employee’s details shown. Make the changes you require. Click “save changes” when you are confident with your changes. The changes will be applied immediately.

Deleting Employees

To delete an employee, use the left hand navigation menu in your dashboard to go to the Employees page. The default view here is the list of all of your employees. You can search for or filter to find the employee you need to remove. If you click the edit (pencil) icon on the right side of the screen in line with their name, you will get a popup with their information. You will see a red “Delete” button on this popup. Clicking this will remove the employee immediately from your list. Yes, you can. When you are on the View/Edit Employee page you can select a group of employees, which will display a blue button in the top right corner of this screen which will allow you to delete the selected employees. You will be prompted if you want to continue and delete them or not. If you select delete they will be removed from your employee list immediately.

The only limitation on how many employees you can upload at once is based on your subscription. We will not allow more employees to be uploaded than your plan allows. If you have a plan allowing 50 employees, and upload a list with 60 employees, we will try and add employees from the top of the list to the bottom and then 10 employees at the bottom of the list will not be added.

Account Customization and Management

You may customize your account by navigating to the Account page from the left hand navigation menu. You can upload a company logo to use which will appear in the header of your survey landing pages by navigating via the left hand menu to the Account page. On this page you will see a section to upload an image. If you navigate to the Account page in your dashboard, you will have a Timezone selector where you can manage the timezone used to select when your surveys will send to employees. You can change your customer password in 2 ways. The first, is within your Account page inside the Peoplelytics application. The other option, is from the login page. We’ll need to verify information with you to complete this request. If you need to make a change to your account’s plan, you should navigate to the Billing page within the product dashboard. On that page you will see the option to upgrade/downgrade your plan listed under your current plans information. You can select from any of our current available plans and changes will take place immediately. In the case of upgrades, your change will process right away and you will be billed for any difference in price due. You may cancel a plan from the Billing page within the product dashboard. Under your current plan area you can cancel your subscription at any time. You will retain access per your subscription until it runs out at which time your surveys will stop running and your account will become inactive. You can view invoices and paid bills by navigating to the Billing page within the product dashboard.
