Arca achieved:
- Increase the participation rate and maintain it at 95% and in 2023 it went from 95% to 98%.
- The quality of the data obtained allowed the leaders to increase by 32% the initiatives for their action plans in their teams.
- Life cycle measurement of the entire company centralized and parameterized through Qualtrics.
The challenge
Arca, a well-known company, was looking for a solution that would allow them to efficiently measure the work climate in their various businesses and present the results in an articulate and detailed manner. They had experienced difficulties with their previous supplier, where a lack of contact with consultants meant that many of their requests were not completed satisfactorily.
The solution
In collaboration with Vocé and with the support of the Qualtrics platform, Arca implemented a comprehensive work climate measurement program. Three climate surveys were launched in 2021, 2022 and 2023, also migrating three years of historical results from the previous provider. In addition, multiple measurement pulses were implemented both for leaders and for events or initiatives related to organizational culture.
A successful integration with the human resources information system enabled the implementation of employee lifecycle metrics, including metrics for the onboarding process at 7 and 30 days. This integration facilitated the generation of valuable insights into the employee experience at different stages of their work cycle.
Results obtained
Thanks to these initiatives, Arca has achieved:
- Participation rates above 95% in all its climate surveys, demonstrating a high degree of employee engagement.
- A significant increase in the involvement of leaders in the creation of action plans, surpassing the number of plans generated in the previous tool and improving the compliance rate.
- A better understanding of the needs and expectations of new employees, allowing Arca to implement specific actions to improve their experience from the beginning of their employment.
