Glassdoor is a platform that allows people to find a job and company they love. This is enabled through our core value of transparency. The two key ways we understand employee sentiment are through our own Glassdoor reviews and our Pulse data.
Our Glassdoor profile is open and available for all to see. In support of being as transparent as possible, we’ve taken another step forward and shared our own internal Pulse survey results, externally. Taking a job or making a career move is one of the biggest decisions people make in their lives. We believe that sharing more about Glassdoor and specific team’s current feedback, will help prospective candidates decide whether Glassdoor is a place they will love to work. That’s our mission…we want to help everyone find a job and company they love, including here at Glassdoor.
Just as we did last quarter, we are publishing key highlights and the full report of our quarterly Pulse survey, including the quantitative metrics and the comments that meet our publishing guidelines.
Quarterly Pulse Survey Highlights, Nov. 2020
Below are some of the key takeaways from the quarterly Pulse survey conducted in November 2020.
- eSat: Employee satisfaction remains flat since the Q2 Pulse survey and continues to be an area of opportunity.
- Flexible working: Employees feel favorably about Glassdoor’s flexible remote working policy.
- Managers: Most employees feel they can approach their manager about a mistake and that their manager creates an inclusive work environment.
- Strategy clarity & role clarity: Though both up 5 points, there is room for improvement in helping employees understand the day-to-day transition and long-term implications of our GTM transition and unfolding partnership with Indeed.
- Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging: While Diversity and Inclusion scores increased slightly, and employee perception of leadership commitment increased due to Glassdoor’s new D&I initiatives, we still have much work to do to cultivate a sense of belonging where everyone feels represented and treated equitably.
