By creating a space where employees feel comfortable expressing their thoughts, Wungening is able to cultivate a psychologically safe workplace, a key factor in maintaining staff wellbeing and engagement. The data gathered from these check ins allows leadership to track and monitor trends over time, providing valuable insights into workplace morale and areas of concern.
