Rison Software’s VirtIX 360° Platform Is Now on Microsoft Appsource
Analyst Take: The cloud-based employee engagement platform, VirtIX 360° is now available on the Microsoft Appsource platform. Created by Rison Software, VirtIX 360°is an all-in-one management platform that can help support people analytics, performance, and wellbeing.
The VirtlX 360° Employee Engagement platform helps companies collect employee performance and wellbeing data in addition to customer sentiment. Being able to tie all these elements together can help find friction points that need to be addressed and can also help organizations identify areas to create tailored online training to lift capabilities.
Specific tools that are included are:
- Pulse, 360˚, and peer reviews
- Line manager upward feedback reviews
- Employee appraisals
- Employee satisfaction, engagement, and wellbeing
- Bespoke, company-authored training
- Customer feedback on service and products
- AuthorZone for rapid creation of surveys and training material
- Onboard Communicator utilising WhatsApp, SMS, and email
The VirtIX solution is an interesting one as it brings together CX, EX, and training. It is an all-in-one system that has a user-friendly distribution and reporting interface, as well as the ability to import employee information. This helps to measure and understand employee sentiment and monitor their training progress.
In a previous The Futurum Group interview with Richard Chalk, Managing Director of Rison Software, Chalk talked through the benefits.
“Proper experience is really reliant on a continual improvement framework. Evaluating employee and customer sentiment, you can drill down into areas of unhappiness or friction. For employees, sometimes they are unhappy and it’s because they really haven’t had the right training. If an employee can’t answer questions because they don’t have the right knowledge and then doesn’t perform well in their job, it’s simply a bad feeling. And could result in poor CX. Keeping employees fully trained in a company’s services and products, as well as best practice, compliance, and personal development, allows your company to present the best trained people to your clients. Our solution helps address all three pieces to this puzzle,” said Chalk.
Rison Software has worked with companies across the globe, most recently with Nissan Academy.
