How Winningtemp’s analytics help HR and leaders move from overview to deep insight

Change is constant. And in today’s workplace, where the pace is high and expectations continue to rise, that reality is hard to ignore. What worked well yesterday may need to evolve today. That’s why we’ve recently enhanced Winningtemp’s analytics tools – one of the most valued capabilities for understanding how employees are really feeling.

According to our Head of Product, Kristin Hallgren, temperature analysis is one of the most effective ways for HR and leaders to gain a clear view of what’s happening across teams. In this article, Kristin explains how it works and how you can use it in practice to make more informed decisions, faster.

The power of the right analytics

Many employee survey tools generate large volumes of data, but fall short when it comes to actionable insight. The real challenge isn’t collecting feedback – it’s understanding what actually requires attention and action. This is where Winningtemp’s temperature analysis stands out.

The tool has long supported organizations in identifying patterns, risks, and strengths in the employee experience. With the latest update, those insights are now easier to access, interpret, and act on.

The improvements go beyond visual updates. The focus has been on making the tool more practical for everyday use – supporting HR in guiding managers, setting priorities, and acting on the right issues at the right time.

How it supports you in everyday work

Kristin highlights that the temperature analysis delivers the most value when it’s tied to the questions HR and leaders ask on a regular basis, such as:

• “How are our new hires feeling compared to our senior employees?”

• Where are our key strengths and risks right now?

• “Which teams need our attention?”

• “How does the employee experience differ between teams, departments, or ways of working?”

By easily switching between different data perspectives, patterns and differences become clear in ways that are otherwise difficult to detect. With saved views and quick filters, it’s also easy to follow the same key questions over time – efficiently and without added manual work.

Kristin describes how organizations often uncover insights such as:

• differences between on-site and remote roles,

• generational patterns in how the work environment is experienced,

• specific groups that impact the overall picture more than expected.

This makes temperature analysis a highly practical tool for understanding not only where challenges exist, but also why they occur.

One feature customers particularly value is the ability to build a report once and reuse it on a recurring basis – ideal for leadership meetings and ongoing follow-ups. Multiple views can also be exported into a single Excel file for easy sharing.

What does this mean for HR and leaders?

For HR teams working toward a more strategic approach to employee feedback, temperature analysis becomes a central capability. It helps you:

• identify risks before they escalate,

• understand differences between groups and create more targeted actions,

• give managers better input for conversations and prioritization,

• get a quick and accurate picture of organizational health without getting lost in detail.

As Kristin explains, the goal is to simplify complex patterns and translate insight into action that creates real impact. That requires a tool that lowers the barrier to getting started while increasing the quality and relevance of the insights delivered.

Clear support for moving from insight to action

For HR and leaders, reliable analytics are essential to understanding why things happen and what steps to take next. An effective employee feedback system should do more than present data. It should highlight what matters most, explain what’s driving the results, and support clear next steps.

When analytics work this way, they become a natural part of how the organization operates – supporting strategic decisions as well as everyday conversations between managers and employees.
