Organisational outcomes from using our supplemental categories

Category background

In the spring of 2017 Winningtemp undertook the work to identify the factors that most strongly predict two outcome variables: employee turnover and sickness absence. With the help of P.h.D and researcher Leif Denti, an extensive search of the research literature was carried out to find studies that provide support for the predictive ability of certain factors. This laid the foundation for the 9 standard categories that have been and continue to be measured by thousands of our customers.  

Subsequently, we have continued to follow the same methodology of studying the science behind effective organisations and applied the research findings to develop our supplemental categories. Besides predicting employee turnover and sickness absence, we have also focused on the predictive abilities of certain factors on organisational outcomes such as higher performance, innovation, employee well-being, employer branding, to name a few.

The 8 outcomes from our supplemental categories are:
