culture. However, as Synthesis grew at an exceptional rate, it was becoming difficult to keep in touch with employees at the levels that we prefer and are accustomed to. We experienced resource growth of approximately 40% over the past 12 months and expect this growth to continue due to existing and future demand trends. How would we ensure employee wellbeing, measure employee-project fit, combine multiple data points, track programmes and more at the same level of efficiency, if not higher? Fortuitously, we started asking these questions and implemented a solution prior to the onset of COVID-19.

For this reason, we built some custom integrations into various data sources,&#8221; says Morris. \u00a0Google sheets and Monday.com boards are the main sources of data for Pulse. This data is stored in a Neo4j graph database which allows relationships to be built between the different data sets. This is a great choice since this type of data is very relationship heavy. This data store enables easy querying and visualisation of the data, allowing less-technical people the ability to interact with it. \u00a0In addition to this, Pulse then has the capability to send out surveys that can be used to gather new data directly from Synthesis employees or to check the correctness of the data that has been imported. The results of these surveys are aggregated into dashboards on AWS Quicksight which enables further visibility and trend tracking.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d850500 elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d850500\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-fed9383\" data-id=\"fed9383\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c9df8fd elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c9df8fd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Result <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-69caf0b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"69caf0b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>One of the challenges within any organisation is the ability to understand employees. It has been increasingly accepted that the emotional well-being of staff is key to any successful company. We now have immediate data relating to employee wellbeing. If employees mark that they are not okay according to our rating system then they are immediately contacted by a member of the team. They are also asked how they are feeling compared to previous weeks to ensure there is a level of benchmarking. \u00a0Pulse has allowed us to gauge trends that are surfacing within our organisation. It has allowed us to pick up on any anomalies within individuals or teams, which can then be actioned through the most appropriate channel. \u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-502b05e\" data-id=\"502b05e\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a4ac913 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a4ac913\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"854\" src=\"https:\/\/www.synthesis.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/SynthesisHackathon-WebRes-256.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-6836\" alt=\"SVitality Group Sets a New Pace with Agile Contracting\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.synthesis.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/SynthesisHackathon-WebRes-256.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.synthesis.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/SynthesisHackathon-WebRes-256-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.synthesis.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/SynthesisHackathon-WebRes-256-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.synthesis.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/SynthesisHackathon-WebRes-256-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e8b89b7 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e8b89b7\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9fd1492\" data-id=\"9fd1492\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-76df883 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"76df883\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>For example, if one team is noting a lower mood then we can address it. We can also gain a deeper understanding of what drives peak performance and what impacts it. \u00a0We have used Pulse to survey everything from internal communication to company knowledge. When lockdown happened, we had the knowledge of employee wellbeing pre-COVID to compare this to wellbeing during stage 5 lockdown. This was extremely beneficial. We have also found that because Pulse is so easy to use, the employee usage rate is high. This data is then shared with employees so they are aware of how Synthesis is doing on a weekly basis. \u00a0Howard Feldman, Synthesis Head of Marketing &amp; People explains, &#8220;The onset of remote working was swift, and with it came the need to understand how our people were managing. It became vital to have a way to understand what they were struggling with and what we could do to eliminate or at least reduce the impact of working away from colleagues and friends. Pulse allowed us to not only gain insight into the emotional status of our staff but also to understand challenges.&#8221; \u00a0&#8220;An interesting example of this was that in one of the surveys we listed a number of challenges and asked our people to rate the greatest challenge. Where we expected it to be loneliness or connectivity, what we found was that the difficulty was getting people to disconnect from work. As one person put it &#8216;I no longer work from home, I now live at work.&#8217; This allowed us to address the issue, encourage people to take time off and to provide them with ideas as to how to achieve this. Without Pulse we would not have been aware of this.&#8221; \u00a0With just minimal data so far, we can: \u00a0 \u00a0Identify issues on projects early and prevent employees from having to work overtime. \u00a0 Know how information affects employees and we can create awareness on how to relay certain information and implement change management where needed. \u00a0 We can reach out to individuals often to make sure they are okay and see if there is anything that Synthesis can help them with. \u00a0 Track the health of a project team, as well as gain insights into the quality that is being delivered to our customers. \u00a0The Future \u00a0With the global trend moving towards a combination of remote and office working, with a future focus on workplace fulfillment; Pulse offers a unique, authentic and immediate insight into the wellbeing and status of employees. With organisations such as hotels, clubs and educational intuitions needing to understand trends and concerns, we see Pulse as a natural indicator of these elements. \u00a0Pulse is currently being offered to clients through beta testing where it is being custom designed for their organisation. \u00a0Use Pulse to detect the heartbeat of your organisation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section
