Feedback is the gift that keeps giving. This article will cover how to identify frontline influencers (similar to Blink Champions) as well as how to gather detailed feedback on the tools they use regularly, what's missing, what can be improved, and what does/doesn't work for them.
In this article:
Identifying influencers
To get the most valuable feedback, we recommend focusing on users who are actively engaged in the Blink app in the chats, feed, hub, or all three. With that in mind, it can also be extremely enlightening to include users that either previously were actively engaged but aren't anymore or who have been resistant to using Blink to best identify what maybe negatively impacting their experience.
💡 Helpful Hint Not sure who your influencers are? It may be a good idea to start by looking at your Blink Champions or users who could become Blink Champions. |
Suggested questions
Once you've identified your group, consider how you'd like to gather feedback. While we encourage having a live conversation or conference call, some organizations may see greater benefit from a survey sent to their desired users. The following questions are a good starting point for admins to keep in mind when collecting the feedback from users:
Talk me through the typical day of one of your frontline workers
How do they sign-in at the beginning of the day? Do they need to check-in?
Who do they need to speak to? Their Manager? Colleagues?
Do all of your employees have their own personal devices?
Although we've included some suggested questions to include below based on your audience, we strongly encourage you to add or remove questions as needed to ensure you get the most useful feedback for your specific organization.
