A social software solution for two-way dialogue.
How do you inform and engage employees online? The same way you do offline. Conversation fuels participation. The Poll and QuizPoll are unique in their ability to let you ask a series of online questions that unfold like true dialogue. They help you communicate through quick, continuous exchanges.
The Poll. Find out what your audience is thinking. Polls are effective because they tap into people’s fundamental desire to declare their opinions, and to see how they compare to others.
QuizPoll. Introduce a new product or company policy through a series of questions with right and wrong answers. Whatever your message, QuizPoll is a compelling way to educate, as most people can’t resist the challenge of an online quiz.
The inspiration behind The Poll and QuizPoll is the give and take of authentic conversation. It’s what makes them a different, and better, way to interact with employees.

Case Study: Multi-Language Employee Engagement
Baker Hughes is one of the world’s largest oilfield services companies. The company’s success depends upon maintaining a diverse, qualified, and highly engaged workforce.
Challenge
How do you engage a workforce of over 33,000 employees spread across 90 countries, speaking eight distinct languages?
Rapid growth, with as many as 5,500 new employees in a single year, created a need for a solution to effectively inform and educate employees. In particular, there was a growing knowledge gap about the generous Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) program and its benefits.
Baker Hughes needed a compelling solution to:
- Connect with their global workforce
- Increase annual enrollment in their ESPP program
“We have a fantastic stock purchase program that provides annual returns of up to 50%, which is unheard of anywhere. But over the years enrollment had grown stagnant. We were finding that employees didn’t know about the program or just couldn’t find the time to learn about the benefits.”
Ila Owers, Senior Compensation Specialist at Baker Hughes
Solution
Baker Hughes leveraged TemboSocial’s interactive and community building solutions to engage, educate and inform employees. Using The Poll, their enrollments team launched a campaign – within a tight three week window – designed to simultaneously increase ESPP enrollment and gain a better understanding of employee attitudes toward the plan.
As the cornerstone of a multi-channel communications campaign, 33,515 employees were sent an interactive poll via email. To satisfy the unique language requirements of their global workforce Baker Hughes utilized TemboSocial’s Multi-Language Module and emailed the poll in eight languages.
Results
By creating an engaging and interactive two-way dialogue, Baker Hughes’ HR Communications team quickly transformed the ESPP campaign into a relevant and rewarding exchange that drove employee action. The results were phenomenal. After little to no growth in recent years the ESPP enrollment experienced:
- 28% global enrollment increase (2,200 new participants)
- 690 current program participants elected to increase their contributions
Download the Case Study“The TemboSocial tool played a large part in these results. We know that our US enrollment went up significantly and the only thing we did differently from previous campaigns was to use it.”
“TemboSocial’s software was certainly the most engaging piece in our overall communications program. Interactive and relevant – it really got peoples’ attention.”
Ila Owers, Senior Compensation Specialist at Baker Hughes
