About Us
Quokka is the next generation employee engagement solution. Our platform uses a novel scientific and data driven approach to quantify employee behaviour and engagement in order to generate insights and recommendations that help companies drive cultural and organizational changes.
Abstract
In the upcoming decade, millennials and GenZ are going to represent > 60% of the global workforce with 48% of them entering the managerial level. Organizations today face a paradigm shift and need to adapt to the characteristics of these digital natives who value a set of engagement drivers that include: praise and recognition, flexibility, transparency, autonomy, freedom of opinions, meaningful works and so on.
Many of the traditional organizations and companies today face increasing challenges in perceiving these values and struggle to build a culture that incorporates these values into their talent development pipeline. More specifically, they feel that they lack a scientific and technological approach to address these challenges in an objective and unbiased manner. Our value proposition is to build a software platform for employees using methods of behaviour science, mathematical modelings and data mining techniques to help them address these gaps.
