Mattering Survey
Insights for Employee Engagement and Retention
What is Mattering?
Mattering is the profound sense that our presence and contributions are valued, recognized, and make a difference to those around us. It's the belief that we are significant, appreciated, and an integral part of our organization's success.
When employees feel their contributions are valued and significant, they are more engaged, satisfied, and committed to their work. Our Mattering Survey provides a powerful tool to assess and improve the employee experience in your organization.

Why Mattering Matters
Mattering is more than just a feel-good concept – it's a strategic imperative for organizations seeking to build a thriving, engaged workforce.
Boost Engagement
When employees feel their contributions matter and are valued, they are more engaged in their work. High engagement leads to increased productivity, creativity, and commitment to your organization's goals.
Enhance Job Satisfaction
Employees who feel they matter to their colleagues and the company have higher job satisfaction. They find their work more meaningful and fulfilling, leading to a more positive work experience.
Improve Retention
When employees feel their contributions are significant and appreciated, they are more likely to stay with your organization long-term. This reduces turnover costs associated with recruiting, hiring, and training new employees.
Foster Collaboration and teamwork
When employees feel they matter to their coworkers, they are more likely to collaborate effectively, share ideas, and support one another. This creates a positive team environment and enhances overall performance.
Promote Psychological Safety
Mattering contributes to a sense of psychological safety, where employees feel comfortable expressing their opinions and taking risks. This is essential for innovation and continuous improvement.
Strengthen Employer Branding
Companies known for making employees feel valued and significant have a strong employer brand. This helps attract top talent and positions your organization as an employer of choice.
Drive Business Outcomes
Ultimately, high levels of mattering contribute to better business outcomes. Engaged, satisfied employees who feel their contributions matter are more likely to go above and beyond, leading to increased productivity, customer satisfaction, and profitability.
