After the pandemic, many companies are re-adjusting the home-office planning. An anonymous online voting is the perfect way to receive your team’s true opinion regarding different options, free from pressure of colleagues.

Employment contracts

In 2021 an international fashion company let their employees vote about the 4-day working week. The new solution for the central offices included a small salary reduction shared between employer and employee. It was approved by 86% with a participation of 98%.
