Discover the power of using data to drive increased productivity...
In this article, we’ll outline the power of using data as a key performance motivator; and how to ensure sharing it doesn’t involve unnecessary effort.
A Senior Advisor to Microsoft’s CEO was recently quoted as saying ‘Data is quickly becoming the new raw material of business.’ But why is this? It’s pretty simple: highly motivated employees build highly successful companies. And data is the key to that motivation.
Clever, targeted data sharing improves and builds psychological ownership.
In
layman’s terms, performance metrics (such as information about deadlines, sprint goal progress, sales or budget goals) create a strong sense
of ownership and belonging, including:
It’s worth noting that successfully sharing company data relies on both transparency and efficiency. In other words, it’s key that your team has access to data that will both motivate them and positively influence how they do their job; without creating unnecessary messaging clutter or noise. The sales department doesn’t necessarily need to see the rate at which products leave the conveyor belt, and vice versa.
When it comes to deciding what to share, make sure you consider these parameters:
Data should align and motivate your team by bringing them on the company’s journey.
For example... Remind
them how the data relates to your company’s vision and purpose!
Data should set performance expectations.
For example... what’s the baseline
OOE that the current team on shift can compare their performance to?
To be truly meaningful, data should be shared as close to ‘real-time’ as possible
Key metrics should be presented in a meaningful way – they should be easy to understand and act on.

Let’s face it – data is powerful; but it’s not easy to ‘free’ those benefits from spreadsheets, enterprise grade dashboards and data warehouses and hubs.
At Vibe.fyi, we’re on a mission to take the headache out of sharing data with your manufacturing teams.
Years of working to help large organisations communicate with hard-to-reach workers (those who don’t sit at their desks, like yours) has taught us that to achieve cut-through, messaging needs to stand out and be actively placed in front of the workforce. Data is no different – it has to be brought to life in a meaningful, visual and vibrant format.
Vibe.fyi has become an essential tool for many companies with a large workforce who need to present complex data to their teams. Vibe.fyi
transforms data (in many cases automatically) into high impact visuals, presented in a snackable format,
and with immediacy so that information is easily understood and retained.
Seamless integration within your digital workplace (i.e. SharePoint, Power BI, Yammer,
Facebook Workplace, MicroStrategy and others) and customer satisfaction data (Ask Nicely,
Customer Radar, Qualtrics and others) means content delivery can be automated and presented via digital
screens and (if employees have them) screensavers and the default browser home page.
Using Vibe.fyi to visualise data insights allows you to:
Keep your warehouse schedule
on-track with live updates on production.
Share progress on shift targets.
Motivate your employees to keep H&S top of mind.

I would say using Vibe.fyi has been 100% effective!
Employees stop and look at the screens, our deskless workforce say they feel more informed as they saw something before their team leader told them
Vibe.fyi has transformed comms for our non-wired staff
The comm's tools we used for our non-wired employees weren’t up to the same level as those for wired. Vibe provides a way of supporting the key messages around safety, wellbeing, operational updates, employee recognition etc.
We’ve experienced a 20% reduction in volume of emails
...With an obviously more positive, interactive, connected and engaged workforce, who appear a lot happier!
Vibe has been a hit from the beginning! Better collaboration, visibility, sharing and accountability
We’ve also experienced a 60% increase in awareness of upcoming events in the business calendar and were able to celebrate at least five times more staff achievements than we could have using email.
Vibe.fyi has helped save time - increasing team efficiency and happiness!
Vibe.fyi has had a positive impact on team meetings – the duration of meetings has reduced by approximately 30% because of not needing to cover the tracking of core services.
The results have surpassed our own expectations
Around 90% of our key stakeholders have wanted to know how we implemented such a stunning platform and the CEO has been raving about it.
One of the most powerful solutions there is!
I haven’t seen a solution this powerful before! Our people absolutely love it and it’s helped us transform how we communicate
The Vibe team have been great to work with...
...super proactive, super helpful. Infact we haven't needed them too much because it's really easy to use and very simple and effective.
One of our favourite features is the ability to show social media feeds...
...and things like Yammer on our screens so our people can keep their finger on the pulse of what's happening and they don't have to be stuck behind their desks all day.
It saves time...
...it's a very modern solution and it helps engage and inspire our people.
If we took it away now, there would be a riot!
Being able to set all the screens up differently is fantastic. It provides a real 'feel-good' factor for residents.
It has helped raise awareness around services on offer
The screens have not only been a great visual aid for residents, they have also been an excellent marketing and sales tool
Vibe.fyi has helped the team improve resident engagement
They are hugely popular with residents who don’t have to leave the comfort of their own room to access up to minute information about what’s going on in the village.
The flexibility of the Vibe.fyi solution impressed our project team
Some screens show events; others display news, weather and quizzes; and others a ‘personal touch’, with birthdays and anniversaries.
The Vibe system is super easy to use, requiring minimal input.
It’s easy. I’m not an IT person at all. I think (the screens) are fabulous. They have been a great tool for improving the accuracy and recency of information, removing a lot of frustration around the village.
Vibe.fyi ticked all the boxes
When choosing a product, Vibe was head and shoulder above the rest, because it offered "The best and simplest application"
Our people love the wellbeing program content!
Our people are impressed that we are providing them with communication that is timely and will help improve their safety, health and wellbeing.
Vibe helps us visualise data
We have found Vibe very effective for some of the dashboard content we are promoting. Overall, it’s a great system and I would recommend it.
Vibe has worked during lockdowns; and beyond
We are an essential service, so we needed Vibe in all Distribution Centres during the first COVID-19 lockdown to provide H&S (COVID-19) information. It’s been the solution we needed to reach all of our staff in a timely manner, and we will continue to use the service to its full potential.
Vibe helps us drive engagement
It has enabled us to display life-saving rules, incentive tracking and information that hasn’t been available to non- wired staff previously. Definitely a very positive tool!
Vibe gets cut-through
Vibe is now officially part of our channel mix and is becoming one of our main channels of communication (and has the potential to become the main channel).
Vibe offer great technical support
Site leads have appreciated the support offered by Vibe.
We're using Vibe for EVERYTHING
We started with COVID messages, but by mid-Nov we were communicating other business events on site; Facebook groups; café menus; surveys (with a QR code); internal videos; welcoming our summer interns; Christmas messaging from our CEO + more!
Seeing the Mana Moana Program on my computer screen saver!
When I first saw the Program showing Tahupotiki Wiremu Ratana, I happened to have a family member (and customer) that saw it aswell, and we wanted to say "thank you'. We are from Ratana Paa, so it is a very big deal for us to see this on a company screen saver which goes a very long way towards normalising it as part NZ history.
People love Vibe
VIBE has been 100% effective! Employees stop and look at the screens; our deskless workforce say they feel more informed.
Let's connect! You'll see we have a good vibe
