From a WhatsApp message to a conversation in your team.
Your drivers sign themselves up over WhatsApp and get a short questionnaire every week, in their own language. You see per team what is going on, never who said what. And where something is wrong, a card is ready in your dashboard for the conversation with your team.
We create your account. You paste each team's drivers from your own list, with just name and date of birth, and put up the poster. Beforehand you inform your drivers, and after the introduction someone who may sign for your company signs the pilot agreement. Whatever else needs arranging, we go through together. Beyond that the pilot asks little of you:
Before the startWe come to meet you
Before week 1Drivers sign up
Every two weeksA short call
Week 10We visit and you decide
What you do not have to do
No phone numbers to hand over. Drivers sign themselves up.
Nothing to install. WhatsApp for them, the browser for you, signing in with a link sent by e-mail.
No questions to think up. The questions and the rhythm are fixed.
No one to chase. Anyone who did not answer gets one reminder from us.
No app and no account. Drivers sign themselves up, on WhatsApp.
The questions come from WorkerJoy, not from you, and that is deliberate. Drivers told us that you answer more guardedly when a question comes from your boss.
What your driver does
1
Scan and send
The QR code on the poster opens WhatsApp with a message ready to go. Joy answers straight away, in the language of that code. Her answer begins like this:
I'm Joy, WorkerJoy's AI agent: software, not a person.
2
Name and date of birth
In one message. If it matches your list, the driver is in. We keep the date of birth only as an unreadable code made with a secret key, and it counts in none of the figures.
3
Two short questions
Whose phone is this, and may Joy remember their answers? You do not see what they choose.
What you see
Per team, one of three words:
Enough sign-ups
Not enough sign-ups yet
Too few drivers
Never how many, never who, and not who stops later either. A team that has just been put together, or is still small, gets no word for now. That keeps who signed up anonymous. What you can do then, putting the poster up again or merging teams, the dashboard explains under Drivers.
What your driver reads as soon as they have signed up: You can stop at any time: send STOP. Your employer does not see that.
Someone who knows they can always stop, and that nobody sees it, dares to be more honest.
Every week a WhatsApp message with a personal link. Anyone who has not answered yet gets one reminder later that week, and the link stays open until the next questionnaire.
Every week
A short questionnaire
Five of the ten topics, each question one tap, and at the end they choose from a fixed list what their week was mostly about, where ‘nothing special’ is allowed too, followed by an open question they may skip.
about 2 minutes
Once a month
A longer questionnaire
All ten topics, instead of the short one. Never two in one week.
about 3 minutes
Once a quarter
A look back at the quarter
The longer questionnaire looks back on the quarter and gets a screen of its own in your dashboard.
about 3 minutes
And you?
Nothing.
You do not see who has answered. That keeps taking part voluntary.
0 minutes
In 8 languages: Dutch, English, Polish, Romanian, Bulgarian, Lithuanian, Ukrainian and Turkish. You choose each driver's language in your list, and drivers can change it themselves.
What do I see, and when?
After every measurement, a team's scores, from 5 answers. Who said what: never.
Answers are stored without a name, a team has at least 7 drivers, and your dashboard shows a measurement's figures only once it closes, when the next questionnaire goes out. Those limits are the same for every customer; nobody can lower them for your company, not even you.
1
After the first measurement
The scores per team
When a measurement closes in which 5 drivers in a team answered, you see that team's scores per topic. If fewer answered, their answers still count for the depot and the company, once there are enough answers there together.
2
Once every topic has been measured
Your WorkerJoy score
One number from 1 to 5, from the most recent score per topic from the last 4 weeks.
3
After a few weeks
A trend
Per topic you see whether things are getting better or worse.
4
Once every two weeks
What is going on per team
Only once at least 3 drivers in one team chose the same thing from the list in the same week, such as ‘Planning and trips’, in a week in which at least 5 of them answered, can it appear with that team, with how it went. WorkerJoy then looks at each closed measurement week on its own, and a team has at most two at a time, from different weeks. Without a count and without a week.
5
What drivers write
Never word for word
What comes up more often, you see as a theme: without quotes and without counts.
What you never see
Who answered what, or a single answer.
Who takes part, who does not and who has stopped.
An exact response rate. That would let you work out who answered.
If a topic scores low, you get a card. You use it to talk with your team.
If a topic in a team drops below the attention threshold, or comes out lower 3 measurements in a row, by at least 0.5 points in total, a card about it is ready on Take action. With what the figures show, one step to take, three questions for the team conversation and one thing better not to do.
Example
Work-life balance3.2/5-0.6
Lower 3 measurements in a row: from 3.8 to 3.5 to 3.2.
Suggestion
Agree with planning that next week's schedule is fixed by Thursday at the latest, and that any change after that is discussed with the driver first.
Better not:
Calling the same drivers for every extra run, because they always say yes.
Conversation tips for the team lead
When do you usually hear what you are driving the week after?
How often were you called on a day off for a run in the past few weeks?
What does planning need to know from you to plan your week better?
Ask about the work, never about who answered what. Nobody can see that in the dashboard, and whoever asks anyway will not get an honest answer next time.
An example. A real card is written from that team's figures.
For depots and the company too. If a pattern only shows in the added-up figures, the depot or the company gets the card.
Never who. A card comes from the scores. What someone wrote or answered is never on it.
And after that. Pick up the card, talk with the whole team, and see in the measurements after that whether the line turns.
Every month the monthly report is ready in your dashboard: one month in one report, which you print or save as a PDF, for your management or a colleague who may see what you see.
And Joy?
Joy is there for your drivers. You hear only what they want passed on.
Joy is our AI agent, on the same WhatsApp number as the questionnaire. A driver can always write to her, in their own language. Joy is confidential, not anonymous: a conversation is tied to the driver's number, and that is why none of it reaches you.
What your driver gets from Joy
After a bad week. If a driver gave a 2 or lower anywhere, a message to Joy is ready at the end of the questionnaire. Whether to send it is up to them.
When Joy writes first. Only if a driver lets Joy remember their answers and they come out low: one fixed message, at most once every 28 days.
In control. With one word they stop talking to Joy, or have everything she knows erased.
What you see of it
Nothing of the conversations. Not what was said, not who talks to her and not how often.
A report, if the driver wants one. Only after a YES, and without a name, team or time.
The company doctor, if you enter one. Then Joy can mention the company doctor. The conversation does not go with it.
Joy is not an emergency line. In acute danger she tells the driver to call 112; neither Joy nor WorkerJoy brings anybody in. If a driver is made to pay for what they said, they report it to us through Joy, not to you.
Your lawyer and IT. What they want to know, you request from us.
There is next to nothing for IT to do. If drivers use a company phone, WhatsApp has to be allowed on it. What your lawyer or compliance wants to see, such as the data processing agreement (draft), you request from us whenever you like. Questions about it we go through at the introduction.
What if a driver does not want to take part, or wants to stop?
That is fine, with no explanation needed: taking part is voluntary, and a driver who does not sign up gets nothing from us. To stop, a driver sends STOP: no more questionnaires or reminders come, and Joy no longer writes first; writing to Joy themselves still works. With START, in capitals, the driver joins in again. What was already filled in stays in the figures without a name. You do not see who sends STOP, and whether someone takes part must never have consequences for that driver.
Ten weeks of measuring. Free, and you can always stop.
An introduction at your premises, a short call every two weeks and in week 10 a final meeting where you decide. You talk to Cas, from the first appointment to the final meeting. On working days we reply within 2 hours (9:00–18:00).
