When workers were asked by Grapevine Magazine Online to identify the hypothtical situation most likely to compel them to quit, "Unsuprisingly, the most correlated statement was (when) 'senior managers do a lot of telling and not enough listening'." In a capitalistic economy like ours, it's easy to forget that most of us base the decision to stay at our job or leave on many factors beyond just pay. Despite the tens of millions that Industry spends each year on retention efforts, could it be that listening (at no cost to you!) is the best approach? Cleargears thinks so.

While it's true that Cleargears polls for performance and surveys for satisfaction, our primary aspiration is to change the way work works. Cleargears is the real-time feeback tool for teams, and our great hope is that it will better work culture and improve the quality of life for all who use it.
