Purpose and objectives

What can I use Cultr for?

Cultr is used for culture transformation, employee engagement, kick-offs, breaking down silos, sales campaigns etc. It can be customised to turn any desired behaviours into action including growth mindset, customer focus, digital transformation and more.

What size of companies is Cultr for?

Cultr is a scalable tool suitable for organisations from 25 people up to thousands of employees.

What are the engagement rates?

Participation is almost always voluntary and still Cultr usually sees app engagement rates of 25-90%. As a result of social contagion, even employees who are not using the Cultr app can be influenced to change in behaviours.

Isn’t it too much fun?

No. Cultr is fun to use, because the opposite would make it less successful. But as campaigns are directly aligned with business objectives, there is no contradiction between relevance and fun. It is simply a very engaging way of achieving more of desired action.

How is it different from other social collaboration tools?

Most collaboration tools’ focus is on sharing information and keeping people up to date. Channels labeled #fun, #ourculture, #kudos can serve as sources for fun and belonging. They are often filled with memes, jokes or various inspirational posts. While Cultr does also feed a shared channel, the content of the Cultr feed ends up being quite different. Cultr is a nudging machine which orchestrates real actions aligned with desired behaviours.

Are the points received connected to certain incentives?

No, not necessarily. But individual or team scores could be linked to various incentives outside of the Cultr app.

How is it different from employee feedback tools?

Employee feedback tools are usually excellent in analyzing the state and sometimes even needs within an organisation. Cultr is focusing on what comes after knowing the current state, namely how to influence behaviours and culture.

How do you track progress in Cultr?

Surveys and polls can be run within the app to measure perceived culture and to get feedback from employees on progress over time.

They create the real story of progress.
