Workforce Challenges Before Butterfly.ai

Identifying whether issues were widespread or isolated was challenging, as was gathering feedback from employees. This led to communication gaps and problems addressing concerns promptly. The absence of a streamlined approach to gather insights from employees resulted in a fragmented understanding of the work environment, making it challenging to make informed decisions that would drive operational excellence.

Data-Driven Insights: Systemic vs. Specific

Initially met with a level of skepticism, Butterfly.ai quickly emerged as a reliable and valuable tool, allowing Backcountry's managers to decipher patterns and discern whether issues were confined to particular shifts or indicative of broader problems. This data-driven clarity became pivotal in informed decision-making. 

Butterfly.ai's survey functionality shed light on nuanced improvements, ranging from minor adjustments, like facility maintenance enhancements, to overarching concerns, such as gaps in the diversity, equity, and inclusion strategy. These insights provided Backcountry with a strategic compass, resulting in refined processes and a harmonious work environment.
