Just for Small Businesses
Your business already collects valuable data every day. Voice Up helps you understand what it's telling you about your people.
Why Voice Up works for small organizations
Voice Up began with a simple conviction: there is power in purpose. Across thousands of participants, our 8-week purpose-discovery pathway, guided reflections, and community programs have shown what happens when people get the chance to name what matters most to them — they engage more deeply, stay longer, and contribute more of themselves. Small organizations sit on a quiet goldmine: schedules, attendance, turnover, training completions, customer and client feedback, rebooking and retention rates — data collected every single day. What's missing is the human layer that makes it interpretable: why people stay or leave, what the people you serve actually experienced, what your team needs to hear. That's what Voice Up adds — first-person, real-people insight, tracked over time, in plain language you can act on.
For Small Business Entrepreneurs
You already track the numbers that run your business. These offerings add the human layer — why people stay, what customers experienced, what your team needs — in plain language you can act on this week.
Purpose Pulse
A quarterly check on what your people are carrying, set next to the numbers you already track. Short assessments and guided reflections reveal where your people-data and your operations-data are telling the same story — before small cracks become resignations.
Stay Interview Engine
Stop learning why people left. A manager-ready kit — including a 7-day sprint — for running stay conversations that surface why people stay while they're still here, connected to the retention outcomes you already record.
Review-to-Root-Cause Diagnostic
Your reviews are telling you what's wrong. We code months of your customer reviews for recurring themes, then run a one-week employee reflection sprint on those same themes — mapping outside-in complaints to inside-out causes you can actually fix.
First-Week Purpose Sprint
Onboarding teaches the job; this teaches the why. New hires complete a 7-day sprint in their first week — short videos, reflections, and naming what matters most about their work here — while you watch whether connected hires ramp faster and stay longer.
Customer Voice Check-In
Not a star rating — the story behind the visit. A two-question post-visit reflection, coded monthly into a one-page brief of emerging themes, set next to the rebooking data you already have.
Team Lifeline Workshop
A quarterly half-day where your team maps professional lifelines and surfaces what gives their work meaning. You receive an anonymized themes report that compounds every quarter — a growing record of your team's meaning, alongside your engagement numbers.
Manager's Data Mirror
You're already collecting the data. Export what you have — schedules, attendance, sales-per-shift, training completions — and receive a plain-language quarterly report on what it's actually telling you about your people. Descriptive, honest, written for an owner, not an analyst.
'Why People Stay' Employer Brand Package
Recruiting content written by your own people. Permissioned, anonymized employee reflections on why they stay — anchored in your actual retention numbers — turned into a brief, quote cards, and a careers-page narrative no stock photo can match.
For Small Nonprofits
You measure outcomes for funders and boards — but the people delivering the mission are your most important data. These offerings translate staff, volunteer, and community insight into plain-language understanding you can act on and report on.
Purpose Pulse for Mission Teams
A quarterly check on what your staff and volunteers are carrying, set next to the program numbers you already report. Short assessments and guided reflections reveal where your people-data and your outcomes-data are telling the same story — in language your board and funders can understand.
Team Lifeline Workshop
A quarterly half-day where your team maps professional lifelines and surfaces what gives their work meaning. You receive an anonymized themes report that compounds every quarter — a living record of your team's purpose, and honest material for culture-building and funder storytelling.
First-Week Purpose Sprint
Onboarding teaches the role; this teaches the why. New staff and volunteers complete a 7-day sprint in their first week — short videos, reflections, and naming what matters most about the mission — so connection starts on day one, not month six.
Director's Data Mirror
You're already collecting the data. Export what you have — attendance, program completions, volunteer hours, staff turnover — and receive a plain-language quarterly report on what it's actually telling you about your people. Descriptive, honest, written for an executive director, not an analyst.
Feedback-to-Root-Cause Diagnostic
Your community is telling you what's working and what isn't. We code months of constituent and stakeholder feedback for recurring themes, then run a one-week staff reflection sprint on those same themes — mapping outside-in feedback to inside-out causes you can actually address.
'Why People Serve' Story Package
Recruiting and fundraising content written by your own people. Permissioned, anonymized staff and volunteer reflections on why they serve — anchored in your actual retention numbers — turned into a brief, quote cards, and a story no stock photo can match.
