Case Study: Empowered Education boosts remote engagement and achieves nearly 300% increase in feedback reviews with 15Five

Giving Remote Employees a Voice and Making Sure Leadership Is Listening

Empowered Education is a 100%‑remote skills-based education platform founded in 2015, with about 250 employees across 31 states and 15 countries. Focused on personal development, the company faced the challenge of keeping a distributed workforce engaged and ensuring remote employees had a reliable way to share feedback and be heard.

They implemented 15Five for weekly check-ins, pulse surveys, recognition, and integrations with BambooHR and Gallup Strengths, enabling leaders to act on employee feedback. Results include an average weekly pulse score of 4.1, an NPS of 31, over 2,100 High Fives in one month, and nearly a 300% increase in managers reviewing check-ins.
