Are you considering a positive employee experience?

When the organization has 5 members, it is easy for employees to share direction and everyone can have the same thoughts. As the number of people begins to grow to 30, 50, and 100, the organization's culture spreads across multiple parts and cracks begin to appear.

‍

Forbes Insight's “The Experience Equation (Experience Equation): How Happy Employees and Customers Accelerate Growth” ReportAccording to, it can be seen that a good employee experience enhances the customer experience, which in turn leads to increased revenue. In a rapidly growing startup, thinking about providing a positive employee experience is essential.

‍

One of the many factors that influence a positive employee experience is 'creating a flexible and smart workplace'. Mulsoft's '2023 Connectivity Benchmark Report'According to the report, the average enterprise has 900 applications, but only 28% of them are currently integrated. This shows that companies are still operating in a siloed format and are not making significant investments in the daily work of employees.

‍

Along with the acceleration of digital transformation (DX), startups have also begun to adopt various SaaS to create flexible and smart work environments.

‍

In this article, we'll look at what SaaS startups with 100 or less are using based on interviews with 7 domestic startup clients with 100 or fewer members by the POPs team.

Is adopting a world-famous SaaS unconditionally the right answer?

As you can see from the interview results, most SaaS names are used. Startup clients are more likely to use employee needs or popular software rather than choosing solutions tailored to the organization. It's a motive for avoiding anxiety. Global SaaS may not be right for every organization. Making smart SaaS choices by accurately understanding our organization's requirements before introducing SaaS and setting priorities to be met, such as ease of integration and cost-related aspects, will lead to a positive employee experience.

‍

In the future, we'll cover the use of SaaS suitable for various situations in POPs. Smaller organizations use spreadsheets to manage SaaS costs, licenses, and contracts by hand. You'll be organizing it by switching screens and duplicating/pasting thousands of times. Since it is obvious that the use of SaaS will continue to increase in the future, it would be good for both administrators and users to use it within the category of management. We recommend convenient management and use with an automated experience due to the inconvenience of having to manage and obtain approval for use on a daily basis, such as wasted licenses and frequent onboarding and offboarding.

SaaS management platforms, POPs that enhance the employee experience

POPS is a SaaS Management Platform (SMP) that enables both SaaS management and cost management. I think not only about SaaS administrators, but also about the experiences of employees directly using SaaS. Employees can check the SaaS apps authorized by the administrator on the launcher, and use all authorized SaaS apps by logging in (single-sign-on) with a single account. Bookmarks where individuals can add frequently used links and personalize them are also possible. Currently, there are approximately 150 SaaS linked to POPs. Employees can easily find the SaaS they need in the launcher, and managers can centrally identify and manage multiple SaaS at a glance.
