How to make the right choice

Arnold knows how to work both in a team and within a company as a whole. He does not have a problem with a small team working remotely or a large corporation. Thanks to automation and the cloud principle of operation, he can serve one or a thousand employees equally carefully and attentively. Arnold can adapt to any team, can attend individually to any number of employees, while still delivering the same quality output.
In addition to team reports, Arnold also prepares reports for HR and company management, in which data is displayed for the entire company, highlighting important areas that should be focussed on. View a sample company-wide report.

Arnold is the first, and so far the only one of his kind, there is currently no service similar to him on the market. Any comparison is therefore only possible with the conventional category of employee surveys, and Arnold’s main benefits are:
  • significant time and cost savings
  • the ability to gain quality insight across the entire company
  • flexibility and speed of response to established facts
Yes, Arnold can be purchased for selected months, several times a year. This option may be used, for example, when the client plans to have one or two larger employee surveys per year. In this case, the reports remain available for as long as the Arnold subscription is active. At the end of the subscription, the reports are available for another 30 days. Should the subscription be renewed, the reports will be available again. Regardless of the edition of Arnold selected, due to GDPR, the longest period for which reports are available is 25 months. After this period, they are irretrievably (really utterly and completely) deleted.
It is possible to use only a certain selected type of surveys, e.g. Onboarding newcomers. However, it must be remembered that the minimum number of prepaid participants in the Business and Essential editions is 50. As the feedback collection for onboarded newcomers runs for three months, the number of 50 engaged participants per month corresponds to exactly 200 onboardings per year. If you have fewer than 200 boardings per year, the cost of the onboarding section of Arnold is still 30,000 CZK for the Essential edition and 45,000 CZK for the Business edition. Access to other unused topics is functionally not limited and all available topics can be used with the purchased number of participants.
Yes, it’s possible. Arnold allows you to increase the number of participants for an active subscription. The price for new participants is then calculated as the number of remaining months of the subscription * the number of participants * the price of the selected edition.   If the number of participants increases during the month, the number of remaining days in the month/number of days in the month * number of participants * price of the selected edition is calculated for that month.
Yes, you can fill out a form directly in Arnold, which we will process immediately. However, we do not have an payment gateway implemented yet, so the request must be processed manually.

Arnold's employee survey

Interviews take place in the form of a chat and take a maximum of 5 minutes. Arnold can also give advice and solve any problems during the interview. Watch a sample conversation.
Interview completion rate, and thus the volume of processed data, is directly dependent on the correct setting of the topics that Arnold is interested in in the interviews, as well as on the internal communication that precedes and accompanies the use of Arnold. We are happy to help you with both so that the interview completion rate is at least 80%.
Arnold includes over 22 default topics that support the following areas: retention, business performance, business success, development, culture and change. See the complete list of all topics.

The amount of monthly costs is directly derived from the number of employees in your company and includes all the costs of Arnold’s operation (the price list is available on Arnold’s website). If you are not satisfied with Arnold, we guarantee your money back.
It’s not necessary to know exactly how many of you there will be in the company in a year’s time, just an estimate. When calculating, simply ask yourself these questions: Are we planning to increase the number of employees? If so, at what rate? Do we plan to have about the same number of employees? Or, on the contrary, are we planning to reduce the number of employees a bit? Once you have answered these questions, factor your outlook into the calculation and, together with the selected edition, determine the annual price of the service. If your headcount happens to grow faster than you anticipated, we at Arnold will notify you of this fact, but we will not limit the service. We will only contact you if you significantly exceed the prepaid number of participants.
