This Help Doc is designed to encourage bot builders and admins to think about how they are measuring success with The Bot Platform.

When it comes to the value that a bot is adding to a user and/or the broader business, success can be measured in a variety of ways - often based on which area of the employee experience the bot is aimed to improve.

For example, the success measures for a New Starter Onboarding bot will look different to those of a Help Desk or Employee Recognition program.

From a top level perspective, there are 3 broad areas to look at when thinking about how to measure success. These areas areโ€ฆ

  • Usage - how many staff are using the bot and how regularly? How easy to use is The Bot Platform for bot builders and admins?

  • Impact - how has the bot helped solve, improve or automate the task(s) it was designed for?

  • Feedback - what has the reaction been from staff and stakeholders?

Example metrics for each area are

Usage

  • Bot usage (at launch and ongoing)

  • Adoption among target group of staff

  • Delivery / engagement rate on broadcasts

  • How easy The Bot Platform is to use for builders / admins (+ time/money saved on builds)

Impact

  • Processes completed

  • Speed & accuracy of process completed

  • Process improvements (eg. automating manual, time consuming processes)

  • Time / money saved

  • Increases in staff awareness / engagement / participation in key programs

  • Increases in staff usage + engagement of other tools / platforms / systems

  • Improvements in information access and delivery

  • Accessibility and always-on benefits

Feedback

  • NPS scores from bot users within the bot flow (including ignored messages)

  • Positive feedback from staff / bot users (channel comments, company culture surveys, anecdotal)

  • Management buy in / support / praise
