Do we ever truly learn from our mistakes?

Employee engagement surveys—how honest are you?

A recent Reddit thread (linked here ) posed this exact question, and the responses are eye-opening.

Stories of frustration, burnout, and disillusionment paint a grim picture:

• "I was honest once, and it led to reprimand—never again."
• "They told us they expect ‘better morale’ next time, without addressing the real issues."
• "We stopped being honest because nothing ever changes."

One healthcare worker shared their own struggle in the thread:

• Honest feedback in past surveys didn’t bring meaningful change.
• They fought for tuition reimbursement while juggling low pay and burnout.
• Now, they’re questioning whether it’s worth being honest again—not out of fear, but sheer exhaustion.

?These stories reflect a widespread problem:

• Surveys that promise anonymity but feel anything but.
• Leadership addressing symptoms, not root causes.
• A cycle of distrust and disengagement.

The uncomfortable truth? These surveys often fail because organizations aren’t ready to truly listen and, accept the floors of their current solution.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. Last month, I had 19 demos, and every single one resulted in a pilot with Oraqor.com —a 100% success rate.

While I’d like to attribute the success to my expertise, the truth is clear: within just 5 minutes of demonstrating how Oraqor redefines the market, executives are astonished by the unparalleled difference.?

Of the 17 companies on those calls, 8 different engagement tools were already in use. Yet, the difference was so striking that leaders immediately requested a pilot.

I can prove it in 5 minutes .
