About Winningtemp

Founded in Gothenburg, Sweden, in 2014 by Pierre Lindmark and Mathias Hansson-Fredlund, Winningtemp provides a data-driven platform for employee engagement and team success. The company was born from Lindmark's experience on a national initiative in Sweden to reduce sick leave, where he recognized the value of applying scientific rigor to HR initiatives. This led to the core idea of combining science, AI, and intuitive data to help business leaders understand and improve their teams' well-being. Hansson-Fredlund, with his background as a product lead at various software companies, shared a passion for ensuring every employee's voice is heard, which was instrumental in developing the platform's technology.

Winningtemp operates on a subscription-based business model, targeting small, mid-size, and large enterprises across various industries including technology, healthcare, and manufacturing. The company generates revenue by providing its AI-powered software that helps organizations visualize employee sentiment in real-time. The platform is designed for HR departments, business leaders, and managers to proactively identify issues, strengthen engagement, and ultimately improve performance and productivity. Clients include notable names like Volvo Car Retail and PwC, with whom they have a strategic partnership.

The core of Winningtemp's offering is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform that uses AI and is based on over 600 scientific studies to analyze employee feedback. It collects data through automated, personalized pulse surveys and provides real-time visualizations of employee well-being, which the company refers to as the organization's "temperature". Key features include heatmap analysis, predictive analytics to flag potential issues like stress or turnover risk, goal setting and tracking (OKRs and SMART objectives), and a centralized repository for learning materials. The platform delivers actionable insights and recommendations to managers to help decrease stress, reduce employee turnover, and boost job satisfaction. It ensures employee anonymity to encourage honest feedback and integrates with other systems like Slack, Microsoft Teams, and various HR management software such as Personio and CatalystOne. The company reports that clients, on average, see a 21% increase in job satisfaction and a 30% reduction in staff turnover after one year of use.
