Meet Emplometry – a startup from Kiev, we met at our Startup Visa Roadshow a few weeks ago. Myroslav Botsula, co-founder of Emplometry, answered to some questions.

What is Emplometry? What problems does your product solve?

Myroslav: Emplometry is a cloud-based HR software that helps to retain employees and improve they satisfaction.

Our solution helps HR to visualize the status of employees, uncover what’s causing an unwanted turnover and create retention strategies to prevent it. Emplometry can determine which of the employees requires attention and what are the causes of anxiety. Emplometry will offer advice on how to level employee depending on the individual combination of risk factors.

The rise of technology and the information age has resulted in more companies that compete based primarily on their people. Unwanted employee turnover (when people are quitting) cost to companies a lot. Losing an employee can cost up to 213% of the annual salary for a highly trained position! So if an executive is making EUR 60,000 a year, the true loss could be up to EUR 127,800 to the company!

Emplometry allows filling the gap between companies HR policies and individual needs of each employee. It is crucial in terms of creating strong employer brand of companies and turning employees onto the brand ambassadors.
