About Us
DecisionWise was founded in 1996 and has grown from a small boutique HR consulting firm to a modern Employee Feedback SaaS company. In addition to our software solutions, we also provide consulting services, thought leadership, and project management services. During our history, we have provided services to over 70 countries in 30 different languages.
Our History
DecisionWise was founded on two simple premises. One, that gathering employee feedback (voice of the employee) is vital in helping to: (1) improve organizational leadership, (2) create winning Employee Experiences and awesome corporate cultures, and (3) drive Employee Engagement. Second, we have always known that technology must play a strategic part in the process. Indeed, our first solution was deployed using multiple PC diskettes. Now, we offer a robust, cloud-based platform that serves clients and employees across the globe.
We started with a few dedicated individuals (Charles Rogel, we’re talking about you) doing it all. Everyone was running scan-sheets for computer surveys, acting as technical support, selling to clients, and consulting on the data. Today, we have teams of software developers, industrial psychologists, sales professionals, client success managers, project managers, consultants, and more. When you work with DecisionWise, you’ll tap into decades of experience, millions and millions of survey responses, leading benchmark and normative data sets, and unparalleled know-how.
Leadership
DecisionWise’s trajectory has been shaped by Dr. Tracy M. Maylett, DecisionWise’s CEO. Dr. Maylett is a leading HR thought leader who is both a business executive and industrial-organizational psychologist. He has authored numerous articles, book chapters, academic papers, and business books. He has also taught thousands of students at the University level in both undergraduate and graduate programs. Dr. Maylett is supported by Matthew Wride, as President, Christian Nielson as Chief Revenue Officer, Micah Wardell as Chief Product Officer, and David Long as Chief Operating Officer. Our truest expression of leadership, however, is what our employees each do on a daily basis. These incredibly talented and engaged people are the secret to our success, and they represent the very best of our corporate values.
OUR CORE VALUES:
AUTHENTICITY • DRIVE • VITALITY • EXPERTISE • FAMILY • CARE
