At SmartEvals, we believe that happy employees and inclusive culture contribute to providing the best products. It’s not just a feel-good statement—it’s a business strategy. A workplace where people enjoy coming to work, feel appreciated, and are encouraged to grow naturally leads to better innovation, stronger customer support, and a thriving community.
We’re not just another tech company pushing out software updates and answering support tickets. We’re a team of real people who believe in what we do, and that passion translates into an exceptional product and customer experience. So, what’s the secret? It’s simple: treat your employees well, and they’ll take care of everything else.
Building a Community, Not Just a Workplace
Let’s be real—nobody wants to work in a stiff, corporate environment where the only “perk” is free coffee. At SmartEvals, we take company culture seriously (but not too seriously—we’re here to have fun, too).
We foster a community-first approach, making sure our team feels valued and engaged. And yes, we know how to have a good time. Often after our busiest times of the year, we have a event full of activities to help everyone unwind and have fun after the hectic season. Here are just a few ways we bring people together:
- Company-Wide Escape Room Events – Because nothing says “team bonding” like being locked in a room together trying to solve puzzles under pressure. (And hey, it helps us refine our problem-solving skills!)
- Cornhole Cookout Events – Good food, friendly competition, and some serious bragging rights at stake. What more could you want?
- Cook-Offs – Who doesn’t love a good homemade dish? Our team brings their A-game with mac and cheese, casseroles, and even confections that could make a pastry chef jealous.
- Game Days & In-Office Perks – We work hard, but we also believe in taking breaks, celebrating wins, and making the office a fun place to be.
By investing in our company culture, we ensure that SmartEvals isn’t just a job—it’s a place where people want to be. And that enthusiasm carries over into everything we do.
Why a Happy Workforce Creates a Better Product
Now, you might be thinking: “That all sounds great, but how does it actually impact SmartEvals’ course evaluations software?” The answer? In every way possible.
Motivated Employees = Smarter Innovation
A team that feels supported and valued thinks creatively and stays ahead of the competition. Instead of just clocking in and out, SmartEvals employees are constantly innovating new ways to improve our platform, making sure universities get the most effective and user-friendly course evaluation software possible.
Engaged Teams Provide Top-Tier Support
Ever had to deal with a burnt-out or disinterested customer service rep? It’s the worst. Our team, on the other hand, genuinely cares about solving problems for our clients. That’s because we invest in our people, ensuring they’re not only well-trained but also genuinely happy to help.
When you call SmartEvals, you’re not just talking to someone reading from a script—you’re talking to an expert who knows the system inside and out and actually enjoys helping you.
SmartEvals: A Culture-Driven Company
The reality is, company culture isn’t just an HR buzzword—it’s a competitive advantage. At SmartEvals, we don’t just build software. We build a community of happy employees who, in turn, create exceptional products and services for universities across the country.
When companies take care of their people, those people take care of the company. And at SmartEvals, that means better course evaluations, stronger support, and happier clients.
So, the next time you hear about our latest software update, know that it was created by a team that’s engaged, passionate, and probably still talking about their last cornhole tournament.
