Strengthening Organizations through Gratitude: Launch of GRATICA's New Survey Service

In a world where workplace satisfaction is paramount, OKWEB Inc., based in Minato, Tokyo, has made a significant leap forward with its new service called "Organizational Survey," which is set to be released on April 13, 2026. With a core mission of enhancing societal wellbeing by recording and visualizing stories of gratitude from around the globe, this innovative service aims to transform workplace dynamics.

Understanding the Need for Organizational Surveys

As organizations increasingly prioritize employee engagement and wellbeing, they often struggle to quantify the quality of relationships among team members. Recognizing this challenge, GRATICA’s organizational survey focuses on understanding the nuances of these relationships through gratitude data and concise surveys, making organizational conditions more visible. This approach not only aids in identifying improvement actions but also serves as valuable feedback for management reporting.

The foundation of this initiative rests on GRATICA’s long-standing commitment to fostering a culture of gratitude, providing a platform for meaningful conversations and behavioral changes within organizations. The service’s design is backed by insights accumulated from over 700 companies over 23 years, confirming that expressions of gratitude—often overlooked in daily interactions—contribute significantly to an organization’s value. Thus, the survey is not just a data collection tool but a catalyst for dialogue and trust-building.

The Role of Gratitude in Wellbeing

The creators of GRATICA believe that happiness unlocks the potential within individuals, leading to remarkable outcomes in creativity and productivity. In collaborating with renowned researchers like Professor Takushi Maeno of Musashino University, an expert on wellbeing, the service is tailored to recognize gratitude as a pivotal element. According to Professor Maeno, various factors—including gratitude, purpose, growth, connection, compassion, and health—play a role in enhancing overall wellbeing. The aim of GRATICA’s survey is, therefore, to not just visualize gratitude but also to foster a holistic improvement in organizational and individual happiness.

Research suggests that individuals with higher levels of happiness exhibit approximately three times the creativity and a 30% boost in productivity. This research underscores the importance of designing the Organizational Survey to empower both individuals and organizations while facilitating a cycle of gratitude.

Features of the Organizational Survey

The GRATICA Organizational Survey is designed to extend beyond mere data collection. By combining gratitude data with a lightweight monthly survey consisting of five questions, the service will offer a clear representation of organizational changes. This visibility enables teams to engage in vital discussions and improvement actions based on real-time insights, directors to make informed judgments, and it positions the organization to monitor its health actively.

Key Functionalities Include:

• - Monthly Lightweight Surveys: These allow for departmental and location-specific assessments of organizational conditions.
• - Wellbeing Cycle Map: A visual representation that tracks the flow of gratitude and related wellbeing indicators.
• - Action Templates: Tools designed to facilitate discussions on improvement actions.
• - Monitoring Signals: Indicators that help prioritize areas needing attention.
• - Management Reporting Summary: Consolidated insights to assist leadership in strategic reporting and decision-making.

Overall, every facet of the Organizational Survey nurtures an ecosystem where gratitude is recognized and acted upon. Thus, it positions itself as a key tool for enhancing workplace wellbeing through actionable insights.

Launch Details

The service will be available starting April 13, 2026, free of additional charge for existing GRATICA users. The cloud-based gratitude card service, GRANTICA, provides platforms for employees to share appreciation and admiration for one another, thus nurturing a culture of recognition within the organization. Additionally, it offers insights into daily interactions and further strengthens internal communication, dialogue, and overall organizational strength.
