Keeping an eye on what really matters!
When explosive growth meets data-driven engagement.
Founded in 2018 in Victoriaville and already more than 340 employees strong, Vosker is decidedly a leader in remote-monitoring devices. These work without Wi-Fi or electricity, and in sometimes harsh weather conditions.
Growth of +560% between 2019 and 2021.
An exceptional trajectory
Growth that nearly doubled the headcount in a few months, in the middle of the pandemic.

Always looking to push the limits of technology, Vosker's ambition is to become the world leader in remote-area monitoring.
And it's off to a great start!
These innovation enthusiasts won the Best New Product Award at the International Security Conference and Exposition (ISC) in 2019, as well as Deloitte Canada's Technology Fast 50 award in both 2021 and 2022.
This organization's growth is impressive in its own right: between 2019 and 2021, Vosker grew by 560%! While the world was in the midst of the pandemic in 2020, the number of employees nearly doubled in a few months.
Such spectacular growth often comes with a few challenges, notably around culture and remote management.
With that in mind, to ensure employee engagement and performance while maximizing their innovation potential, it became essential to launch an employee engagement measurement initiative.
That's why Vosker began a continuous improvement process with Amélio in 2021.
Smart decision-making
Since Vosker's operations are spread across 3 sites and, above all, more than 80% of employees work remotely, the engagement measurement tool had to make it possible to take the pulse of the teams, no matter where employees are.
The data collected also had to make it possible to distinguish both the drivers and the challenges around engagement, while ranking action priorities.
Amélio is our key tool for getting the information and data we need to target the real issues and make smart decisions. It's a simple, user-friendly tool that lets us easily identify our strengths and the barriers to engagement. And it helps pinpoint where we should keep putting in the effort.
The answers gathered allowed Vosker to make decisions that had a positive impact not only on employee engagement and culture, but also on achieving the organization's objectives.
For example, thanks to employee feedback, they reworked internal communication channels to get even closer to employees, developed new, more competitive total-compensation strategies that met employees' real needs, identified issues experienced by certain teams and improved some internal processes, such as onboarding new employees.

Regular follow-ups: one of the keys to success
One of the key factors in such success is certainly following up with employees on the results of the latest survey. And that's exactly what Vosker put into practice, during meetings between managers and their teams, for example. Thanks to frequent follow-ups, potential conflicts in some teams were defused before they even emerged.
What's more, the Amélio report is among the recurring topics discussed between the Talent & Culture business partners and managers. They can then track how challenges evolve within teams and discuss concrete actions to take.
The organization's quarterly engagement report is reviewed once a quarter during leadership meetings, and the engagement index is tied to executive bonuses. That shows just how central employee engagement and Amélio are to Vosker's priorities.
Frequent follow-ups and the actions put in place after analyzing the results let employees see that their answers are genuinely taken into account by management.
Beyond boosting their survey participation, feeling read and heard can have a real impact on how employees perceive their organization or their job.
For example, a new Vosker employee had reservations about the organization's values, wondering whether they were truly lived out. Thanks to the comment-reply feature, which preserves the employee's anonymity, it was possible to respond to their doubts, which had a strong impact:
I took the time to respond to their comment, and the employee told me it was the first time in their life they had shared a comment in a survey tool and gotten a reply. That employee later confirmed they would give our values a chance. Amélio gives employees a space to speak up and gives us visibility into their real concerns.
Along the same lines, the results obtained through the engagement surveys let Vosker confirm that the culture of collaboration and innovation they want to shine is truly rooted in everyone's day-to-day.
We can therefore be confident that Vosker's employer brand isn't just a “brand” sold on the Careers page, but genuinely reflects the experience lived within the organization.
“Amélio has become indispensable for us”
In short, Vosker is the perfect example of a company that is revolutionizing its field by betting on innovation.
Given that Vosker's capacity for growth no longer needs to be proven, there's no doubt the organization is moving at full speed! Whether in continuing to build a culture of recognition that listens to its employees, or in reaching its objectives.
To get there and always stay a step ahead, Vosker relies on the full potential of its team, with the help of the Amélio platform — a genuinely powerful tool, according to Mélanie Lavoie. And the organization makes the most of it:
“With a Lamborghini, you can go 50 km/h, but you can also go 300 km/h.”
That's how Vosker keeps an eye on what really matters to be a world leader in its industry.
