CUSTOMER CASE
Läxhjälpen
The foundation Läxhjälpen ("Homework Helper") is a non-profit organization that helps students in grades 7-9 with their homework in areas where their grades are lower than average.
With the help of local businesses, the public sector, foundations, and philanthropists, Läxhjälpen employs university students to help and support the younger students.
"An essential part of the organization is to measure, evaluate, and regularly publish the results of their work to show the investors that Läxhjälpen is achieving substantial results." - Matilda Svensson, Operational Chief, Läxhjälpen
How work with Questback contributes
The students take a survey when they first join Läxhjälpen and another after they've been mentored for at least a year. Being able to show these tangible results is a core reason as to why local businesses and municipalities are so positive when it comes to investing in the organization.
Tangible results
With Questback, Läxhjälpen gets a clear understanding of what everyone involved thinks about the cooperation, and it creates an opportunity to develop and make changes to the organization.
Läxhjälpen also get confirmation that what they're doing is generating positive effects. Each survey gives access to insights about what the organization needs to focus on, do more of, and what changes to make in the future.
