Published

Study finds opportunities for improvement in employee engagement surveys and initiatives.

HERNDON, Va., Oct. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — As organizations around the world work to strengthen employee engagement, a new study suggests that those who utilize engagement surveys as part of a comprehensive employee experience program are more likely to see meaningful results.

“This study not only identifies the gaps in current engagement survey practices but also highlights the crucial role leaders must play in bridging these gaps.”

Leading research and experience management firm Sogolytics has published a report titled “Voices into Action: Leveraging Employee Perceptions to Enhance Engagement Surveys,” shedding light on the effectiveness of employee engagement surveys across various industries.

The study, conducted in July 2024, gathered responses from 1,034 employees, reflecting a broad demographic scope across sectors such as technology, healthcare, education, and finance. This rich diversity of participants has provided a well-rounded perspective on the current state and potential of employee engagement strategies.

Key study findings include:

Survey Satisfaction and Relevance: While a majority are satisfied, 18% of employees find engagement surveys lack relevance to their daily tasks, suggesting significant room for improvement in survey content and application.Perceived Impact: About 45% of employees have observed changes post-surveys, although 39% report infrequent or no noticeable changes, highlighting the underutilization of these surveys in driving meaningful organizational change.Anonymity and Honesty: A striking 67% of respondents indicated that anonymity would encourage them to provide more honest feedback, underscoring the need for confidentiality in collecting genuine insights.Strategic Engagement Barriers: Leadership resistance and inadequate follow-through on survey insights are noted as key barriers to effective change.

In light of these findings, Sogolytics emphasizes several strategic recommendations to enhance the value and impact of engagement surveys. These include strengthening leadership commitment (both in and beyond human resources departments), enhancing survey confidentiality, tailoring survey questions to specific roles, and consistently applying insights to foster a responsive and inclusive workplace culture.

Sogolytics VP of Success Melissa Krut notes, “This study not only identifies the gaps in current engagement survey practices but also highlights the crucial role leaders must play in bridging these gaps. By focusing on continuous improvement and open communication, organizations can significantly enhance employee satisfaction and organizational productivity.”

The full report provides a detailed analysis of the survey results and strategic recommendations, aiming to assist organizations in transforming employee feedback into actionable insights and tangible improvements.

Sungrow Powers the Nordics’ Largest Commissioned BESS Project in Sweden with PowerTitan 2

Published

on

By

STOCKHOLM, July 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The largest battery energy storage system (BESS) project in the Nordics in Ånge, Sweden has now been taken into commercial operation. Sungrow, a global leader in battery storage and PV inverters, delivered its utility BESS PowerTitan 2.0 for the 70 MW / 160 MWh battery system developed by Delta Capacity. Designed to deliver high reliability and efficiency, the system is built to operate under challenging Nordic weather conditions and extreme temperature variations.

The Ånge BESS will contribute to balancing Sweden’s power system, offering rapid response capabilities and capacity for both frequency regulation and arbitrage across the volatile Nordic power market. Sweden’s battery storage market is expanding rapidly as the country’s energy transition accelerates. The regulatory framework has enabled battery storage to participate in balancing markets, turning it into a revenue-generating asset, according to a report from SolarPower Europe. Sweden and Finland together installed more than 1 GWh of new battery capacity in 2025[1].

“Ånge is a great example of how large-scale energy storage is built in practice. Fast, at the right scale, and with the right partners like Delta Capacity. Our role is to be a long-term partner and contribute to expanding renewable energy capacity in Sweden,” says Samer Nameer, Country Manager Sweden at Sungrow.

Fast deployment for the Nordic energy transition

The Ånge project is owned by a joint venture between WOOD & Company Renewables Sub-Fund and Delta Capacity, which has led the project from design to completion. From procurement start to commercial operation took 15 months. The facility is located in bidding zone SE2 and contributes to balancing the Swedish power system.

Patrik Hes, CEO of Delta Capacity: “The Nordic energy transition is moving fast and requires infrastructure that keeps the same pace. Sweden has great renewable resources, but flexibility is missing and that is exactly what Ånge provides. 160 MWh of storage, delivered in 15 months. Delta Capacity’s goal is to keep building faster and at a greater scale. The energy transition cannot wait.”

The project was acquired from RES in February 2025. Other suppliers in the project are Stenger & Ibsen Construction, Rejlers, Green Power Monitor, Solvina and Ellevio. Centrica Energy manages the buying and selling of electricity for the facility around the clock.

Local presence with a global footprint

Sungrow Europe currently has 25 local offices, two research and development centres and 26 warehouses across Europe. The Swedish team with dedicated experts for Services, and energy solutions is based in Stockholm, with other Scandinavian offices in Malmö, Copenhagen and Helsinki. Among its most recent projects in the Nordic region are the Nordic region’s largest solar roof in Sweden[2] (14 MW) and the northernmost solar project in Finland[3] (70 MW).”

As of Dec 2025, Sungrow has installed over 1000 GW of power electronic converters worldwide.

AI Usage Among 7th Gen Galaxy Foldables Users Grows in Southeast Asia and Oceania as Mobile Continues to be the Primary Gateway to AI

Published

Samsung introduces all-new foldable form factor amidst growing interest from consumers in the region. Sales of Galaxy Z7 series have increased by almost 15% year-on-year compared with previous generation.

SYDNEY, July 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Following the launch of the new Galaxy Z series at the Galaxy Unpacked event in London, Samsung leaders engaged with media from Southeast Asia and Oceania, sharing insights about how AI is evolving from a technology that people experiment with into one that is woven into everyday life.

Won-Joon Choi, President and COO of Samsung Electronics’ Mobile eXperience (MX) Business and Head of R&D Office, CU Kim, President & CEO of Samsung Electronics Southeast Asia and Oceania, and Carl Nordenberg, VP & Regional Head of the Mobile eXperience Business for Southeast Asia and Oceania discussed changing consumer expectations in the region and what comes next for mobile AI experiences.

As Samsung introduced an all-new form factor this year, CU Kim revealed that sales of the Galaxy Z7 Series have increased by almost 15% year-on-year compared with the previous generation, indicating growing consumer interest in foldable experiences across Southeast Asia and Oceania.

Highlighting the region’s growing adoption of AI, CU Kim shared that AI usage among Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 users in Southeast Asia and Oceania has increased from 84% in August 2025 to 96% in June 2026[1]. He noted that consumers often utilise AI for practical daily tasks, with Circle to Search, Now Brief and Photo Assist among the most frequently used features.

CU Kim said “The next phase of AI will not be about more features. It is about relevance”, emphasising that as AI works across the various Galaxy mobile devices and other Samsung appliances and screens, it will be able to better understand user needs and become more helpful and personalised over time.

Galaxy AI also currently supports 22 languages, including Filipino, Indonesian, Thai and Vietnamese, reflecting Samsung’s commitment to delivering localised experiences for consumers across this diverse region. 

The session explored how AI is changing the way people interact with their mobile devices as well, with CU Kim reiterating that in this region, mobile phones are the primary gateway to AI.

When discussing the future of mobile AI, Won-Joon Choi highlighted that the value of AI will be determined by how well it can remove friction in the background while giving users greater flexibility and choice.

“From a consumer’s perspective, there is no single AI that’s right for everyone. We want users to have the flexibility to use the right one at the right time, and that’s why we’re building Galaxy AI as a platform, with multiple AI agents working together to deliver the most seamless experience,” he added.

Building on the foundation established with the Galaxy S26 series, the Galaxy Z8 series and One UI 9 will provide an enhanced agentic AI experience through deeper system-level integration and more intuitive user controls. With multiple agents working seamlessly across apps, services, and device features, users will enjoy greater flexibility and choices for how they interact with AI.

Looking ahead, Won-Joon Choi shares that Samsung’s foldable portfolio is evolving to meet more lifestyles and needs. “Since we launched this category in 2019, we’ve studied closely how consumers interact with their foldables. Our broader, more diverse portfolio lets us better meet each user’s needs, and we are excited about what that will bring to Southeast Asia and Oceania,” he said. The Galaxy Z8 series including the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold8 and Galaxy Z Flip8 will give users more ways to experience AI across productivity, content, creation and self-expression.

Through this 8th generation of foldables, Samsung is moving the category into its next chapter, one where foldables are no longer a niche choice, but a mainstream mobile experience that more consumers can confidently choose as part of their everyday lives.

As consumers in the region await the arrival of the new line-up, Galaxy Z8 Series is available for pre-order now, and will be widely available in Australia on 14 August.
