BOCA RATON, Fla., Feb. 7 -- Businesses finally have access to a powerful and easy-to-use online tool that measures how satisfied their employees really are in comparison to normative scoring data.

The JDI/JIG Research Group at Bowling Green has been actively involved for over 35 years in refining existing measures of job attitudes and developing new measures for businesses to assess job satisfaction. The Job Descriptive Index (JDI), first introduced in 1969, is recognized as the most respected and widely used measure of job satisfaction in the world. This is the first time that the scoring indexes have been released to the public for use online with automated reporting.
"Amplitude's mission is to help companies of all sizes examine and improve employee satisfaction using reliable and proven scoring indexes at affordable prices," said Birnkrant.
