Perceptyx FAQ

Perceptyx is built for large-scale employee experience programs that need to go beyond measurement. While other platforms stop at dashboards and insights, we combine multi-channel listening with AI agents that take action. Our platform unifies feedback collection with guided action. Employees and managers get personalized nudges and coaching directly in their workflow. This means insights turn into behavior change, not just reports. Organizations see real results: lower turnover, higher engagement, measurable performance improvements.

We focus on mature listening practices that actually work. This means diverse listening channels that capture the full employee experience, rapid insight-to-action cycles measured in days not months, agility to adjust strategies based on what you learn, and strong integration between listening and business outcomes. While most platforms merely give you data, we drive organizational transformation.

Humu brought us 2,000+ behavioral nudges that we've integrated and expanded within our AI agent suite. These behavioral nudges deliver personalized recommendations that drive action at scale. Knowing what needs to change is one thing but actually changing it is another. Nudge recipients are 32% less likely to leave their jobs and managers see 40% performance improvements.

Start with multi-channel listening through Discover and our AI Agents. Combine surveys, pulses, lifecycle touchpoints, conversational AI, and crowdsourcing. Real-time analytics unite all feedback in one platform. Then our AI agents translate insights into action through personalized guidance, nudges, and coaching embedded in daily work. This creates a continuous loop where feedback leads to change, not just more surveys.

Continuous listening means gathering employee feedback ongoing, not just at annual survey time. Organizations can respond in real time to changing needs, emerging issues, and opportunities as they happen. Compare it to monitoring your company's health daily versus taking its temperature once a year.

Measure engagement through continuous listening across multiple channels including surveys, lifecycle events, and conversational feedback. But measurement alone doesn't improve anything. Engagement improves when every employee gets personalized guidance, nudges, and support embedded in their daily work. This ensures change is measurable and sustained across the entire organization, not just in pockets.

Traditional surveys required managers to interpret reports, connect insights to goals, and manually build action plans. Most never did it. With our Activate agent, managers get automated action planning, behavioral nudges, and embedded coaching. This engages the entire workforce in improvement, not just the 20% of managers who were already good at action planning.

After collecting feedback through multi-channel listening, AI pinpoints the most impactful actions and automatically creates tailored plans. Nudges and personalized coaching embed directly into Teams, Slack, and email to guide execution. This ensures continuous, measurable progress instead of one-time action plans that get forgotten.

Managers get survey results translated into clear prioritiesthrough AI-powered analysis. Instead of raw data, they see targeted recommendations for high-impact areas. By involving employees in action planning and receiving ongoing nudges, managers improve team performance and accountability without becoming data analysts.

Our Employee Activation Agent turns survey results into prioritized, science-backed action plans automatically. Managers receive personalized nudges and coaching that guide them through implementation. This means feedback quickly becomes measurable behavior change and performance improvement, not another forgotten initiative.

AI powers our platform to analyze feedback, surface themes, and recommend targeted actions. This moves organizations from insight to impact faster. Through conversational listening, narrative analysis, and employee activation via nudges and coaching, AI helps leaders and managers drive meaningful, measurable change. The goal is augmenting human ability to act rather than displacing or replacing humans.

AI transforms surveys from static reports into continuous drivers of change. It analyzes feedback across channels, identifies impactful actions, and creates tailored action plans. Through our Activation Agent, managers receive contextual guidance and behavioral prompts in their workflow. Advanced text analysis uncovers patterns in open feedback. This closes the loop between feedback and action, creating sustained improvements at scale.

The platform analyzes engagement feedback to identify focus areas that matter most. It then creates action plans reinforced by nudges and coaching personalized to each employee. This seamless support empowers leaders to drive behavior change, ensures follow-through, and engages the workforce at scale to turn feedback into measurable improvements.

AI bridges the gap between collecting feedback and driving action. It analyzes data to uncover themes, sentiment, and priorities, then creates personalized action plans for teams and individuals. Through behavioral nudges, embedded coaching, and predictive analytics, AI guides specific behaviors that improve engagement. This makes strategies proactive, scalable, and effective while ensuring feedback leads to sustained impact.

Perceptyx offers extensive customization for both surveys and dashboards. Design surveys with custom or benchmarked questions, brand them with your identity, and configure for different roles, geographies, and languages.

Perceptyx connects directly to core employee data sources to streamline survey deployment, analysis, and action planning.

Perceptyx measures DEIB through four pillars: Belonging, Authenticity, Opportunity, and Fairness. Surveys identify experience gaps across demographic groups. AI-powered action planning and nudges then drive targeted change to foster inclusive culture. The focus is creating environments where everyone can succeed based on data-driven insights.

Platforms like Perceptyx provide tools to measure the diversity spectrum, equitable actions, inclusive behaviors, and belonging outcomes across the organization. By combining surveys, lifecycle feedback, and text analysis, we uncover experience gaps across demographic groups. This helps leaders drive targeted, systemic change based on data, not assumptions.

Measure DEIB by combining surveys, lifecycle feedback, and open-text analysis to understand how employees experience inclusion, belonging, equity, and fairness across demographics. Customizable dashboards and AI analysis identify gaps, compare results across populations, and guide targeted actions to strengthen inclusive culture.

Regularly measure sentiments like belonging, authenticity, and fairness. Embed insights into culture, leadership accountability, and business outcomes to sustain DEIB initiatives. Adjust language to maintain momentum. For example, emphasizing "belonging" can help in challenging environments. The key is making DEIB measurable and actionable instead of aspirational.
