Where Insight Becomes Clear and Actionable

Exploration and Discovery
"We don't know why our scores are dropping."
Surfaces the why behind scores through open dialogue before issues escalate.

Nuanced Experiences
"Scores look fine, but something feels off."
Captures the perception and interpretation that data scales miss, so leaders target interventions instead of running broad programs.

Key Milestones
"We're losing people at onboarding."
Conversational listening at candidate onboarding, promotion, return from leave, new manager, anniversary, and exit identifies the friction driving early attrition.

Change
"We're mid-transformation with no sense of how employees feel."
Continuous signals surface emerging risks and friction between survey cycles during M&A, restructures, and other major business transitions.
Where Conversations Have Outcomes
Follow-up questions are generated from each employee’s unique response. When an employee says communication has been unclear, the agent asks further questions that surface root causes.
Conversation listening can be accessed from Microsoft Teams, Slack, or email. No new login, no separate platform, no survey link to click and forget.
Scaled items sit alongside conversational dialogue in one experience, preserving trend and benchmark data while capturing the qualitative context that explains the scores.
The agent adapts to the language each employee speaks, producing representative data across global populations.
Conversations feed directly into Perceptyx reporting, the Narrative Analysis Agent for theme detection, and Activate for action planning.
A built-in progress indicator shows employees where they are and what's ahead, reducing fatigue and supporting higher completion rates.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. It complements existing surveys rather than replacing them. Scaled items stay available inside conversational experiences, which preserves benchmark and trend data while capturing the qualitative context that explains the scores.
The Conversational Listening Agent is structured, validated listening grounded in behavioral science. It generates follow-up questions based on what each employee actually says, not from a predetermined decision tree. Every conversation explores experiences in depth rather than collecting surface-level responses.
Conversations are currently delivered via web browser, with Microsoft Teams and Slack integration coming soon.
The Conversational Listening Agent is built on the People Insights Model and grounded in 20+ years of behavioral science research and benchmarked employee experience data. Conversations are structured and validated, designed to explore specific topics with adaptive follow-up rather than open-ended generation.
Every conversation feeds directly into Perceptyx reporting, the Narrative Analysis Agent for theme detection, and Activate for immediate action planning.
