This award-winning AI agent takes feedback and turns it into personalized action plans, coaching, and nudges — working continuously to build stronger habits across your workforce and deliver measurable business outcomes.

The $6 Billion Problem

Organizations spend billions on employee experience technology each year. Most see no impact.

Your surveys aren't failing. Your action planning is.

From Insight to Action, Instantly

From Insight to Action, Instantly

Activate automatically analyzes survey results and generates prioritized action plans, pinpointing critical areas like retention, engagement, and team performance. No more managers staring at dashboards wondering what to do.

Behavioral Science That Actually Works

Behavioral Science That Actually Works

Forget one-and-done action plans. Activate sends personalized nudges through Slack, Teams, email, or mobile. These aren't reminders — they're science-backed suggestions for how to take action, turning good intentions into lasting habits.

Everyone Gets a Coach

Everyone Gets a Coach

Not just managers. Every employee receives personalized guidance to build skills like collaboration, psychological safety, and accountability. When feedback shows a trust issue, everyone gets coaching — not just the manager trying to fix it alone.

  • “Our goal was to support leaders in continuously using data from employees to drive and shape actions that lower attrition, drive engagement, and increase productivity. So far, we’ve seen 83% of our AI recipients engaging with intelligent nudges to enhance the employee experience through customized suggestions and small steps leaders can implement immediately. I’m not surprised we’ve exceeded the benchmark; it’s a great tool that encourages Leidos leaders to take specific action based on employee feedback.”

    Marirose Ziebarth, Director of Leadership and OD, Leidos
  • “The innovative integration of AI and nudge theory perfectly complements our broader listening strategy, enabling us to transform employee feedback into meaningful, visible change at every level. A standout benefit is the ability to align nudges not only with our listening results but also with our strategic goals and desired behaviors, guiding our teams to focus on actions that propel our business forward.”

    Katie Murray, Director, Global Employee Experience, PageGroup
  • “We are excited to introduce Activate as part of our results reporting and action planning process this year, turning a “check-the-box” exercise into an AI-assisted experience that makes it easier for managers and their teams to take action on feedback, without adding work to their plates.”

    Dan Fiedler, Director, Employee Engagement, Comcast
