Calculate Your
AI-Powered EX Outcomes

These results are based on benchmark data from Perceptyx customers, industry research, and Perceptyx engagement and retention research (to be published soon). Your organization’s results estimate the potential value achievable by expanding employee action through the Employee Activation Agent.

• Increase in Employee Action
  Organizations using Activate see at least a 36% increase in employees taking action aligned with feedback and organizational goals.

• Improvement in Engagement & Performance
  Targeted action drives measurable gains, with a 1 percentage point improvement in engagement and a 4 percentage point improvement in performance areas most relevant to your business.

• Reduction in Turnover
  Higher engagement improves retention. Each 1-point increase in engagement corresponds to a 0.66-point reduction in turnover. On average, Perceptyx customers see a turnover reduction of at least 3.5%.

• Financial Savings and Gains
  Financial impact is calculated using your organization’s employee count, average salary, and turnover rate.

Savings result from reduced turnover costs and gains from improved performance, translating engagement and action into measurable business value.

This calculator is based on Perceptyx research with customers measuring the impact of action initiatives powered by AI Agents such as the Employee Activation Agent, combined with established industry benchmarks. It shows how enabling employee action-taking at a much broader scale through AI-supported planning, nudges, and coaching for all employees leads to measurable improvements in engagement, retention, and performance compared to traditional manager-driven action planning.

Traditional Value represents the return organizations typically see from employee experience programs that rely on managers to interpret survey results and create action plans manually. These programs can improve engagement, retention, and performance, but outcomes vary depending on how consistently managers follow through.

Perceptyx Value reflects the added impact of using Perceptyx’s AI-driven activation capabilities. Instead of relying on manual manager follow-up, Activate uses AI to automate and scale action taking across the organization. This approach aligns with the Perceptyx People Insights Model, which connects every stage of listening, including asking, analyzing, and acting, to ensure insights lead to measurable business outcomes. By empowering more employees to take targeted, meaningful action, Perceptyx drives higher engagement, lower turnover, and greater overall impact.

The model reflects a simple cause-and-effect chain: when more employees take meaningful action on feedback, they influence outcomes that matter most to the organization. These may include engagement, retention, manager effectiveness, performance, safety, well-being, or inclusion, depending on the goals of the listening program.

By combining these relationships, the calculator translates expected improvements in engagement, retention, and performance into measurable business value. The result is a directional estimate of potential ROI grounded in both real-world research and the observed impact achieved by Perceptyx customers.

The calculator provides a directional estimate of potential return. Every organization is unique, and results depend on factors such as engagement levels, leadership participation, and cultural readiness for change. This model offers a data-driven starting point for understanding the potential value of broadening action-taking across your workforce. While the ROI calculator results are based on Perceptyx proprietary data sets, results are not guaranteed and are subject to individual use case, organizational context, and application of best practices.

To receive an organization-specific and narrowly-tailored calculation, connect with a Perceptyx consultant. Using your actual workforce data (e.g., turnover rates, average salaries, engagement results, improvement goals, and key KPIs) they’ll build a customized ROI model. This deeper analysis captures both potential cost savings and revenue gains associated with an engaged, high-performing workforce, reflecting your organization’s structure, priorities, and potential value from activating employee feedback at scale.

Traditional programs often stop after collecting feedback, leaving managers to create and execute plans manually. Our research shows that this follow-through rarely occurs. The activation approach extends the value of listening by helping both leaders and employees turn insights into targeted, scalable action. These actions improve engagement, retention, performance, and other key business outcomes. The comparison highlights the additional ROI unlocked when goal-driven action becomes part of every employee’s workflow.

Use the calculator as a starting point for impact discussions. Adjust the inputs to reflect your organization’s size, turnover, and improvement goals. The results can help you frame the business case for investing in the Activate capabilities of Perceptyx and exploring a tailored ROI analysis with our team.
