Perceptyx
AI-powered employee listening and people insights platform for enterprise HR teams
About Perceptyx
Perceptyx is an enterprise-grade employee listening and workforce analytics platform that helps large organizations collect, analyze, and act on employee feedback. The platform goes beyond traditional annual engagement surveys to offer continuous listening across multiple channels including census surveys, pulse surveys, lifecycle surveys, crowdsourcing, 360-degree feedback, and real-time dialogue tools. At the core of Perceptyx is an advanced analytics engine that applies machine learning and data science to surface the key drivers of employee engagement, motivation, and retention. HR leaders and managers can segment results by department, demographics, or team to get a nuanced view of what's driving or hindering workforce performance. The platform's Cultivate product provides AI-powered coaching nudges to help managers take action on feedback. Perceptyx is purpose-built for large enterprises with 1,000+ employees that need robust reporting, action planning workflows, and the ability to run complex listening programs at scale. It integrates with HRIS systems and supports single sign-on, with surveys accessible via email, SMS, or mobile devices.
