Hr Analytics, Workforce Management
PRnewswire | July 10, 2023
Lattice, the leading talent management suite that powers high-performing cultures, today released six new specialized survey templates co-developed with leading people-centric organizations across the HR industry. Designed by some of the top organizations across HR with specialized expertise in critical people management challenges, these highly targeted templates can uncover deeper insights into specialized topics that are closely tied to employee engagement and growth, including manager effectiveness, change management, DEIB, and more.
Employee engagement surveys are one of the most effective ways for people leaders to understand and act on the needs of their employees, enabling a deep dive into feedback on a wide range of topics that can offer a holistic view of the employee experience. However, often surveys will end up uncovering challenges around more specialized topics such as DEIB or change management, which ultimately require more nuanced questions to get at the actionable insights that will drive positive change.
"The reality is that the current economic environment, changing business needs, and employee sentiment will continue to present new challenges for people leaders to navigate. Surveys built to support specific HR needs are critical in being able to respond with agility," said Dave Carhart, VP of Lattice's People Strategy Group. "Targeted surveys, when done right, can allow you to dig into a particular focus area and draw out the depth and nuance of understanding required to drive tangible organizational change."
Each new survey template follows survey-methodology best practices and includes administration guidance and customized action steps for leaders to implement to improve their scores in specific areas. The new templates address a number of critical areas and include:
Performance Management developed with Hone
Career Pathing developed with HRSG
Manager Effectiveness developed with LifeLabs Learning
Change Management developed with livingHR
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging developed with Peoplism
Learning & Development developed with PuzzleHR
"DEIB is a mission-critical area for HR, but often organizations approach DEIB with a string of one-off efforts, chosen haphazardly. This leads to frustrated employees and people leaders who don't have any tangible improvements to show from all their hard work," said Amber Madison, co-founder of Peoplism. "You can take a much more strategic approach by using a DEIB survey to identify your organization's biggest pain points, and then engage in targeted initiatives to improve them. That's what will lead to meaningful DEIB improvements that you can measure over time."
The new survey templates are now available for Lattice Engagement customers, and Lattice has made questions from five of the surveys available completely free in Lattice's Resources for Humans Templates Library.
Lattice's employee engagement offering enables People leaders to constantly collect feedback with engagement, onboarding, exit, Pulse, and eNPS surveys. Results from each survey are then automatically analyzed to surface key themes and recommended action steps to improve your employee experience and build the culture you want.

Employee Experience, Employee Benefits
GlobeNewswire | August 03, 2023
Perceptyx, the leading employee listening and manager effectiveness platform, has acquired Humu, a technology company that uses science-based ‘nudges’ to influence positive behavior change and improve business performance.
Hundreds of large enterprises already use Perceptyx to capture employee insights and identify the right next steps to deliver an exceptional employee experience aligned with their most important business outcomes. But a pervasive challenge remains: how to activate this wealth of people insights to successfully drive action and influence positive change at all levels of the organization. For many, the burden of creating, executing, and measuring post-listening action plans falls to middle managers, a population already suffering from increased workplace anxiety and burn-out.
To address this challenge, Perceptyx will integrate Humu’s extensive library of behavior nudges in its People Insights Platform, allowing organizations to deliver personalized nudges to both leaders and employees, customized to the behavior each individual or team wants to improve. Perceptyx will be the first company to enable a "nudge" process that engages the entire workforce to take action and make work better.
“Listening tells you what employees need — what makes them feel energized and engaged. However, HR leaders have always struggled to see consistent and effective action by managers on those insights. We believe AI is the key to solving that problem at scale. By adding Humu’s ground-breaking nudge technology to our AI-powered platform, we can help all employees influence positive change at every level, improving both the employee experience and business results,” said Perceptyx CEO John Borland.
Co-founded by former Google HR chief Laszlo Bock, Humu pioneered the use of behavioral science to deliver short, actionable recommendations that influence, or “nudge”, positive behavior. Research has shown that these micro-moments are highly effective at turning intentions into action, creating an environment for success. In fact, Humu’s customers have reported that 81% of employees made lasting behavior changes and companies reported a 3x improvement in financial performance.
Employee listening may reveal issues with front-line worker well-being or poor decision-making by people leaders. Solving these problems requires far more than a read-out of the survey findings or a series of isolated change initiatives. It demands consistent and ongoing behavioral change at every level. By combining Perceptyx's AI engine with Humu's nudge content, tailored and targeted nudges can be delivered to the right employees and managers at the right moment through the most effective channel. This will instantly influence their behaviors in the flow of work.
“Organizational change doesn’t happen all at once. It takes time, repetition, and ideally, hyper-personalized, contextually relevant recommendations only possible with AI,” said Scott Chancellor, CEO of Humu. “By combining Humu’s nudge science with Perceptyx’s innovative AI platform, it will be possible to deliver those specific recommendations to hundreds of thousands of employees across an organization to solve unique challenges.”
As the only provider focused exclusively on employee insights and action, Perceptyx has consistently invested in optimizing every step of the employee listening process. It pioneered the concept of continuous listening via a wide range of survey formats (pulse, always-on, lifecycle, crowd-sourced) and channels. It leverages AI to analyze and understand nuances in thousands of employee comments to identify appropriate actions. And with the launch of Cultivate Intelligent Coaching, it harnessed proprietary NLP and behavioral models to analyze employee-manager interactions to deliver personalized manager coaching at scale. Now, with the acquisition of Humu, Perceptyx is building on these capabilities to connect yet another dot: delivering precise and impactful guidance to every employee to drive the behavioral change needed. The deal closes the gap between signal and action in the employee experience.
“Humu pioneered the idea of using nudges for employee development, training, and well-being support,” said Josh Bersin, global industry analyst and CEO of The Josh Bersin Company. “By incorporating this technology and content into its employee listening platform, Perceptyx can deliver a whole new way to drive change in an organization, effectively closing the loop between feedback and action.”
About Perceptyx
Since its founding in 2003, Perceptyx has been redefining employee experience, delivering enterprise-level employee listening and manager effectiveness solutions to more than 600 customers, including one-third of the Fortune 100. With an unrivaled technology platform and a proven approach, the Perceptyx platform makes it easy for managers, HR executives, and business leaders to discover insights deep within organizations to drive meaningful action that improves business outcomes. Driven by a deep intellectual curiosity and a culture of innovation, Perceptyx is challenging the status quo — to help people and organizations “see the way forward.”
