Powered by Prism™

Prism™, our integrated AI, is built into the People Insight platform to help organisations move faster from survey results to meaningful action.

It brings together survey scores, comments, benchmarks and organisational context to surface the themes and priorities that need attention. Leaders and managers get clearer insight, practical next steps and more confidence about where to focus.

Prism™ supports human judgement rather than replacing it, helping HR teams save time while keeping decisions grounded in real employee feedback.

Trusted employee surveys for organisations everywhere

Employee surveys need to work around the reality of your organisation, not the other way around.

People Insight supports HR teams running surveys across multiple sites, regions, countries, employee groups and reporting structures. We help you protect anonymity, manage complex hierarchies and give leaders the insight they need to act.

Whether you are running one organisation-wide survey or a mature listening programme, our platform and expert support help you listen clearly, understand what matters and turn feedback into meaningful improvement.

Employee survey software that works with your tech stack

Your employee survey shouldn’t create extra admin for HR teams. People Insight can integrate with off-the-shelf and custom HRIS systems to simplify survey distribution, data management and reporting.

This makes it easier to run annual, pulse and lifecycle surveys across your organisation, keeping employee data up to date and giving leaders access to the insight they need while protecting confidentiality and anonymity.

Our team supports the setup, launch and ongoing management of your survey programme, so your technology, reporting and communications work together from the start.

Survey models for every purpose

Choose from expert-designed survey models that help you understand the most important moments and experiences across the employee journey.

Engagement

Wellbeing

D&I

Change management

Employee engagement surveys

Employee engagement surveys explore what drives motivation, commitment and performance.

Using our Pearl™ model, we help organisations understand how employees experience purpose, leadership and support, then identify clear actions that improve morale, retention and day-to-day performance.

Employee engagement surveys are particularly useful when organisations want to understand overall engagement levels, establish a baseline or focus improvement efforts across the whole workforce.

Employee engagement surveys

Employee wellbeing surveys

Employee wellbeing surveys provide a clear view of how people are coping at work.

Through our Thrive™ model, we explore workload, resilience and support, helping organisations spot pressure points early and take action that supports sustainable performance and healthier working lives.

Wellbeing surveys are most effective during periods of sustained pressure, rapid change or growth, when early insight into stress, workload and support needs is critical.

Diversity & Inclusion surveys

Diversity and Inclusion surveys reveal how inclusive the workplace feels in practice.

Using our Belong™ model, we surface differences in experience across groups, highlight barriers to fairness and belonging and support actions that strengthen inclusion, trust and employee voice.

D&I surveys are especially valuable when organisations want to understand how experiences vary across demographics and where targeted action can improve fairness and belonging.

Change management surveys

Change management surveys help organisations understand how people experience change as it happens.

Built on our Navigate™ model, these surveys track confidence, communication and support, enabling leaders to respond quickly, reduce uncertainty and guide change more effectively.

Change management surveys are best used before, during and after major change initiatives to monitor readiness, confidence and impact in real time.

Survey at the pace of your organisation

Annual

Annual surveys provide a comprehensive view of your organisation’s employee experience. By capturing feedback across key themes such as purpose, leadership and culture, they reveal the underlying drivers shaping performance, retention and wellbeing.

Running a full survey annually creates a clear benchmark for progress, helping organisations track change over time and focus improvement efforts where they will have the greatest impact.

Pulse

Pulse surveys are the perfect tool to stay close to emerging issues and track progress between larger survey cycles.

Short, focused pulses help organisations test assumptions, monitor priority areas and maintain momentum without over-surveying employees.

Lifecycle

Lifecycle surveys act as tactically timed investigations into how the employee experience changes over time, and where targeted improvements can have the greatest impact.

Powered by our platform’s HRIS integration capability, these surveys capture feedback at key moments across the employee journey, from joiners to leavers and everyone in-between.

Choosing the right employee survey provider

Choosing the right employee survey provider means looking beyond software. Whether you call it an employee survey, staff survey or company survey, you need robust technology, clear reporting, trusted methodology and expert support to help your organisation act on what employees say.

People Insight is a strong fit if you’re looking to:

Run surveys across different teams, regions and languages
Analyse results clearly and consistently

Employee survey FAQs

What is an employee survey?

An employee survey is a structured way to gather confidential feedback from employees about their experience at work. It helps organisations understand engagement, culture, leadership, wellbeing, inclusion and change, then use that insight to make better decisions and take meaningful action.

Why choose People Insight as an employee survey provider?

People Insight combines expert-designed employee survey models, global benchmarks, clear dashboards, Prism™ AI and hands-on support from experienced employee listening specialists.

We focus on helping organisations understand what their survey results mean, where to focus and how to turn feedback into meaningful improvement.

What should an employee survey include?

An employee survey should include clear questions on the areas that shape the employee experience, such as engagement, leadership, purpose, wellbeing, communication, inclusion, enablement and reward.

The best surveys are designed around your organisation’s goals, use consistent measures over time and include space for employees to explain their answers in their own words.

What should you look for in an employee survey provider?

Look for an employee survey provider or employee survey tool that combines robust survey technology with expert support. The right provider should help you design the right questions, achieve strong response rates, understand results clearly and turn feedback into practical action. You should also consider reporting quality, benchmark data, confidentiality, action planning tools, AI-supported insight and whether the provider can support leaders and managers after the survey closes.

How often should you run employee surveys?

Many organisations run a full company survey annually, supported by shorter pulse surveys throughout the year.

Lifecycle surveys can also be used at key moments, such as onboarding, exit, role changes or major organisational change. The right rhythm depends on how quickly your organisation can review feedback, communicate results and take action.

What benchmarks do you use in employee surveys?

We use global benchmark data drawn from multiple sectors, roles, demographics and organisation sizes to provide meaningful context for employee survey results.

Who designed your employee survey question models?

Our employee survey question models are developed by our in-house organisational psychologists and experienced consultants. Each model is grounded in robust research and practical experience, and can be tailored to reflect your organisation’s context, priorities and language.

Are your employee surveys anonymous?

Yes. Our staff surveys protect anonymity and meet strict data protection and security standards.

How do you make sure employee surveys are anonymous?

People Insight helps organisations protect anonymity through clear communication, minimum reporting thresholds, confidential reporting and careful survey design. This helps employees feel safer sharing honest feedback, while still giving leaders useful insight to act on.

Can People Insight support international employee surveys?

Yes. People Insight supports employee surveys for organisations with teams across different countries, regions, languages and reporting structures.

Our platform can support multilingual surveys, global benchmarks, flexible dashboards, anonymity controls and HRIS integration, helping international organisations listen consistently while still understanding local differences in employee experience.

Can your employee surveys integrate with other systems?

Yes. People Insight’s platform can integrate with both off-the-shelf and custom HRIS systems to simplify data management, survey distribution and reporting.

This is especially useful for large, complex or global organisations that need to keep employee data up to date and run surveys across different teams, regions or employee groups.

How much does an employee survey cost?

The cost of an employee survey depends on your organisation’s size, the type of surveys you run and how you want to use the platform.

Pricing is flexible and scalable, with options to suit different needs and levels of support. You can explore pricing in more detail on our plans and pricing page or plan your next company survey with our team.

How do AI-powered employee surveys work?

AI-powered employee surveys use artificial intelligence to help analyse feedback faster, identify key themes and highlight priority actions.

In People Insight’s platform, Prism™ supports leaders and managers by surfacing important patterns in survey data and helping them decide what to do next. It supports human judgement rather than replacing it.
