Workday Peakon Employee Voice offers continuous listening and AI-powered insights, blending
sentiment with HCM data to drive engagement, cultural change, and retention.
Peakon is a very simple way to get valuable feedback about your company. For very very small teams, it would be difficult to keep the results anonymous even though Peakon aggregates responses for small teams. Aside from that, it's difficult to think of a company that wouldn't benefit from such a quick, clean survey every few weeks. Especially in large companies, where leadership can start to get separated from the levels below, this sort of feedback is critical.
Peakon looks beautiful and feels very light, which is comforting when you're (potentially) giving negative feedback and feel anxious. The emails are friendly and the survey is super clean.
The surveys are very easy to navigate. You can answer as many or as few questions as you like, skipping forward and backward, and choosing to provide comments when you want. It's low pressure and feels flexible.
The HR department is able to respond to your comments. You can then have a back and forth conversation while remaining anonymous. This really helps employees further explain and contextualize their survey comments without identifying themselves personally.
Peakon is about the same price but provides much more of a CRM-like feature than Culture Amp. While both solutions have a robust survey tool, the requirements are much greater. Peakon has better dashboards, more intuitive ways of surfacing the important issues, and the ability to communicate with employees after they respond or provide comments is a game-changer. I also think Peakon's focus on how they can use the data they have available and brought back into the product for features like attrition predictor, makes Peakon a strategic tool for future planning versus a past indicator of employee engagement.
When we moved to WFH due to COVID, we use Peakon a regular basis to understand what employees are thinking. We lost the serendipity of talking to people during chance encounters in the office, Peakon has replaced those conversations.
We saw an incredible year in spite of COVID, while there are so many internal and external factors contributing to that success, we can see that having engaged and happy employees has an impact on our business. We also see what happens when they are not engaged or happy.
