What’s new from Culture Amp: Insights, intelligence, and impact at scale

At Culture Amp, we’re entering a new chapter – one that reflects our global scale, continued investment in innovation, and commitment to helping organizations unlock their people’s full potential. As we look at what’s ahead, three key themes define our product strategy: actionable workforce insights, platform intelligence, and people-powered performance.

Built for impact at every level

Organizations in nearly every country in the world use Culture Amp. Last year alone, we reached over 5 million employees. This reach isn’t just impressive – it’s impactful. Our mission has always been about creating a better world of work by enabling HR leaders to drive meaningful change.

Our platform is intentionally different. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions or generic dashboards. We combine insights with action to elevate people, teams, and the organization as a whole. Everything we build is grounded in people science, powered by people data, and designed to help HR leaders not just measure experience, but actively shape it.

The platform’s foundation: Insights, action, and assistance

Our platform is made up of four core modules – Engage, Perform, Develop, and People Analytics. They provide value independently, but they’re even more powerful together.

What really sets Culture Amp apart is that we design every capability with a framework in mind: Insight → Action → Assistance. Our goal is to reduce friction, surface the right insights at the right time, and guide people to take the best next steps, whether they’re an HR partner, a people manager, or an executive.

At the center of it all is what we call Culture Intelligence, which blends AI, people science, and organizational context to provide tailored insights and recommendations. It’s how we’re making the future of work more intelligent, adaptive, and human.

Here’s a look at some of our latest features and what’s coming soon across our people performance platform.

New in 2025: Smarter insights powered by AI

We’re building tools that meet people where they are and help them do more, faster. Examples include:

• Available now: AI-powered comment comparisons in surveys, allowing customers to compare themes between high and low engagement groups, not just generic summaries.
• Coming soon: Heatmap Explorer, an interactive tool that lets you drill into specific survey questions, trends, and comments – all from a single view.
• Coming soon: Survey-to-survey comparisons, so HR teams can track progress and identify shifts in experience without manual work.
• Coming soon: Upgraded sentiment and topic detection, using AI models trained on our unique dataset to boost accuracy and trust in results.

All of this reflects a core principle: It’s not about gathering more data, it’s about access to smarter, contextual insight that drives decision-making at scale.

Making surveys and feedback work for everyone

Engagement is only powerful when you can measure it. That’s why we’re expanding how teams can gather feedback and increase participation:

• Available now: Multiple scheduled reminders make it easier to boost completion rates without extra effort.
• Coming soon: Microsoft Teams integration enables real-time survey delivery within existing workflows.
• Coming soon: SMS surveys offer a fully mobile experience for deskless or offline workers.
• Coming soon: 11-point eNPS scale lets you match traditional Net Promoter benchmarks.
• Coming soon: Multi-demographic reporting simplifies complex analysis by combining filters like tenure, location, and team into a single view.

These features are designed to take the manual lift out of your hands and put actionable insight into them.

People Analytics: Unified, intuitive, and intelligent

We’re continuing to expand our People Analytics module to give leaders a more complete, forward-looking picture of their workforce. We’re focusing on:

• Available now: New metrics like retention, comp ratio, promotion rate, and internal mobility give you visibility into what’s working and where gaps exist.
• Available now: Cross-platform data enables deeper insights by combining engagement, performance, and demographic data in one place.
• Available now: Explore Data, our new natural-language interface, helps HR teams ask questions and surface answers – without needing to write queries or manipulate spreadsheets.
• Coming soon: Forecasting upgrades through our Scenarios feature allow for smarter, faster headcount and turnover planning based on real trends.

Our vision? A people analytics experience that is intuitive, integrated, and insights-first.

Redefining performance for a global workforce

In the performance space, we’re simplifying how organizations manage reviews and empowering managers to support growth and development with less friction. The latest updates include:

• Available now: Unified cycle setup reduces complexity and saves time
• Available now: In-cycle editing and custom emails bring more flexibility to performance reviews.
• Available now: Multilingual reviews allow companies to run performance reviews in over 190 languages, supporting global scale and inclusivity.

We’re also embedding AI into performance to make the review process faster, fairer, and more actionable:

• Coming soon: AI-generated summaries give managers and HR partners a quick, accurate overview of employee performance based on feedback and goals.
• Coming soon: AI-generated review-writing assistance helps managers craft high-quality feedback by suggesting wording and highlighting key themes.

Looking ahead, we’re doubling down on our people science foundation – helping leaders move from backward-looking evaluation to forward-looking growth and alignment.

Making 1-on-1s count

We’re also upgrading how managers and employees structure and track 1-on-1 conversations, turning them into a consistent driver of engagement, alignment, and development:

• Available now: Linked goals and feedback ensure 1-on-1s are tied to real progress, not just status updates.
• Available now: Suggested talking points give managers prompts based on recent updates, surveys, and goals.
• Available now: Shared notes and summaries keep everyone aligned and reduce repetition.

These enhancements build trust, boost accountability, and enable real-time coaching – helping to make every conversation count.

What’s next: Intelligence meets action

Culture Amp’s next chapter is about more than individual features. We’re unlocking the full value of your people data through insights, intelligence, and action.

Whether you're running engagement surveys, guiding performance conversations, or building a future-ready workforce, our people performance platform is here to help you move from admin to action and from insight to impact.
