People science is the practice of examining how people think, feel, behave, and learn – and it’s embedded into everything we do for you.

Our approach

We work with you to identify the best way to ask survey questions, create strategies for collecting feedback, and sift through data to make impactful decisions. We also educate on the principles of telling stories with data and linking employee feedback data to key business metrics.

Evidence-backed

We combine peer-reviewed literature with field experience and customer insights to craft recommendations that acknowledge the complexity of contemporary workplaces. We know that even the slightest ambiguity can derail survey results, so a rigorous approach is vital.

Always innovating

We make hypotheses, test them, learn, and iterate to bring you the best methodologies for collecting data you can trust.

Positive growth mindset

We believe in approaches that will engage and develop your people to improve business outcomes.

Thought partnership

Our customers enjoy unrivaled support, education, and upskilling from some of the world’s brightest minds in people science.

A window into regrettable attrition
