• It helps us gauge employee engagement.
• The cost was worth the value we received.
• We loved having people scientists working with us to truly understand how to improve our work environment.

I began using Culture Amp in 2018. Our company got involved with Culture Amp because they were very similar to us in terms of how they began (as a startup) and the focus on strengthening culture and engagement. My team was in charge of keeping our culture strong and improving employee engagement from entry to exit.

• I wish they had more of a discount when you bundle services.
• I wish they would allow you to split up services based on how your department leaders would prefer to use the service.
• I wish they had a referral bonus.

I really like Culture Amp because they offer great articles and tools for no additional costs. I like that they have conferences and gatherings for people geeks to get to know each other. I like that they really try to build community among their customers through Culture First and other resources.

How large is your organization and how much money are you willing to invest in a tool. You should also get C-suite buy-in because you truly need at least three years of a commitment to be able to utilize the data and tools to the best of your ability and get a good benchmark from which to build your strategy for improvement.

They continue to acquire adjacent companies that will help provide more of a one-stop-shop for users. That really helps with selling the value to the C-suite.

Those who are truly invested in improving the company culture and keeping employees engaged. If you consider employees just a line on your balance sheet, this is not the tool for you.

The platform is easy to navigate. It offers training resources where other platforms don't, and we also like that it sets reminders as to when you should be completing upcoming tasks.

We shifted to Culture Amp from another HR platform based on a global agreement through our holding company. We have now been using it for about two years

It would be nice to see a combined set of previous goals, reflections, and 1:1 notes to refer to rather than having dig this information up. It would be great to have this view appear on a side panel that can be scrolled through so that everything is visible on a single screen.

This felt like a brighter and simpler platform. These tasks are not everyday actions for our staff so they need to be made easy to do in order to get more usage.

The number of staff that they have. How often they are required to be completing these kind of processes. The cost of the tool compared to others on the market. How can this integrate into their current HRIS programs.

I have not been using it long enough to see substantial interface changes. However, from email updates I can see that they are trying to make it more user friendly for people managers.

Large companies with 200+ staff

• The end user experience from employees' end on computers, tablets, and phones was top-notch.
• Data analytics were clear, easy to use/export, and provided clear trending vs previous years or industry benchmarks.

I utilized Culture Amp at a previous employer for 2 years before switching organizations. We migrated to this platform from a paper employee engagement survey.  Culture Amp provided great transition, resources, and tools to be successful in a manufacturing environment where many employees did not have access to a personal computer or e-mail. The end user interface was a huge selling point.

The backend side of the platform is also very strong. I loved the data analytics and how much you could compare data year over year. Culture Amp also stood out against competitors with their post survey support in the form of suggested action items and personalized training items. I loved this program so much that I immediately shared them as a vendor option with my new organization.

• There was no way to combine smaller participating groups for combined engagement data. 
• Additional modules were great (performance) but expensive compared to the current platform. 
• They had great exports for PowerPoints but I wish the templates could be customized.

I loved how Culture Amp tied in with our HRIS for demographic and contact information and was super user-friendly both as the end user and admin. The platform is advanced in ease of use compared with other platforms.

End user experience should be top of mind as if the system is complicated to access or use employees will not participate in surveys.

Ease of understanding data analytics and custom access/reports is a must. This platform is able to have custom results mass exported/delivered to leaders

It continuously adds benchmark data, training modules, and improved action items for survey results.

Organizations that need data split by site, function, and/or leader are a great fit for Culture Amp. Also, organizations that need flexibility on how users interact with the system (mobile, tablet, computer), etc., would benefit from the platform.

Lastly having an HRIS is great for system integrations but organizations can also upload user data by spreadsheet so it is not a full requirement.
