We provide employee survey technology that talks, listens, and takes action.
Long Description

Last year in the US alone, organizations spent upwards of $10 billion dollars on employee turnover. We’ve reinvented the employee satisfaction survey to combat this problem. Our surveys talk, listen, and take action based on feedback. The technology is based on what Humaxa’s CEO witnessed during her 17 years in the human capital management industry. Data is tracked and the system offers to kick off activities that have the highest probability of improving engagement. It's as easy as clicking “start.”
