Activate is the highly anticipated integration of behavioral science pioneer Humu , which Perceptyx acquired in 2023, into the Perceptyx Platform.

Key Points: 
  • Activate is the highly anticipated integration of behavioral science pioneer Humu , which Perceptyx acquired in 2023, into the Perceptyx Platform.

  • Employee listening programs often fail to achieve the desired organizational impact because HR leaders rely on overburdened managers to drive it.
  • For their part, managers need help knowing what to do and where to focus—often addressed via insights—but perhaps more importantly, how to take action.
