Overview
Culture Amp is a cloud-based employee experience platform built around engagement surveys, performance management, and employee development. Its Engage module runs engagement and lifecycle surveys with industry benchmarking and AI-driven comment analysis, while Perform handles goals/OKRs, 360 and manager reviews, and continuous feedback, and Develop adds career paths and growth plans. The platform is known for its people-science backing and analytics rather than being a full HRIS. Pricing is quote-based and not published per seat; buyers must contact sales.
The problem Culture Amp solves
HR and People teams struggle to measure engagement, run structured performance and 360 reviews, and turn survey data into action. Culture Amp addresses this with benchmarked engagement surveys, performance and development modules, and people-science-backed analytics. It is best suited to mid-market and enterprise teams, and is not a fit for those needing a full HRIS or a low-cost lightweight survey tool.
