How it works

A short conversation. A clear next step.

Employees talk or type for 5–7 minutes and approve their summary. Leadership sees protected group findings, chooses actions and shares an update.

Set up your company in five steps.

  1. Step 1

    Set up your company

    Confirm your plan, company owner, purpose and employee information.

  2. Step 2

    Add employees

    Add the employees to include. An introduction, profile and private memory are optional.

  3. Step 3

    Choose times

    Choose monthly or weekly listening and a time window in each employee’s time zone.

  4. Step 4

    Start your first round

    Review the invitation and arrange the first launch. Saving bookings does not send invitations.

  5. Step 5

    Review results

    Review released findings, choose an action, name an owner and set the follow-up date.

Today, company creation and first-round launch are assisted by Someone. Choose a plan and send your details; we confirm setup and availability before payment. New starter check-ins are an optional employee programme, not company setup.

Step 1 of 5

What happens in each listening round

  1. Step 1 · Administrator · before the month starts

    Choose who and when.

    Add the people who will be invited. Choose this month's focus and a time window in each person's time zone.

  2. Step 2 · Employee · 5–7 minutes

    Let people tell their story.

    Employees talk or type with Sam in their chosen language. Sam asks follow-up questions about what they share. Each person chooses any personal context and approves their summary before submitting it.

  3. Step 3 · Leadership · monthly

    Choose what to change.

    Review the company pulse, recurring obstacles and the strength of the evidence. Choose a small number of actions, with an owner and a follow-up date.

  4. Step 4 · Everyone · every month

    Tell people what happened.

    Employees see what was heard and what leadership will do. The next pulse follows change. Each quarter, bring the months together for a broader review.

What would make a good workday easier?An example question from Sam, your AI guide

The conversation covers one common pulse question, two rotating topics and space for anything else that matters. Sam uses the company’s focus and what you share to ask relevant follow-up questions. You choose whether to include your own saved note.

  • Choose voice or text and your language.
  • Skip a question, pause or stop.
  • Edit and approve your summary before sharing.

Your summary

The employee checks that the summary says what they mean.

Try changing the wording or removing a detail. This example stays on this page and is not submitted.

Approval is separate from sharing a personal issue

Approved contributions can inform protected group analysis. Approving a summary does not send your conversation to your manager or open a personal case.
