Summarize open-text engagement feedback with AI
We added AI functionality to the Engagement feature that allows leaders with full results access to generate insights for open-text survey feedback.

Feature: Engagement

Following an engagement survey, HR leaders and managers often find themselves drowning in a sea of unstructured feedback, struggling to uncover meaningful insights and actionable takeaways from employee responses. With the increasing importance of understanding and improving employee engagement, it's crucial to bridge the gap between feedback and action. In response to this pressing need, we've introduced a new tool to the 15Five platform: Spark AI.
Spark AI is a first-of-its-kind assistant that allows leaders to take action on contextual recommendations and follow relevant insights. Within 15Five's Engagement feature, Spark AI can be utilized to automatically categorize and summarize open-text feedback (i.e. Dynamic, eNPS, and Custom) transforming it into actionable themes based on Engagement Drivers.
