For People and HR leaders, L&D leaders and anyone who leads managers. If you've run an engagement survey and wondered what happens next, these 45 minutes are for you.

Why the engagement survey stopped working

Everyone knows how this goes. First, an email with the survey data cut a dozen ways. Then a slide deck, a town hall and action-planning committees. A month later, nobody mentions it again. And the company doesn't send the survey again for a year.

An entire industry exists to measure this problem. Almost none solve it. Pulse surveys and continuous listening have arrived, and the numbers aren't changing.

What you'll learn

  1. Why the survey ritual stalls

    What the managers living it already know, and why measuring more often hasn't moved the numbers.

  2. A system of action, in practice

    What a manager actually does each week when their team's trends shift, and what that looks like at scale across an organization for more effective change.

  3. A live demo, then one customized for your organization

    We'll preview how a manager or individual contributor uses Rising Team and Arti. Then we can build a custom demo, so you can see it in the context of your organization and teams.

A system of action, in three parts

We've always known what great managers do. They create trust, set clear expectations, understand different working styles, foster team collaboration and build resilience. AI now makes it possible to drive those behaviors at scale.

  1. Gather insights in real time

    Each person works privately with an AI coach like Arti and shares what's actually top of mind.

  2. See trends as they evolve

    Anonymous trends reach managers and admins right away, by level, function and location. No waiting another year for more data.

  3. Put action plans to use right away

    Arti builds a custom plan for each manager and team member, so concerns get acted on right away.

Arti suggests: "Run a 30-min team session on navigating change with your team this week."

Grounded in the context your people choose to share: by name, style, and history.

See how managers drive engagement, week by week

We'll preview a live demo of what Rising Team and Arti look like for managers and for the whole organization.
