Frequently asked questions about employee experience platform

What is an employee experience (EX) platform?

An employee experience platform supports how work feels end to end — onboarding, feedback, recognition, communication and development — rather than a single step such as surveys alone.

What is the difference between employee experience and employee engagement?

Engagement is one component. Employee experience is broader: everything a person experiences across their whole time with your organisation.

What does an employee experience platform cost?

Pricing varies a lot by scope, typically €4–€12 per employee per month, depending on which modules you take (onboarding, engagement, recognition).
