Perceptyx continues to connect workforce insight, behaviour change and development in one AI-powered system
[London, UK], 15 October 2026 – Perceptyx, the People Activation company and employee experience (EX) pioneer used by more than 23 million employees across the world’s biggest enterprises, is positioned as a Strategic Leader in the 2026 Fosway 9-Grid™ for Talent & People Success, marking the seventh consecutive year the company has received this rating.
The Fosway 9-Grid™ provides an independent assessment of talent and people success technology available to organisations in EMEA, evaluating vendors across Performance, Potential, Presence, Total Cost of Ownership and Trajectory. Strategic Leaders combine broad, sophisticated capabilities with strong market performance and customer advocacy, supporting the needs of large, complex organisations.
“AI is creating new opportunities to connect employee listening with action and people development,” said David Wilson, CEO and Founder of Fosway Group. “For organisations, the value lies in helping managers act on feedback and build the behaviours and capabilities that improve performance. Perceptyx’s Strategic Leader position reflects its market performance and its ability to support complex enterprise needs.”
Perceptyx continues to advance its People Activation System, bringing employee listening, action and development together in one AI-powered platform. Built on a shared data foundation, the system helps organisations understand what employees experience, identify the behaviours that matter most, and build the skills and capabilities needed to improve performance. Rather than treating employee feedback, organisational action and learning as separate activities, Perceptyx connects them in a continuous system designed to turn insight into measurable progress.
“Being named a Strategic Leader for the seventh consecutive year is meaningful because the needs of our customers are evolving, and we’re evolving with them,” said Lindsay Davidson, GM EMEA and Global Head of Partnerships at Perceptyx. “Organisations need more than a way to collect employee feedback. They need to turn what they learn into sustained action, help people build the capabilities to succeed, and understand whether those efforts are making a difference. Our People Activation System connects those pieces, helping organisations activate the power of their people.”
Recent innovation has expanded the People Activation System beyond the core platform, giving organisations new ways to build AI grounded in workforce intelligence. Launched in September 2026, Perceptyx Anywhere gives organisations new ways to build custom AI applications powered by workforce intelligence, evaluate how effectively AI models interpret employee feedback, and use workforce-specific predictive models to uncover insights and anticipate outcomes. Through its MCP server and APIs, Perceptyx Anywhere also makes workforce insights and action-planning capabilities accessible within the AI applications organisations use and build, connecting a deeper understanding of their people to the systems and decisions that shape business performance.
As organisations move from experimenting with off-the-shelf AI tools to building their own AI-powered experiences, the quality and context of workforce data become increasingly important. Perceptyx brings the science of understanding people into this shift, helping organisations connect what AI learns from employee feedback to the behaviours, capabilities and decisions that influence business performance.
