Humu combines behavioral science with machine learning to improve employee engagement and manager effectiveness. It analyzes survey data and engagement signals, then sends personalized, timely “nudges” — small science-backed suggestions — to employees and managers to encourage better behaviors, stronger team habits, and healthier work patterns. Originally developed by former Google HR leaders, Humu is designed to turn engagement data into actual organizational change, not just reports.

Key Features:

  • AI-personalized behavioral nudges for employees and managers
  • Integration with engagement survey platforms (Glint, Culture Amp, etc.)
  • Manager effectiveness coaching via nudge recommendations
  • Real-time action tracking and impact measurement
  • Science-backed behavior change library (500+ nudge types)

Best For: HR teams and L&D leaders who want to translate engagement survey results into measurable behavior change without large training programs.
