New for 2026!
The "EmployE" Employee Experience Benchmark Research and Award Program
Benchmark Your Employee Experience
Introducing The EmployE Benchmark Research and Award Program. Coming January 2026, “the EmployEs” is an easy and accessible way for organizations to measure, understand, and optimize their employee experience. As an evolution of the acclaimed CandE Candidate Experience Benchmark Research and Award Program, the EmployEs uses a proven, data-driven methodology to provide a confidential and comprehensive look at what your employees are really thinking.
By participating you’ll get benchmark research that measures various aspects of the overall employee experience and goes deeper into attitudes about Growth and Development, Engagement and Performance, Retention and Internal Mobility and Manager Experience. The EmployE Program’s insights can help you to build a world-class workplace, improve retention, and strengthen your employer brand.
A Proven Benchmark Research Process
Just like The CandEs, The EmployE Program uses a time-tested methodology to provide a clear picture of your employee experience.
- You Survey Your Employees: Using our guidelines and a dedicated survey link, you’ll collect confidential feedback from your employees. The program is designed to gather responses from employees at all stages of their journey—from new hires to long-term team members.
- We Benchmark the Data: Your survey responses are securely and anonymously aggregated. We then benchmark your results against all other participating organizations on our Survale analytics platform.
- You Get Actionable Insights: You’ll receive a detailed report and a one-on-one consultation with our employee experience experts. This session will provide an in-depth review of your data, pinpointing your strengths and identifying opportunities for improvement.
