Survale Launches 2026 EmployE Employee Experience Benchmark Research and Award Program

Survale, a leading provider of talent feedback and experience management solutions, has announced the launch of the 2026 EmployE Employee Experience Benchmark Research and Award Program. This initiative builds upon the 15-year success of the company's Candidate Experience (CandE) Benchmark Research and Award Program, offering organizations a confidential, comparative, and data-driven approach to measuring and optimizing their employee experience. Unlike programs designed primarily for recognition, the EmployE program provides employers with comprehensive insights into workforce sentiment through Survale's established methodology.

Organizations participating in the program can benchmark their internal engagement, retention, and satisfaction data against global peer standards, moving beyond basic surveys to obtain actionable intelligence. Jason Moreau, CEO of Survale, stated that the launch represents a natural evolution for both the company and the industry, applying the same rigor previously dedicated to candidate experience to the entire employee journey. The program aims to provide HR leaders with validated data to build superior workplaces, improve retention, and strengthen employer brands from within.

Key features of the 2026 EmployE Program include comprehensive benchmarking at an accessible price, where organizations survey employees using Survale's guidelines to gather confidential feedback across the entire employee lifecycle. Participants receive detailed reports and one-on-one consultations with employee experience experts to identify strengths and growth opportunities. The program also incorporates Survale's exclusive Promote capability, which identifies highly satisfied employees and guides them to leave positive reviews on platforms like Glassdoor and Indeed, directly enhancing employer brand visibility.

The research delves deeper than surface-level metrics, measuring attitudes on Growth and Development, Engagement, Internal Mobility, and Manager Experience, while linking employee experience metrics to key business outcomes and trends. Kevin Grossman, VP of Research at Survale, emphasized that understanding employee experience has become a critical business imperative, noting that the EmployEs enable companies to assess their competitive standing and celebrate successes. Registration for the 2026 program is currently open, with organizations able to learn more and request information through the program's portal. This initiative reflects a growing industry focus on data-driven approaches to employee experience management, providing tools that translate feedback into strategic improvements.
