Culture Amp is an employee experience platform that combines engagement surveys, performance management, and development tools. Founded by organizational psychologists, it uses research-backed survey methodology and benchmarking data to help companies understand and improve employee engagement, retention, and performance.
Culture Amp is the analytics-driven leader in employee engagement, trusted by companies that want data-backed insights rather than surface-level pulse surveys. It competes with Lattice on performance management and with Qualtrics on enterprise surveys, positioning itself as the people science platform for mid-market and enterprise.

Culture Amp's research-backed methodology and organizational psychology expertise provide credibility that tech-first competitors lack. Academic rigor in survey design and analysis creates a trust advantage with sophisticated HR teams.
Culture Amp's benchmarking data from thousands of companies creates a data network effect. The more companies use the platform, the more valuable benchmarks become, making it harder for new entrants to compete on insights.
