Onboarding feedback with Wes
First 90 days feedback
What to expect

You're cold-calling Marcus Lee, Head of Sales at a mid-sized company. He's naturally curious and will engage if something sounds relevant, but he won't commit to a meeting without a clear, concrete reason it's worth his time. Your goal: earn his attention, get past any brush-off, and book a follow-up meeting.

Turn employee surveys into real conversations

A conversation tells you far more than a form, but HR can't speak to everyone. Survey Sessions gives you conversation depth at survey scale.

INTERACTIVE AVATARS

Interview every employee with Interactive Avatars

An Avatar runs the onboarding, pulse, or exit conversation for you, so you hear from far more of your team, not just those who fill in a form.

Adaptive follow-up

Follow up on what people actually say

When someone says onboarding was rocky, the Avatar digs into what went wrong until the real story is clear. You set how deep it probes on each question.

insights

Get a research report from every response

The key themes and sentiment across your whole workforce land in a report you can take straight to a leadership review. It reads as a standalone research report and exports to PDF.

DRILLDOWN

Read and replay any response

Drill into an individual employee's session to read their answers as a transcript, with audio playback to hear how they feel in their own words.

ENTERPRISE-READY

Deploy with enterprise-grade security and compliance

Everything your security team needs, already in place: SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, 27701, and 42001, GDPR compliant, SSO and SCIM.

Exit interviews

Give every employee an exit interview instead of a form, and hear the real reason people go, so you can stop losing others the same way.

Manager feedback

Give employees a candid channel to share how they are being managed, and see what is working and what is not across your leaders.

Pulse and NPS follow-up

Add the open-ended "why" behind your engagement or pulse score, without replacing the tool you track it in.

FAQs

What is a Survey Session for employee feedback?

Survey Sessions is a conversational survey. An Interactive Avatar asks your questions, listens, and follows up on what each employee actually says. For employee feedback, that gives you the depth of a real onboarding, exit, or pulse conversation at the scale and cost of a form, with every response rolled up into structured insight.

How is Survey Sessions different from our engagement or pulse survey?

A pulse survey gives you a score. Survey Sessions gives you the reason behind it. Pulse and engagement tools are great at tracking how people feel over time, but a form can't ask a follow-up, so you never learn why the number moved. Survey Sessions captures that open-ended "why", and it is built to work alongside your existing tool, not replace the tracking.

What do employees experience?

They join a short conversation with an Avatar that asks your questions and reacts to their answers. The current question shows on screen with a progress indicator, so they always know where they are. There is nothing to install and nothing to set up. They just talk, and because they are talking rather than typing, most people say far more than they would ever write in a comment box.

How do I create an employee survey?

Describe what you want to learn (say, why new joiners disengage in month one) and the Assistant builds the survey for you. Or build it yourself: set the goal, add your questions, and choose how deep the Avatar follows up on each one.

How do I see the results?

Every response lands in a single table you can export to CSV. On top of that, an AI report summarizes the key themes and sentiment across everyone who took part, exportable as a PDF. And you can open any individual conversation to read the full transcript or hear it in the employee's own words.

What can I use Survey Sessions for?

Onboarding check-ins, exit interviews, skip-levels and manager feedback, milestone conversations at promotions or role changes, and the open-ended "why" behind an engagement or pulse score. Anywhere you would want to interview an employee to understand them but can't interview everyone, it fits.

Does it replace our engagement or pulse platform?

No. Survey Sessions is built to capture the open-ended "why" those platforms can't, not to replace the tracking itself. Keep measuring engagement where you do today, and use Survey Sessions to understand what is driving the numbers.

Does this replace talking to employees directly?

No. Survey Sessions is for the feedback you can't gather one to one with everyone, like hearing from every new joiner or every leaver. It complements the real conversations managers and HR have with their people, it does not replace them. The point is to surface what people are thinking so those human conversations can be better informed.

How Survey Sessions this different from a chatbot?

A general chat tool can improvise, but it won't run your defined survey, stay inside your goals, or hand back structured themes and sentiment across your whole workforce. And employees talk to a lifelike Avatar, not a text box, so it feels like being heard rather than processed.

Is it secure and compliant for enterprise use?

Yes. Survey Sessions runs on the Synthesia platform, which is enterprise-ready with SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, 27701, and 42001 certification, GDPR compliance with EU data residency, and SSO and SCIM for access control. It is the same platform trusted by 90% of the Fortune 100.
