23 April 2025 - Report Index Page Improvements
We’ve refreshed the Report Index Page to improve performance and bring the user experience in line with other areas of the platform.
While the core functionality remains the same, you’ll notice a few subtle enhancements aimed at helping reports load faster—especially for customers managing a large number of reports.
What’s new:
Improved load times for faster access to your reports
Updated terminology: "Current" is now "Live" to match the rest of the platform
Added metadata showing when each report was created and last updated
Refreshed filtering experience to align with other areas of Culture Amp
Note: The Report Index Page does not include date range filters or sorting—those are available on the Survey Index Page. Learn more.
16 April 2025 - Employee Timezone and Mobile Number Fields Added to Employee Data Template
We're excited to announce the addition of two new (optional) fields to the Employee Data Template: Mobile Phone Number and Timezone. These updates will help you get ready for the upcoming SMS Survey Invite notifications, which will be available to our Pilot customers starting April 29th.
What’s new?
The Employee Data Import template now includes two new columns: Mobile Number and Timezone.
The user profile view visible to admin users has been updated to display the new fields for Mobile Number and Timezone.
This update is part of our ongoing effort to enable SMS-based Survey Invite notifications, with the full feature rollout planned for later this quarter. We're giving early adopter customers a chance to import and update this data in advance to make the transition smoother. Learn more.
14 April 2025 - Demographic Columns Return to Comments Export (with RDE Enabled)
The ability to export Comments Reports with multiple demographic columns is now live in GA when RDE (Raw Data Extract) is enabled on a survey. This brings back functionality previously deprecated in October. We've listened to customer feedback and understand how valuable demographic context is—especially for large organizations making data-informed decisions. To access this, RDE must be enabled, multiple comment filters requested at survey setup, and the export can only be performed by users with the Survey Data Analyst role. Learn more.
28 March 2025 - Performance Rating Data Now Available in People Analytics!
We’ve just added a Performance Rating filter to People Analytics!
Now, you can view the most recent performance rating for each employee and apply it across all metrics and insights. This lets you easily analyze high- and low-performing employees in more detail.
With this update, you’ll gain even deeper insights into how performance impacts key factors like:
Turnover
Tenure
Median raise percentage
Leadership potential
Plus, this brings us one step closer to being a fully integrated platform, with both engagement and performance data now available in People Analytics. Learn more.
25 March 2025 - AI Comment Summaries with Multiple Filters Now in GA!
We’re excited to announce that AI Comment Summaries with Multiple Filters is now generally available! This enhancement—one of the most requested by our larger customers—allows users to apply multiple while viewing AI Comment Summaries.
Now, leaders can gain deeper, more granular insights from AI Comment Summaries across both Admin and filtered reports, as long as AI Comment Summaries and filters are enabled. Check out our AI Comment Summaries in Engagement Results article to learn more about this update.
18 March 2025 - Custom Heatmap Report Gets a Fresh Look!

13 March 2025 - Schedule Additional Reminders for Surveys
We're introduced the ability for admins to schedule additional reminders for Attributed (snapshot) type surveys like engagement before the final reminder is sent. These reminders will use the same message text and provide more flexibility in encouraging participation. Previously, only two reminders were available—the first and final reminders—but many customers have requested the option to send more. This update is a first step toward greater flexibility in survey reminders, making it easier to drive participation across your organization.

11 Feb 2025 - Enhanced Control and Feedback Options for AI Comment Comparisons in Heatmap Reports
We’re excited to announce some updates to the AI Comment Comparisons in the Heatmap—now with more granular controls for sharing and the ability to provide feedback!
What’s New?
Report Sharing Config: Previously, if you wanted to exclude AI Comment Comparisons from a shared Heatmap report, you had to disable AI Comment Summaries as well. With this update, we’ve separated the controls, so you can now toggle AI Comment Comparisons on or off without affecting the AI Comment Summaries checkbox. This improvement aligns with our AI principle of giving customers more control over their data.
Feedback: We're always refining our AI models, and customer feedback plays a vital role. Now, you can easily leave feedback by clicking the thumbs-up or down icons on any AI comment comparison. You can also copy any comment comparison to your clipboard for sharing by clicking the copy icon.
