Who can use this feature?

Available on:

  • All Culture Amp subscriptions that include Engagement or Effectiveness (Manager and Team Effectiveness surveys).

To support your individuals in taking action on results, we developed the Inspiration Engine to provide decision-makers and managers with community-derived and real-world tested ideas for addressing employee feedback.

Tailoring the Inspiration Engine for your company


While the power of our Inspiration Engine comes from the collective intelligence of our community, we know that many of our customers will want to tailor the Inspiration Engine for their particular company cultures. If you have a unique idea for action that you want to share with your managers, you can add this action to your Inspiration Engine. And if you feel like a specific inspiration may distract your employees from taking action (for example, an inspiration that you may not think your managers have the capacity to take on), you can hide this inspiration.

We encourage you to include references and links to your organization's resources, so that employees can easily get to the information they need to take action.
