Perceptyx's journey began in 2003 with a clear mission: to help organizations unlock the power of their people. Founded by John Borland, the company set out to redefine the employee insights industry, moving beyond simple survey tools to provide a comprehensive platform for employee listening and people analytics. From its headquarters in Temecula, California, Perceptyx started its evolution, focusing on enabling large, complex organizations to truly understand the sentiment and experience of their workforce. This dedication to providing deep, actionable insights quickly established Perceptyx as a trusted partner for some of the world's leading enterprises.
Over the years, Perceptyx has consistently innovated, expanding its technological capabilities and its team of in-house experts. The company recognized early on that listening alone wasn't enough; organizations needed a way to translate feedback into meaningful action. This led to the development of an enterprise-grade platform that combines multi-channel employee listening with AI-powered recommendations and personalized coaching. A significant milestone in Perceptyx's growth was the strategic investment from TCV Ventures, which fueled further product innovation and market expansion. The company has also grown through strategic acquisitions, such as Humu, a behavioral science pioneer, to further enhance its ability to close the gap between employee insights and tangible business outcomes. Today, Perceptyx serves over 600 global enterprises, including a significant portion of the Fortune 100, empowering them to foster inclusive cultures, improve manager effectiveness, and drive organizational development. Under the leadership of CEO Ross Wainwright, appointed in April 2024, Perceptyx continues its journey to help people and organizations thrive by making it easier for leaders to align business and talent priorities and drive positive, measurable change.
