The Employee Listening Summit 2026: From Insight to Experience

September 30th, 3pm BST/ 10am EDT

From Insight to Experience: What Happens After the Survey Closes?

Your employees have spoken. What happens next?

Too often, employee feedback gets collected, analyzed and reported – only for managers to be handed a score without a clear path forward. Employees wait to see what happens next, HR chases action, and another listening cycle begins.

To challenge this, we're bringing together expert voices across HR, employee experience, and people intelligence for The Employee Listening Summit 2026. This will be a LIVE flagship event exploring how organizations can move beyond measuring engagement to understand what their people are telling them, guide meaningful action, and prove the impact of their people initiatives.

This isn't another conversation about running better surveys. It's about what comes next.

Why this event matters

Our Listening Gap report found that:

• 42% of employees believe leaders will be held accountable for acting on their feedback
• 49% of desk-based employees say they’ve seen meaningful change from the feedback they’ve given.
• While only 39% of frontline employees say they’ve seen meaningful change 

Clearly, the problem isn't a lack of data, but knowing what to do with it.

People intelligence changes the conversation – connecting employee signals with deeper understanding, guided action, and outcomes that employees, HR leaders, and the board can actually see.

Speakers and sessions

Here's the lowdown on what you can expect from the event.

Expert panel: Is Employee Listening Broken?

Why do so many listening programs fail to create meaningful change? Why does action stall once insights reach managers? How can HR prove its people initiatives are actually moving the needle? And how will AI reshape what's possible?

Join three leading voices in HR and people intelligence for an honest conversation about where employee listening is today – and where it needs to go next.

Go inside Seer, Workvivo's people intelligence platform, and see how organizations can move beyond dashboards and scores to understand employee signals, guide managers toward meaningful action, and create change employees can actually experience. 

This session's speakers:

• Jaime Gonzales – Principal People Scientist, Workvivo
• Todd Reeves – Chief People Officer, Zoom
• David Green – Managing Partner, Insight222
• Aidan O'Sullivan – Senior Solutions Engineer, Workvivo

Masterclass: From Employee Insight to Employee Experience

"Survey fatigue isn't real. Inaction fatigue is." – Alexis Fink

Collecting feedback is easy. Turning it into action – and proving that action made a difference – is much harder.

This session will be a practical masterclass on moving beyond measurement, demonstrating how attendees can use people intelligence to understand what matters, take meaningful action, and demonstrate impact.

Follow the journey from signal → understanding → action → experience → impact.

This session's speakers:

• Steven Buck – Principal People Scientist, Workvivo
• Alexis Fink – Former VP of People Analytics & Workforce Strategy, Meta
