Everest Group's independent research examines why technology-only approaches consistently underdeliver — and what distinguishes the organizations that are actually closing the gap between listening and outcomes

CHROs & VPs of HR
When executives ask why turnover is high and the listening data doesn't give you a clear answer, this research explains the structural reason — and the operating model that addresses it.

HR Operations & EX Directors
If your survey program reaches your salaried population better than your frontline, this report names that gap and what organizations with higher response rates and better data are doing differently.

People Analytics & OD Leaders
A dashboard is not a decision. This research examines how organizations move from data to action — and what infrastructure makes that possible at scale.

Finance & COE Partners Who Own Retention Costs
Retention is measurable. This framework connects employee listening directly to the outcomes finance cares about — and quantifies the cost of the gap.

Most organizations have tools. Fewer have the operating model around those tools that turns listening data into decisions that actually get implemented. Everest Group examined why that gap exists — and what the organizations closing it have built differently.

Inside: why platform-only approaches consistently fall short, what "Integrated Employee Experience Management" means structurally, and how combining technology with managed execution and advisory changes outcomes — not just dashboards.
