About Us
The Problem
Aequip is a behavioural analytics platform that measures and actively promotes inclusive behaviours within companies to improve organisational health and business performance.
Disconnects between what company leaders know and what employees experience can undermine an organisations’ agility and productivity.
Adapting quickly to a rapidly changing work environment requires trust between an employee and their employer. Without it, critical issues can go unannounced and valuable ideas can be overlooked because employees may not feel safe enough to speak up.
The benefits of diversity and inclusion in the workplace are widely established and business leaders are largely committed to pursuing them. The missing part of the puzzle to date has been a reliable method to measure and promote such behaviours. The Aequip dashboard provides this solution. Aequip leverages behavioural science, so that you can monitor and promote inclusion, and add more value out of every interaction with everyone in your business. Our platform actively helps leaders and employees alike to speak up with ideas, questions, and concerns, while delivering in-app behavioural nudges that encourage inclusive, transparent, and consistent communication from all parties. Aequip’s tailored inclusion and speak-up analytics allow you to track how your organisation is progressing in real time without any additional effort, or use of long, tedious surveys.
