Employee engagement software that measures what matters: behavior, not surveys
Stop waiting 90 days for survey results that tell you what you already missed. Confirm's employee engagement software uses Organizational Network Analysis to show you engagement patterns in real time—before disengaged employees quit.
Surveys tell you how people felt last quarter. ONA tells you what's happening right now.
Every engagement survey follows the same pattern: you launch it, wait for responses, analyze results, identify problems, and plan interventions. By the time you take action, the situation has changed. The disengaged employee already quit. The disconnected team already fractured. The burnt-out manager already checked out.
The problem isn't the survey questions—it's the fundamental architecture. Survey-based employee engagement software measures perception with a 90-day lag. By the time you see engagement dropping, you're responding to a past problem.
Confirm measures behavior in real time. Our Organizational Network Analysis tracks collaboration patterns, network connections, and contribution visibility across Slack, Teams, email, and your work tools. When an engineer stops collaborating cross-functionally, when a manager's team stops reaching out to them, when a high performer becomes isolated—you know immediately.
This is employee engagement software for organizations that need to act before problems become crises.

Organizational Network Analysis (ONA)
Tracks who collaborates with whom across Slack, Teams, email, and productivity tools. Identifies engagement patterns, network centrality, and collaboration health without reading message content.
Engagement Risk Alerts
Detects behavioral changes that predict disengagement: declining collaboration frequency, reduced network connections, isolation from team networks, or diminishing contribution visibility.
Manager Engagement Dashboards
Gives managers real-time visibility into team engagement patterns, isolated team members, collaboration health metrics, and specific intervention recommendations.
Retention Prediction
Uses network position and engagement patterns to predict attrition risk before employees start interviewing. Identify high performers at risk and intervene early.
Team Health Monitoring
Tracks department-level engagement trends, cross-functional collaboration patterns, and team network density. Spot engagement problems at the team level before they cascade.
Integration-Native Data Collection
No additional tools required—Confirm pulls collaboration data from systems your teams already use: Slack, Teams, Gmail, Outlook, Calendar, GitHub, Jira, and more.

Employee Engagement Software FAQ
What is employee engagement software?
Employee engagement software measures how connected, motivated, and committed employees are to their work and organization. Traditional engagement software relies on quarterly surveys—by the time you see the results, it's too late. Confirm's employee engagement software uses Organizational Network Analysis (ONA) to track engagement in real time through collaboration patterns, communication networks, and contribution visibility. You see who's disengaging before they mentally check out or start interviewing elsewhere.
How is Confirm different from survey-based engagement tools?
Survey tools like Culture Amp, Peakon, and Glint show you how people feel every quarter. Confirm shows you what people do every day. Our Organizational Network Analysis tracks collaboration patterns across Slack, Teams, email, and your productivity tools. We identify isolated employees, deteriorating team connections, and engagement risk before employees disengage. When a high performer stops collaborating across teams or reduces communication with their manager, you know immediately—not 90 days later when the survey results come in.
Can Confirm replace our existing engagement surveys?
Confirm complements survey tools by adding continuous behavioral data. Many companies use both: surveys capture sentiment and perceptions, while Confirm's ONA data reveals actual behavior patterns. The combination is powerful—when survey scores drop in a department, ONA data shows you exactly which networks have weakened, which connectors have left, and where to focus intervention. You can also use Confirm standalone if you want to move away from survey fatigue and measurement theater.
How does Organizational Network Analysis measure engagement?
ONA measures engagement through collaboration patterns, network position, and contribution visibility. Engaged employees collaborate across teams, contribute to important projects, and occupy central positions in communication networks. Disengaged employees become isolated, stop cross-functional work, and fade from team networks. Confirm tracks these patterns continuously—when an employee's network metrics decline, it's an early warning signal for engagement risk or potential attrition.
What integrations does Confirm employee engagement software support?
Confirm integrates with Slack, Microsoft Teams, email systems (Gmail, Outlook), and calendar tools. We collect metadata (who collaborates with whom, when, and how often) without reading message content. Additional integrations include GitHub, Jira, Linear, and Asana for contribution tracking. All integrations follow SOC 2 Type II standards and GDPR compliance—we never read message content or store sensitive data.
How quickly can we see engagement insights after implementing Confirm?
Network baseline data appears within 7 days of integration. Meaningful engagement patterns emerge after 30 days when we have enough data to identify trends and anomalies. Risk alerts and manager dashboards are live immediately—as soon as we detect engagement pattern changes, managers get notified. Most customers see their first actionable engagement insights (high-risk employees, isolated teams, declining connectors) within 2-3 weeks.
