Perform better by listening better

Deepler doesn’t come from the world of surveys, but from change management. We saw good plans fail because the people who had to make them work were not heard. That is why we build software that turns listening into action.

It started with change programmes that stalled

Deepler was founded in 2021 by four change managers. In change programmes we kept seeing the same thing: the strategy was clear and the plan was in place, but on the shop floor it never got off the ground. Around 70% of changes in organisations fail due to a lack of support among employees.

It was rarely a lack of willingness. Employees were often the first to see where things were stuck, but that knowledge reached the decision-makers too late or not at all. And if there was a survey, the report ended up in a drawer.

We wanted to do something about that. Not with yet another questionnaire, but with a way of working in which listening and acting come together. In our very first year we pitched Deepler at Web Summit in Lisbon and landed our first assignment with a large multinational.

An organisation only truly performs when leaders and employees know what the other needs. That starts with listening, and it only works if you act on it.

Our vision

Organisations perform better when they listen better: to employees, to teams and to what happens between people. And when they act on it straight away.

Our mission

Turning listening into action, so that every voice contributes to better performance.

What we believe in

Three convictions from our time as change managers. You will find them in everything we do and develop.

Listening without action costs trust

Every question you ask creates an expectation. That is why follow-up is built into everything we make: AI that suggests concrete actions to managers, and working groups that take on improvements themselves.

The shop floor often already knows

Employees see sooner than anyone where things are stuck. We make sure that knowledge reaches the decision-makers quickly, without anyone having to read a thick report.

Change needs support

Change imposed from above rarely lasts. When people have a say and help build it, it becomes their change. That is how it sticks.

What you can expect from us

Every organisation and every manager has different drivers. That is why we don’t promise one thing, but six.

Results you can prove

Better performance is the goal, so we also measure whether it works. Repeat measurements show per team and over time what your improvement actions deliver.

Fast from insight to action

Employees respond in two minutes, the results appear straight away in your dashboard and AI suggests concrete actions to managers. No more waiting months for a report.

Careful and reliable

Scientifically grounded questions, anonymity you can explain and data that stays GDPR compliant within the EEA. With a clear approach in fixed steps.

Every voice counts

Every employee gets questions that fit their work and sees what happens with their input. That way everyone feels heard, including the quieter colleagues.

A familiar face by your side

You work with a Deepler expert who gets to know your organisation, from the set-up to interpreting the results with your management team. More than 400 employers went before you.

Room for innovation

Four suites you combine into what your organisation needs, on a platform that grows with new questions. That is how you build an organisation that keeps learning.

From smart questionnaire to platform

What started as a smart questionnaire has grown into a platform with four suites: Deepler Research for employee and customer research, Deepler 360 for leadership and development, Deepler Journeys for the entire employee journey and Deepler Culture for organisational culture. More than 400 employers now work with it.

Our roots in change management have remained. A Deepler expert helps with the set-up, interprets the results together with management or teams and guides the improvement. Software and people, because a tool alone changes nothing.

We don’t believe in annual reports that disappear into a drawer. Organisations that truly want to grow listen continuously and act immediately.

    “Recently, I used Deepler to arrive at an EVP. Great what they were able to achieve in a short time! In a period of two weeks, we collected information and were able to continue with our AMC plan. In any other situation, it takes weeks, if not months, to get this done. Contact is good, friendly and constructive. Very nice club to work with.”

    “Ideal tool and company to gain more and better insight into the organization and employees as an organization! And especially with speed! For us, it was also the need to get tools for the topics of retention, to prevent future absenteeism or turnover. I also have experience with other parties and I sincerely value the speed of switching, follow-up and personal contact with Deepler. Absolutely recommended.”

    “Deepler is a great tool for continuously collecting feedback from our employees. This input is then centrally available for us as management, but also for managers who benefit from it.”

    “What makes Deepler special is that it doesn’t get stuck in numbers. It helps you immediately understand where it is and what teams need. For us, this ensured that employees themselves came up with areas for improvement and took responsibility for them. The insights were sharp and useful, but most importantly: the conversation that started afterwards made the difference. Thanks to Deepler, we didn’t get a paper plan, but change that was supported by the people themselves.”

By better understanding what is going on in the workplace and what people offer as solutions for improvements, we can make more effective decisions. The platform helps us to gain real-time insight and to respond directly to it via the tool.”
