Nobody has banned it. Nobody has arranged it.

That is how it goes in many organisations. And those are HR questions, not IT questions.

Example 1.

A recruiter summarises CVs

With a free tool. Where does the data end up?

Example 2.

A team leader has AI draft an appraisal

Is the text correct? And does everyone get the same opportunities?

Example 3.

An HR system gets an AI feature

Does it help decide about people? Then strict requirements apply from December 2027.

Example 4.

The works council asks what the policy is

And there is no policy yet.

From the white paper

AI mainly helps beginners.

Experienced people are still needed to assess the output and to teach newcomers the trade. The white paper shows what that means for work and learning, and which rules already apply.

AI policy is people policy.

AI changes tasks, roles and skills. With Deepler, you ask employees anonymously, per team, how they experience AI: what am I allowed to do, what do I need, what changes for me? That shows you where the friction is. Not by measuring emotions, but by asking.

  • Development needs per team and role
  • Guidance, pressure and opportunities in view
  • Anonymous and at group level

Trusted by small and large

Experiences of customers who make a difference with us.

    “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.”

    “The software has a positive impact on us as a rapidly growing organization. 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.”
