What Zoios Does

Zoios replaces infrequent employee surveys with short, recurring pulse surveys and live people analytics. The platform analyzes quantitative and qualitative feedback, identifies emerging issues and recommends actions for leaders.

Key Capabilities

  • Employee pulse surveys through email and Slack
  • AI analysis of qualitative employee feedback
  • Root-cause attribution and ranked recommendations
  • Team engagement and strain scores
  • Benchmarks across companies, industries and team sizes
  • Automated segmentation, reminders and reporting

Why It Matters

Annual engagement surveys can reveal problems after they have already grown. Zoios is built around frequent signals, allowing leaders to spot changes in engagement, well-being and stress and connect those changes to specific themes and actions.

AI Root-Cause Analysis

Built Into Existing Workflows

Employee data can sync from HR systems while surveys and reminders can run through email and Slack. The platform supports SSO and integrations including HiBob, Personio, BambooHR, Workday and Deel.

Measured Outcomes

Zoios reports an average six-month uplift of 14% in job satisfaction and 18% in well-being, alongside a 19% reduction in work stress among customers that adopt the platform and act on its signals.

Data note: Zoios announced a €1 million Seed round in June 2024 from People’s Ventures, Y Combinator and Danish angel investors. Dealroom separately lists earlier $125K transactions in July and November 2021, while Tech.eu reports the June 2024 round as €1 million. Because public databases classify these earlier transactions differently, this profile uses €1 million as the latest publicly announced round rather than presenting a definitive cumulative funding total.
