Outlined below are new features or updates made to the platform with the most recent at the top of the page.
New & Improved Comment Analysis with AI Summaries
July 2025
This release introduces major enhancements to Comment Analytics, including AI-powered summaries of open-ended feedback, dynamic topic detection with AI-generated topic summaries, an interactive topic cloud, and sentiment scoring to quickly gauge overall tone. These updates leverage a new large language model using GPT Open AI and advanced natural language processing, delivering faster, more accurate insights for easier analysis and sharing.
Share Action Plans with others under the same Data Level or Survey Level Access
June 2025
With this update, platform users who share the exact same data-level or survey-level access within their organization can now view each other’s action plans. For example, if a user has access to Department A at Location B, any other user with that same access will be able to view their action plans—and vice versa. This is a one-to-one relationship: only users with identical access levels can see each other’s plans. Access remains view-only; users cannot edit or modify plans created by others. Client admins with full platform access will continue to have visibility into all action plans across the organization.
Export Matrix and Engagement Charts Directly to Excel
May 2025
Users can now export Matrix and Engagement charts directly to Excel with a single click. Located in the top right corner of the chart is a download button. With one click an export will be downloaded directly to your browser.
This new functionality supports deeper analysis and easier sharing of insights with your team. Each export delivers a clean, well-formatted Excel file that’s immediately ready for use offline.
Performance Enhancements: Faster Report Loading and Data Imports
April 2025
We’re excited to announce the release of major performance upgrades across the platform, delivering a significantly faster and more efficient user experience.
Effective April 7, 2025 users will notice dramatic speed improvements in key areas, including report loading, PDF and PowerPoint exports, and census file imports.
These optimizations mean less time waiting—and more time analyzing, presenting, and acting on your data.
Raw Data Automation to Internal Systems
March 2025
If you import Raw Data exports from People Element into internal systems like an HRIS or BI tool, manual work is no longer needed. Our new Raw Data Automation feature securely connects survey data to your systems with automated, scheduled transfers.
Perfect for ongoing surveys like Exit or New Hire, or for consolidating vendor data into custom dashboards. Easily schedule automatic transfers of raw data files to an SFTP server at your preferred time. To set it up, contact your People Element representative.
