Short answers to the questions we hear most.

Engage is the engagement and culture intelligence platform for HR leaders. It brings three things into one subscription: a structured Culture Audit for periodic deep-dives, an always-on Culture Compass that keeps a live read on engagement, and a library of action plans, workshop kits and comms templates you can run with your team next week.

Heads of People, HR Directors and People & Culture leads. It is a management tool — not another inbox app for every employee. Your team answers short diagnostics; you get the cockpit that turns those responses into a defensible plan you can present at the next exec meeting.

Traditional survey tools hand you a report and leave you to work out what to do next. Engage closes the loop — every finding is matched to a workshop kit, comms template or event playbook, so the gap between “we have a problem with leadership communication” and “we have a 30-day plan to move it” is a couple of clicks, not a consulting project.

Culture Audit is a one-off, structured deep-dive — the right tool for “we need a defensible baseline before the board meeting”. Culture Compass is continuous — a lightweight, always-on pulse that flags drift on engagement, leadership and communication between audits. Most customers run a Culture Audit quarterly and leave Culture Compass on permanently.

Not yet, but it’s on the roadmap. For launch we’re deliberately staying focused on being the best cockpit for HR leaders; SSO, SCIM provisioning from your HRIS, and Slack/Teams nudges are the next integrations we’ll ship. If one of those is a must-have for you, email info@elementsmarketing.ie and we’ll flag you when it goes live.

All customer data is hosted in the EU (Ireland). We use Supabase for the database, auth and storage, and Vercel for application hosting — both with EU data residency selected. Data never leaves the EU/EEA without appropriate safeguards (Standard Contractual Clauses).

Every query is gated by row-level security at the database — a user can only read the rows they are entitled to, enforced by Postgres before the data ever leaves the database. In addition to that, we ship role-based permissions inside the app (org admin, HR partner, member). On Enterprise, SSO and SCIM provisioning tighten the loop further.

Yes. Engage is built for GDPR from day one — data processing agreements with every subprocessor, a documented lawful basis per data category, and self-service data access, export and erasure from every user’s account page. Our privacy policy spells out the detail.

No. Individual employee responses are only ever aggregated — the cockpit shows organisation-wide mixes and scores, not individual answers. RLS enforces this at the database layer, not just in the UI. Admins see aggregates; they never see “who answered what”.

You can export your organisation’s data at any time from the admin console. When a subscription ends we retain data for 30 days (to handle reactivations and accidental cancellations), then permanently delete it from primary storage. Backups are rotated out within a further 35 days.

From signed contract to your first Culture Compass responses is usually under a week. Most customers go live inside 48 hours — we set up your organisation, invite your admin team, and help you launch either a Culture Audit or Culture Compass on day one.

Engage is deliberately opinionated so there is very little to learn — the cockpit walks you from measurement to action. Every Growth and Enterprise customer gets a 60-minute onboarding session where we set the first Culture Audit up live with you, and Enterprise customers keep a dedicated Culture Partner for the life of the contract.

Email support on every plan, with a reply within one working day. Growth adds priority support (four-hour replies during Irish business hours). Enterprise adds a dedicated Culture Partner who joins your quarterly programme reviews.

Yes. Every Culture Audit ships with an exec-ready readout; we can also co-deliver the workshops and leadership sessions that come out of it. Workshop delivery is quoted separately from the subscription — email info@elementsmarketing.ie and we’ll scope it.
