Approach
Relay is Built on a new premise
Great teams don’t drift into alignment—they stay in sync. RELAY asks one question each week to surface truth, spark action, and keep culture moving.
What we believe
Trust is the product.
Everything else — the weekly cadence, the anonymity, the channels, the summaries — is in service of one thing: making it genuinely safe for people to say what they think. Not safe in a legal sense. Safe in the sense that your words won't be traced back to you, won't be weaponised, and won't disappear into a spreadsheet nobody reads.
Frequency beats depth.
A 30-second weekly check-in captures something an annual survey never can: momentum. The direction things are moving matters more than where they are. A team trending down from 8 to 6 needs attention. A team trending up from 5 to 7 is telling you something is working. Point-in-time data hides both.
Closing the loop is not optional.
Collecting feedback without responding to it is worse than not asking at all. It tells people their voice doesn't matter. Every week. Even when the answer is "we don't know yet" — that's still an answer.
The employee experience is the customer experience.
Employee satisfaction is a leading indicator of customer satisfaction, which is a leading indicator of commercial performance. We track what matters upstream so you can act before the downstream consequences arrive.
What we don't
XXXXXX
Design for HR departments at the expense of the person giving feedback. The primary user of Relay is the employee who gets a message on their phone each week and decides in two seconds whether to answer honestly.
XXXXXX
Help organisations do performative listening. Relay is not a tool for signalling that you have a feedback culture. It's a tool for building one. The difference shows up in the data within weeks.
XXXXXX
Compromise anonymity for richer reporting. There are things we could surface — individual response patterns, timing data, cross-referenced sentiment — that we've chosen not to. The data isn't worth breaking trust.
XXXXXX
Replace the human response with a dashboard. Data surfaces the issues. Leadership addresses them. We do the former; we can't do the latter for you — but we'll make sure you always know where to look.
The Numbers
The Business Case
Employee sentiment is a leading indicator of business performance. Most organisations find out what their teams were thinking six months after it mattered. Relay tells you now.
Higher profitability in top-quartile engagement organisations
Lower turnover in highly engaged companies.
Measurable engagement improvement for customers who close the loop weekly.
