The Business Case for Trust-Based Leadership

Multiple studies from organizations such as Gallup, Great Place to Work, and others consistently show that companies with high-trust leadership outperform their peers. Employees are more productive, energetic, and engaged. The research also shows that when an employee trusts their leadership, they're more likely to stay.

In a world where AI can write your code, what makes you invaluable in the marketplace is your ability to influence, collaborate, and navigate complex human systems. People Work is designed to help you and your employees better cultivate the meaningful relationships that drive business outcomes.

Our AI Philosophy

Now

We have shipped version one of our app without any AI features, on purpose. While we considered AI during development, we didn't believe it was essential to solving the core business case.

Coming Soon

We will use AI to empower you to make meaningful connections, but we will never use AI to replace that connection or replace your ability to decipher human feelings. We aim to make the right thing to do the easy thing to do. We want to enhance your leadership skills, not stunt their growth.

As such, we do plan to include AI capabilities in future versions. AI in People Work will help you to:

• Identify patterns in the notes and sentiments you've recorded - like pointing out that your connections with Pradeep have been consistently positive, worth noting for future collaborations
• Remember important details - like to follow up on Sarah's certification goals
• Keep your promises to people - like when you told Gene you'd fill him in on the outcome of that project planning meeting
• Prepare for performance conversations - like being able to remember what they worked on in Q1 and how you felt about it, avoiding recency bias

When AI assists with things like performance reviews, we will always have a human be the last to review and refine it.

What We Don't Do

There are a lot of HR tech solutions that believe in using AI for hiring solutions, employee surveillance, or sentiment monitoring, but not us. We believe that the best business outcomes will come from your ability to work well with others.

Privacy

Your data will always be only visible to you. Whether you choose to store it on your local device or in our cloud for using it on multiple devices, it will be safely encrypted (encryption coming soon for all paid tiers). Additionally, we will employ your device's native AI, so there is no risk of your data getting shared with or exposed to other users.

Trust

We honor employee privacy, helping users to build stronger professional connections through better intentionality and follow-through, not surveillance. People Work uses the information that you share about your connections and interactions, keeping everything within your scope of influence and control.
