Gartner Sells Workforce Survey & Analytics Platform

Gartner has sold its Workforce Surveys & Analytics (WS&A) platform, acquired with CEB a year ago, to employee survey software firm CultureIQ. Terms of the deal, in which CultureIQ was backed by parent company ParkerGale Capital, were not disclosed.

WS&A was previously part of best practice and talent management insights firm CEB, which Gartner acquired in early 2017. The platform is used to align employee engagement with corporate strategy, and taps a team of I/O psychologists who design and deliver the surveys. It also offers industry benchmarks and gives access to a best practice database.

CultureIQ CEO Greg Besner (pictured), who is now CEO of the combined business, comments: 'This is an exciting combination of two great companies. One with strong, modern technology and one with decades of expertise and intellectual property. WS&A is the recognized industry leader working with some of the largest companies in the world and we are excited to join forces'.
