We design the employee experience and shift employee behaviour to boost workforce engagement for better business performance.
We’re a strategic employee experience (EX) consultancy, uniquely using behavioural science, AI and human-centred experience design to make work great and create real impact for our clients’ sticky, persistent people-related challenges.
What we do
SaltX brings Science and eXperience to breakthrough challenges and create an exceptional employee experience that makes a real difference to business performance.
DIAGNOSE THE END-TO-END EMPLOYEE EXPERIENCE
An end-to-end employee experience diagnostic identifying areas that can be improved across the experience from onboarding to exit. Based on the outcomes, we design solutions that will have the most significant impact on workforce engagement and, therefore, on business performance.
SHIFT EMPLOYEE BEHAVIOUR
We solve your toughest people-related problems that haven’t been solved using standard methods. We carry out research to understand what’s going on underneath the presenting behaviours using behavioural science to nudge employees to make better decisions in areas of compliance, collaboration, innovation, manager performance and more.
LEVERAGE GENERATIVE AI
We advise on how the changing landscape of generative AI is impacting the employee experience and how AI applications can be leveraged to make the biggest impact on workforce engagement. We carry out both full technological and employee experience reviews and how AI can help with specific challenges.
IMPROVE WORKFORCE ENGAGEMENT
We carry out a full data-driven review of factors that correlate highly with workforce engagement and design interventions to improve engagement. To test our designs, we implement experimental trials with a subset of employees, iterate and improve the interventions ready for roll out.
"The employee experience is influenced by so many different departments, teams, systems, processes and, not least, leaders, managers and the culture itself. It can be a real challenge to get a holistic view of the EX. And yet it's essential for organisations to understand their EX in order to grow a highly engaged workforce for a high performing business."

How we do it
We bring synthesised research and expertise from behavioural science, AI, and workforce engagement to design the employee experience to give people a brilliant experience at work for better business performance.
Deep research
Our in-depth research and diagnostic reviews reveal the existing situation, focusing on factors that most highly correlate with workforce engagement and have the most impact in influencing human behaviour. This includes observation, interviews, surveys, (re)analysis of existing data, and experiments.
Intelligent impact
This holistic approach enables us to identify areas for improvement and, using heuristics, AI applications, Workforce Engagement theory and design thinking, we create impactful solutions that really work.
Why our clients come to us
Improving workforce engagement
Whether it’s a particular engagement issue, a general downward trend or you just want to make a step change, we know how to move engagement. We carry out full end-to-end employee experience diagnostics and design targeted interventions to make a real impact on workforce engagement.
Understanding the impact AI has on employee experience
We understand the AI landscape and how AI applications impact the employee experience. Wherever you are on your AI journey, AI is changing the employee experience. We advise you on where to invest in AI applications to improve workforce engagement and how to mitigate the risks.
Improving employee compliance with policies
Whether it’s cyber security, a new expenses policy or manager process, sometimes compliance levels are lower than you expected and it’s hard to see why. Using behavioural science, we unlock these sticky problems and design solutions that actually work.
Science for high performance
It’s well established in research and practice that a highly engaged workforce is strongly correlated with high performing businesses.
But how do you improve engagement? How do you know which lever to pull, and if it will actually improve performance? Especially when you're dealing with real people in all their wonderful messiness, not lines on a spreadsheet.
Our approach is to reveal the holistic picture of the end-to-end employee experience (from before joining to exit) to show, not only where improvements could be made to impact engagement the most, but which interventions will have the greatest impact on performance. We’ll show you where to invest to get the biggest return.
