Airspeed

Digital platform for personal workplace profiles

Overview

Airspeed provides a digital platform for workplaces that helps employees share personal stories and interests through detailed profiles. This goes beyond traditional professional resumes to highlight hobbies and experiences so colleagues can discover common ground and build real connections. The product is offered on a subscription basis to companies, which pay a recurring fee to give their employees access. Employees create and update profiles, and the platform surfaces opportunities for relationships and conversations, aiming to foster a more connected, engaged, and cohesive team. Airspeed differentiates itself by focusing on personal, human-centered details rather than just career history, making it easier for both extroverted and introverted employees to engage and find commonalities. The company's goal is to improve team cohesion, boost employee engagement, and increase productivity and job satisfaction by strengthening workplace relationships.

Airspeed Launches Culture Graph To Help Companies Measure The Cultural Health Of Their Organization

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Airspeed, an innovative platform focused on connecting and celebrating employees to drive engagement and performance, today announced the launch of Culture Graph (patent-pending). Culture Graph is a system that gauges the health of an organization by measuring the strength of employee connections and unearthing hidden networks within the organization.

Traditionally, organizational cultural health and engagement have been monitored through means such as surveys (e.g., team surveys and individual interviews), Human Resources (HR) statistics (e.g., employee retention rates), and monitoring of communications outside of the organization (e.g., Glassdoor.com). Most of these means are prone to error, due to their incompleteness and susceptibility to biases and intimidation. In many cases, these indicators of organizational problems may be backward-looking or become apparent only when the problems become severe

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Airspeed, an innovative platform focused on connecting and celebrating employees to drive engagement and performance, today announced the launch of AI Awards and new AI capabilities across all their applications. The new AI features will help companies analyze their culture data and make it actionable while Awards will enable continuous achievement recognition for workers. In recent years, the workplace has undergone a major shift in how and where we work. With the emergence of generative AI, we’re experiencing yet another radical work change. Many companies have enabled employees to work remotely or follow a flexible hybrid schedule, and while the pros of this flexibility are plentiful, it also has resulted in dispersed teams and fewer personal connections in the workplace. While some companies are returning to in-office work, the problems of low engagement and lack of connection have always existed; the pandemic merely highlighted them
