Stage 3 of 3 Transform

Transform brings learning, performance, and engagement together across your workforce, so leaders can see and shape people strategy in one place. It completes the path from Grow, where training and compliance become capability, through Scale, where learning connects to performance

More than an HR platform.
Built to see what's coming.

Zensai Transform develops your whole workforce across learning, performance, and engagement, and turns the full picture into one real-time view, inside Microsoft 365.

Talent development platform know how your people feel

Employee disengagement shouldn't surprise you.

AI sentiment analysis reads engagement continuously across check-ins, feedback, and surveys, so you see how sentiment is trending at team and individual level and act early, with the read always in your hands, instead of finding out from a survey once a year.

Talent development platform prove your people strategy is working

Leadership needs proof, not promises.

The Human Success Score combines learning, performance, and engagement into a single workforce health metric. See which teams are strong and which need attention, and whether your people investments are delivering measurable results.

Talent development platform the right people, the right roles, evidenced

Make succession decisions with evidence, not instinct.

Talent mapping and 9-box assessments draw on learning, performance, and engagement data to surface high-potential talent for succession in critical roles. AI Skills Management drafts the skills framework for people to approve, then links gaps to the development that builds readiness.

Talent development platform recognition becomes lasting engagement

High performers leave long before the annual survey tells you why

Pulse surveys and engagement scoring surface retention risk while there's still time to act, so a disengaging high performer shows up as a signal to address, not a resignation to explain.

Partial visibility. Reactive decisions.

  • Learning, performance, and engagement live in separate systems
  • Talent risks emerge before leaders can see them
  • Workforce decisions rely on incomplete information
  • Annual surveys arrive too late to drive action
  • Reporting explains what happened, not what to do next
After Zensai

Lead the workforce with insight

  • Connect learning, performance, and engagement in one system
  • Identify capability gaps and readiness risks earlier
  • Base succession and talent decisions on evidence
  • Understand workforce health with a real-time Human Success Score
  • Give leaders clear signals on where to focus next

FAQs

What is Zensai Transform?

Zensai Transform is the full Zensai platform, bringing learning, performance, and engagement together in one system built natively inside Microsoft 365. It combines a complete engagement layer with learning and continuous performance management: pulse check-ins, engagement surveys, AI sentiment analysis, recognition, succession planning, and talent mapping, with the full Human Success Score reporting people health to the board. It is built for CHROs and executive teams who need unified visibility across learning, performance, and engagement and one clear measure to report on people ROI.

Is Zensai built natively inside Microsoft 365?

Yes. Zensai is a learning, performance, and engagement platform engineered to live inside Microsoft 365, not as an external app reaching in through connectors, so everything runs in Teams, SharePoint, Outlook, Copilot, and Power BI. IT finds, reviews, and deploys it as a Microsoft Certified App through the Microsoft Marketplace it already uses for vendor governance, and can review the full platform through a single unified marketplace listing. This keeps a full-platform rollout inside the review and security processes IT already runs. 

What AI does Zensai Transform include, and does a person stay in control?

Zensai Transform includes several named AI capabilities across learning, performance, and engagement, each built into the flow of work. AI sentiment analysis reads engagement signals, AI workforce insights let leaders ask Copilot how teams are performing and feeling, AI insights and coaching prompt managers on team engagement, and AI assist drafts reviews and goals for approval. All of it runs inside your Microsoft 365 governance boundary, and a person reviews and decides every time. The AI surfaces signals and drafts suggestions for a person to act on; it does not rank people or act on them by itself. 

Can Zensai Transform handle succession planning?

Yes. Zensai Transform includes succession planning for critical roles, and its strength is the evidence behind it: it draws on the real learning, performance, and skills data already in the platform to identify potential successors and gauge how ready they are. Where there are gaps, it links each successor to the learning paths and development that build readiness, so succession connects directly to action. People make the calls: Zensai surfaces the evidence and the development path, and HR and leaders decide who advances. 

Does Zensai Transform include talent mapping and 9-box?

Yes. Zensai Transform includes talent mapping with a 9-box grid, where you plot people by performance and potential to run structured talent reviews inside the same platform as learning and performance. Because it uses live performance and feedback data, the grid stays current as those signals change, and it surfaces high-potential employees. Talent mapping is the assessment step; it feeds succession planning and development decisions that people then make.

What is the Human Success Score in Zensai Transform, and what does it measure?

The Human Success Score is a single, board-reportable measure of workforce health, scored from 0 to 100, that combines learning, performance, and engagement data into one number. At Transform it draws on all three sources together, and it comes with the drivers behind the score and the focus areas that would improve it, so a CHRO can report a clear people-health number to the board and show what is moving it. David Perring, Chief Insights Officer at Fosway Group, described it: “Zensai’s vision of distilling the human factors into a single score that indicates an organization’s people success is a bold and visionary step to overcoming that problem.” 

How does Zensai Transform spot disengagement before people leave?

Zensai Transform spots disengagement early by reading continuous engagement signals as they happen. Employee sentiment analysis scores sentiment across check-ins, surveys, and feedback, 10-pulse trend analysis shows the direction of travel, and the engagement score flags retention risk while there is still time to act. Managers see AI-surfaced themes and suggested next steps in the tools they already use, so a dip in engagement becomes something to address in weeks, not something discovered after someone has already resigned. 

Can Zensai Transform replace our standalone engagement survey tool?

Yes. Zensai Transform includes full employee engagement software: engagement survey design, scheduling, and analytics, plus continuous pulse check-ins and AI sentiment analysis, so it replaces a standalone engagement survey tool. Because engagement sits in the same platform as learning and performance, survey results connect to performance and development signals, which a standalone survey tool cannot do. It runs inside Microsoft Teams and Microsoft 365, so engagement happens where people already work.

How does Zensai Transform give executives one view across learning, performance, and engagement?

Zensai Transform gives executives a connected view across learning, performance, and engagement, because all three run on one platform and report together. Beyond the Human Success Score, leaders get organization and HR dashboards and performance and engagement reporting that span the three areas, so they can see how learning, performance, and engagement move together across the workforce. With AI workforce insights, an executive can ask Microsoft Copilot how a team or the whole organization is performing and feeling and get an answer from real-time data, without building a report or navigating dashboards.

What do customers say about Zensai?

On G2, reviewers highlight how naturally Zensai fits their Microsoft 365 environment, how quickly it rolls out, and how responsive the support team is. These reviews reflect the Zensai platform experience across learning, performance, and engagement rather than any single edition. You can read verified customer reviews on Zensai’s G2 profile.
