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.
Move from workforce reporting to workforce insight
See workforce capability, growth, engagement, and readiness in one place, so leaders spot risks earlier and make better talent decisions.
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
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
The leading HR platform with +90% user adoption
Most HR platforms are a compromise. HR gets a system, everyone else gets another login. With Transform, HR, employees,and IT each get what they need in one connected system. And because it’s built inside Microsoft 365, people actually use it.
CHRO
“Our best people are leaving and we only find out why in exit interviews.”
- AI reads sentiment continuously across teams surfacing who's disengaging and why while there's still time to act.
- Learning, performance, and engagement data unified in one real-time view, so you walk into every leadership conversation with a clear, evidence-based picture of how the workforce is doing.
HR Director
“We know succession planning matters. But with no formal plan in place, we're still promoting whoever's available when a critical role opens up.”
- Talent mapping, high-potential identification, and succession planning built on real learning, performance, and engagement data.
- One platform replaces disconnected point solutions, no more piecing the story together from separate systems.
IT Leader
“Every new HR tool means a new security review, new data flows, and another system to govern.”
- Microsoft 365 Certified App. Annual Microsoft security review already done.
- AI and data stay inside your existing tenant. Same governance, nothing to manage separately.
How Zensai works in Microsoft 365
No new logins. No new app. No new governance conversation. Zensai is built inside Microsoft 365, not just connected to it. Your IT team manages one environment. Your people use one set of credentials. And AI operates within the security and compliance framework already in place, so there's no shadow AI risk and nothing to govern twice.
Trusted by 2,000+ IT & HR leaders in Microsoft-first organizations
Zensai transforms learning, engagement, and performance into impact right inside Microsoft 365. No disruption, just smarter ways to grow where your teams already work.
Loved by users, trusted by leaders
We've moved from abstract conversations about performance to real data. For the first time, I'll be able to see 4,900 development goals across our people, in real time. That's huge.
We reached 99% goal entry across the company. That only happens when people see value in the process.
It seemed like a natural progression. Moving to Transform includes performance and engagement, meaning it could do all the things we needed.
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.
