Employee communication software for People and HR teams

The comms team your People team never got to hire.

You own engagement, alignment and the employee experience, usually without a designer, a marketer or spare hours. ChangeEngine is the AI engine that plans, writes, sends and measures every program for you, from our app or the AI assistant you already use.

The job, without the team

You run a comms function with none of the comms team

Most People teams are a handful of people supporting thousands. And the hard part was never the platform. Someone still has to write the thing, make it look right and get it to the right 300 people at the right moment. That is the part ChangeEngine automates.

No designer

Every announcement looks like marketing made it

AI Content Studio turns one line into an on-brand email, poster, manager guide and Slack post, in your fonts, colors and voice.

No spare hours

Recurring moments run themselves

Journeys fire off start dates, anniversaries and job changes in your HRIS, so nothing waits on someone remembering to press send.

No proof it worked

Leadership sees what moved

Reads, clicks, survey responses and actions by team, location and channel, in a report you can forward as is.

HR tech stack consolidation

Seven HR tools. One AI platform.

Most People teams run comms, surveys, recognition and onboarding out of separate tools, and still get ignored. ChangeEngine replaces the stack with one platform that runs on your HR data. Fewer logins. Fewer contracts. Nothing new for employees to log into.

Forward deployed engineers

Need something we do not do yet? We build it with you.

Our forward deployed engineers work alongside your team and build what your People programs need, from a benefits explorer to a referrals portal or a recognition hub for every manager. It ships to spec, runs on the same platform, and we own adoption after launch.

How it works

Describe the program. Review the drafts. Ship it.

01

Describe it

Type a goal in plain English. The engine plans the moments, channels and audiences.

02

Review it

03

Run it

Sends trigger off Workday, ADP, BambooHR or UKG data and land in email, Teams, Slack and SMS at local time.

04

Prove it

Reads, clicks and survey responses roll up into one report by team and location.

The programs you own

Every People program, already set up to run

Each one comes with a playbook: the content, the journey, the channels and the metrics. Start from it or describe your own.

Employee journey automation

Every employee moment, on autopilot

Journeys start from events in your HRIS: a start date, a work anniversary, a promotion, a move to a new team. Each step lands on the right channel at the right time. Then ChangeEngine shows you who never opened it and automatically chases only those people.

✓Triggers from Workday, ADP, BambooHR, UKG and 75+ other HRIS
✓Branches by role, location, team and manager
✓Manager tasks and nudges built into every journey
✓Start from a template, or describe it and AI drafts the first version

ChangeEngine MCP

Run every People program from Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot

The ChangeEngine MCP server plugs into the AI assistant your company already approved. Ask in plain English and it drafts in your brand, builds the audience from HRIS fields, schedules the send and reports back. Your roles and approvals stay in charge.

Managers

Brief managers before their team asks

Managers get a heads-up and talking points a few days before an announcement lands, right in Slack, Teams or email. They walk in informed, and the message sounds the same on every team.

Grid of HRIS integrations including Workday, ADP, UKG, SAP and BambooHR

75+ HRIS integrations

Workday, ADP, BambooHR, UKG, Rippling, SAP and more keep every field in sync.

Day 1

Brand kit loaded

Logo, colors, fonts and tone set once. Every template and AI draft starts there.

Days 2 to 5

HRIS connected

Workday, ADP, BambooHR, UKG or one of 75+ others syncs the fields your programs need.

Days 7 to 10

First programs live

Onboarding and recognition running from templates, reviewed by your team.

Day 30

First leadership report

Reads, actions and hours saved, by team and location, ready to forward.

For IT and security

Why IT says yes in one meeting

There is no new app for employees, no code to maintain and nothing to host. ChangeEngine connects to the systems IT already runs through standard, auditable integrations.

Certified

Certified, not self-attested

SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified and GDPR compliant, with documentation ready in the Trust Center.

Identity

SSO on day one

SAML or OAuth single sign-on with optional 2FA. Employees reach the hub with Google or Microsoft sign-in.

Data

Your data stays in your region

Encryption in transit and at rest, with data residency in the US, EU or Canada. Content is generated inside your ChangeEngine environment.

AI governance

No shadow AI

The MCP runs inside the assistant you already approved and acts with the signed-in user's permissions. Nothing sends without an approval.

Integrations

Through the front door

Workday, ADP, BambooHR, UKG and 75+ more, plus Active Directory, Teams, Slack and SharePoint, all through standard APIs.

Control

Roles and approvals

Role-based permissions and approval steps, so comms, legal and leadership sign off before anything goes out.

The first four questions

What People leaders ask before they buy

Will it work with our HRIS?

75+ integrations including Workday, ADP, BambooHR and UKG. Most teams are fully live in 7 to 10 business days.

Will the AI sound like us?

Personal Tone AI learns your voice and brand. Every draft is reviewed by a person before it sends.

Do employees have to log in?

No. Messages land in email, Teams, Slack and SMS, where people already are.

Will IT sign off?

SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, SSO and US, EU or Canadian data residency.

More questions from People teams

What programs can ChangeEngine run for HR?

Onboarding, recognition and milestones, open enrollment and benefits, wellbeing campaigns, compliance updates, culture and engagement programs, and anything else you can describe.

Can every template match our brand?

Yes. Upload your logo, colors and fonts once and every template and AI draft starts on brand. Personal Tone AI keeps the voice consistent across writers.

Can recurring moments run automatically?

Yes. Birthdays, anniversaries, onboarding steps and holiday reminders trigger off HRIS data, so they go out on time without anyone pressing send.

What does the AI actually do?

It drafts content in your tone, plans program timelines, suggests send times and personalizes by role, location and team. A person reviews everything before it sends.

What analytics do we get?

Reads, clicks, reactions and actions by team, location and channel, your top-performing messages, and survey results you can export for leadership.

How fast can we start?

Our team can start designing content right away. Most teams are fully set up, integrations included, in 7 to 10 business days.
