Y-Vonne Hutchinson, founder and CEO of one of the country’s largest company culture and DEI consultancies, ReadySet, announced the launch of Superessence today, a new tech company offering an AI-powered platform to help HR professionals and people operations teams measure and evaluate company culture in minutes. Trained on more than a decade of ReadySet’s proprietary data, cultural expertise, and publicly available information, Superessence enables business and HR leaders to measure company culture across several critical dimensions.
Changes in society and the corporate landscape now require a more up-to-the-minute finger on the pulse of a company’s employee sentiment and culture, which lends itself perfectly to the efficiency and effectiveness benefits enabled by AI. Superessence centralizes real-time data with unique corporate culture insights about the wellbeing of employees to help companies preserve, enhance, and elevate the accountability of their culture at the digitally-driven pace expected in all other aspects of our lives and work.
“Historically, evaluating company culture has been a laborious process involving endless employee and engagement surveys that can take months to distribute, collect, and analyze – we’re changing that,” said CEO and founder of Superessence, Y-Vonne Hutchinson. “With Superessence, you can ensure employees feel served by your team, appropriate stakeholders get the right information when they need it, and your business has meaningful insights to understand internal systemic and cultural biases, all in a matter of minutes.”
Superessence’s toolsets and automated workflows deliver secure, anonymous, real-time data quickly so companies can determine challenges and opportunities at-a-glance, making it easy to monitor culture and employee satisfaction. Using publicly available data from sources like Glassdoor, LinkedIn, and the company’s website, combined with available internal data, Superessence provides a quick, real-time overview of the culture that visually resembles a heat map. Harnessing the power of AI, the analysis of aggregate data includes retrospective, in-the-moment, and predictive insights honed by ReadySet’s decade of data collection, resources, and experience as culture and DEI experts.
Understanding that HR and people operations teams have limited time and resources, Superessence provides immediate ROI that makes it easy to comply with government mandates such as EEOC, ESG, pay equity audits, and AI bias reports. The people-first technology simplifies tasks and delivers actionable insights that put work culture to work right away.
