LONDON, UK — The global momentum for “empathetic listening” continues. Following our success in the US, hoogly.ai has won the startup competition at the HR Technologies UK show in London.

Industry authority Gamification+ highlighted that Hoogly is “not just a one-hit wonder but a true leader in the workforce engagement and learning space.”

The “Best Employee Survey Tool” Alternative

The London win specifically highlighted Hoogly’s ability to turn real-time listening into actionable coaching. For HR professionals looking for the best employee survey tools, the consensus is clear: traditional surveys are no longer enough.

Hoogly’s focus on “hygge”—wellbeing and togetherness—provides a remote-first way to foster connectedness and prevent the loneliness often found in hybrid workplaces.

Key Takeaways from London:

  • Empathic AI: How AI-powered conversations outperform generic pulse surveys.
  • Neuroscience-Backed: Why “mood cards” and digital prompts drive higher participation than legacy platforms.

As we scale our recent $1M capital raise, we are inviting more companies to leave the “downward spiral of culture” behind.
