On August 2, 2023, Perceptyx, the leading employee listening and manager effectiveness platform, announced it has acquired Humu, a technology company that uses science-based ‘nudges’ to influence positive behavior change and improve business performance. Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati advised Humu on the transaction.

Perceptyx will integrate Humu’s extensive library of behavior nudges in its People Insights Platform, allowing organizations to deliver personalized nudges to both leaders and employees, customized to the behavior each individual or team wants to improve. Perceptyx will be the first company to enable a "nudge" process that engages the entire workforce to take action and make work better. “By adding Humu’s ground-breaking nudge technology to our AI-powered platform, we can help all employees influence positive change at every level, improving both the employee experience and business results,” said Perceptyx CEO John Borland.
