In today’s workplace, employee experience (EX) isn’t just an HR trend—it’s a business imperative.
According to Gallup, only 32% of U.S. employees are engaged at work, and disengagement costs companies billions each year in lost productivity and turnover. The best organizations know that investing in the employee experience—starting with onboarding and continuing through connection, growth, and recognition—is how you build teams that stay, thrive, and perform.
But how do you improve employee experience in a way that’s scalable, human, and effective across hybrid and global teams?
At Amirra, we’ve spent years building a platform that does just that—automating the manual parts of HR while delivering the connection and culture people crave. Below, we break down 10 core features of Amirra that directly improve employee experience, backed by research and designed to drive results.
1. Personalized Onboarding Journeys
Onboarding is more than paperwork—it’s the first experience a new hire has with your culture, processes, and people. A positive onboarding experience can increase employee retention by 82% (Glassdoor) and reduce time-to-productivity dramatically.
With Amirra, each new employee receives a tailored onboarding journey based on their role, location, manager, and goals. This includes:
30-60-90 day roadmaps
Automated welcome intros
Manager check-in nudges
Learning path suggestions
The result? Onboarding that feels personal—not procedural. And according to SHRM, structured onboarding leads to 50% greater new hire productivity.
2. Cafe Roulette for Cross-Team Connection
Hybrid work has widened physical gaps—and sometimes emotional ones too.
That’s why Amirra offers Cafe Roulette, a feature that pairs employees across departments or time zones for casual virtual coffee chats. Think of it as a digital watercooler that helps build the social glue remote teams need.
It’s not just nice—it’s effective. Gallup found that connected teams are 21% more profitable than their less-connected counterparts (Gallup). And employees with a “best friend at work” are 7x more likely to be engaged (HBR).
3. AI-Powered Learning Paths
Employee growth fuels company growth. But generic learning systems don’t cut it anymore.
Amirra uses AI to analyze an employee’s current skills, career goals, and team needs to recommend customized learning paths. Whether it’s technical training, leadership development, or soft skill enhancement, the platform delivers content that feels relevant—and motivating.
This isn’t just a perk. A LinkedIn Learning report found that 94% of employees say they’d stay at a company longer if it invested in their learning. With Amirra, you can do this at scale—without needing a full-time L&D team.
4. Real-Time Feedback and Pulse Surveys
The annual employee survey is dead. Today’s teams need ongoing, real-time feedback loops to keep engagement high and identify issues before they escalate.
Amirra’s embedded feedback tools let you run pulse surveys, ask lightweight questions after events or milestones, and collect continuous insights throughout the employee lifecycle. Results are displayed in easy-to-digest dashboards, with AI surfacing key trends and recommended next steps.
Companies that act on feedback see 14.9% lower turnover, according to Zavvy. And employees who feel heard are 4.6x more likely to feel empowered to do their best work (Salesforce).
5. Built-In Employee Recognition
When people feel appreciated, they stick around.
Amirra’s built-in recognition system makes it easy to acknowledge wins—big and small. Employees can:
Send peer-to-peer kudos
Celebrate birthdays and work anniversaries
Recognize milestone achievements
Share gratitude in real-time
This kind of recognition doesn’t just feel good—it works. Gallup found that employees who feel recognized are 63% more likely to stay with their employer over the next 3–6 months.
6. People Connector for Shared Interests
Workplace friendships matter. Research by HBR and others confirms that people with close relationships at work are more satisfied and engaged—and more likely to stay.
Amirra’s People Connector matches employees based on shared interests (hobbies, languages, skills) and encourages social connections beyond formal teams. Whether it’s a running group, a book club, or a mentorship match, Amirra helps people find “their people” inside your company.
These connections not only boost morale—they fuel collaboration, trust, and inclusion.
7. Diversity and Inclusion Assistant
Diversity without inclusion is performative. Amirra helps organizations go beyond check-the-box DEI with a built-in assistant that:
Tracks representation metrics
Highlights inclusive language gaps in communication
Surfaces feedback from underrepresented groups
Nudges participation in DEI-focused initiatives
Research from McKinsey shows that companies in the top quartile for ethnic and cultural diversity are 36% more profitable than those in the bottom quartile. Amirra helps you turn inclusion into action—and impact.
8. Cross-Generational Communication Tools
Five generations. Dozens of communication styles. One workforce.
Amirra offers tools that help bridge these divides through:
Flexible communication templates (email, app, huddles)
Multi-format content delivery
Communication preference settings per employee
Educational resources to support empathy and cross-generational understanding
Why does this matter? Deloitte reports that miscommunication across generations is a major cause of disengagement—especially in hybrid environments. Amirra makes sure everyone feels seen, heard, and supported, regardless of age or style.
9. Streamlined Community-Building Features
Culture happens in the margins—during coffee breaks, group chats, and shared experiences.
Amirra recreates this virtually with Spaces—digital communities for everything from new hire groups to ERGs to professional learning circles. Employees can join, contribute, and host events with ease.
This kind of intentional community building helps reduce loneliness (77% of employees report feeling disconnected since the pandemic—Cigna) and increases belonging, which directly impacts engagement and retention.
10. Advanced Analytics for Engagement & Retention
Data without action is just noise.
Amirra’s analytics dashboard lets HR and business leaders track the health of the employee experience with real-time data on:
Engagement levels
Onboarding completion rates
Retention risks
Feedback sentiment
Connection scores
It doesn’t stop there. Amirra uses AI to suggest what to do next—whether that’s targeting a specific team with a re-engagement initiative or recognizing a high-performing peer group.
What gets measured gets improved—and with Amirra, you’re not guessing anymore.
