Activ8 Intelligence

We’re leaders in people analytics

For over 15 years, Activ8 Intelligence have been leading technology in people analytics.
Like others in the market, we have best of breed workforce metrics, dashboards and reporting.
We have case studies on where our product, illumin8HR, has helped HR decision makers drive business improvements in different industry sectors across the globe.

So, what makes us different?

We work with some of the world’s leading product innovators from successful HR tech companies, feeding in their ideas, experiences and inputs to shape a game-changing product.

Understanding HR

Whilst we have 15 years’ experience in people analytics with our partners and their clients, it is not where our experience of Human Capital Management starts.

Our leadership team have a combined experience of over 50 years in HR technology, HR & payroll outsourced services, and HR consultancy. In fact, our platform, illumin8HR, was born out of consultancy in the HR analytics space, meaning we have a true understanding of not only the needs of HR professionals, but also the people managers who are pivotal in driving the actions that come from people analytics.

Recognising technology is only one part of the story

That’s why we also support our partners and clients as they progress on their people analytics journey, helping partners identify early adopters and working directly with their clients to position, engage and onboard them. We work with end user organisations to understand where they are in their journeys and how to approach rolling out the solution internally to get the right level of stakeholder engagement, a better understanding of how people analytics can support their decision making and how they can align what they get from illumin8HR with their HR and business priorities to get the most value.

Delivering award winning technology

We are constantly investing in our technology as the scope of employee data increases and machine learning models enable more sophisticated and predictive thinking. Activ8’s partners are actively involved in product roadmap decisions to help shape the future direction of the illumin8HR platform which means we benefit from the combined thinking and ideas from product managers in some of the world’s most innovative HR tech companies, in turn representing tens of thousands of HR professionals. This gives us the perfect stage to keep innovating and developing an award-winning product in the people analytics space.

We are renowned in our own right, but when we combine our passion and innovation with that of our partners, we go further.

Innov8HR more. Acceler8HR more. illumin8HR more.
