Best Employee Engagement Tools for 201-1,000 Employees Companies
Four tools serve employee engagement at this scale — Lattice, 15Five, and Leapsome, joined here by Workhuman — and pricing transparency drops to 3 of 4 (75%), down from 100% at the smaller brackets. Workhuman's own published targeting is specifically large, often multinational enterprises, which is exactly why it only appears at this size and above.
How to Choose at This Size
If recognition data specifically — not general engagement surveys — is the priority, Workhuman is the one tool here built around peer-to-peer recognition as its core signal, with multilingual and multicurrency support for multinational teams. Lattice, 15Five, and Leapsome remain the broader engagement-plus-performance options at this size, same as at smaller brackets.
