We are organisational scientists, delivering our market-leading products that are underpinned by machine learning and natural language processing (NLP). We are headquartered in London and work for some great brands such as John Lewis & Partners, Virgin Media and e-on.

What we do
At Qlearsite, we build software that helps businesses make scientific decisions about how they engage with their most important asset: their people. For example, we have worked with  organisations to understand the financial cost of stress-related sickness, discover factors associated with a high risk of workplace injury and to identify the key drivers of attrition in a business. We believe that transparent, data-driven HR decision-making is better for employees and their organisation.
