Defide Co., Ltd. (Akasaka 2-4-6, Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Tetsuya Yamamoto), an AI/DX consulting firm, announced that it has obtained Patent No. 7663188, "Program, Apparatus, and Method for Creating Questionnaire Questions," for its AI engagement survey "Generative AI Work Value Score Analysis" (JOB Scope).
This patented technology is an innovation where generative AI automatically designs and customizes engagement survey questions individually based on each employee's attribute information (department, position, tenure, duties, etc.) and company information (mission, vision, values, industry). It resolves the fundamental limitation of traditional surveys that throw the exact same questions at everyone.
## Development Background | "One-Size-Fits-All Questions" Fail to Reveal Frontline Issues
According to Gallup's "State of the Global Workplace 2025 Report," the global employee engagement rate in 2024 dropped to a mere 21%, and the economic loss due to low engagement amounts to 8.9 trillion dollars annually (about 9% of global GDP). Despite this, one of the reasons why engagement initiatives fail to be effective in many companies is the problem with survey design.
**▶ Limitations of Traditional Engagement Surveys**
- Because the same questions are distributed to all employees, individual circumstances related to job type, department, or tenure are not reflected at all.
- Precision drops when new employees in the sales department and managers in the engineering department answer the exact same questions.
- The company's MVV (Mission, Vision, Values) and industry characteristics are not reflected in the questions.
- Professional consultants take weeks to design the questionnaires, making it impossible to keep the questions fresh.
To solve these issues, Defide Co., Ltd. developed a technology for automatically generating individualized questions based on attributes and has now patented this technology.
