An AI scan starts with the trust of your people

An AI scan only delivers when your people speak freely. Here is how to build trust and achieve high participation.
09 - 11 - 2026

An AI scan only gives an honest picture when your people speak freely about their work and their doubts. That requires trust. That is why Xylos Insights is designed to make learning needs visible, not to assess individual employees.

What questions do people have?

What happens to what I say? Does my manager see my answers? Is this a test? Answer those questions before the scan starts. That way more people take part and they answer more honestly.

How do you build buy-in in four steps?

  1. Explain the goal clearly. Tell why the scan is coming and what happens with the results: rolling out a learning path that fits each team.

  2. Involve ambassadors and IT early. Let them have a conversation with the AI agent themselves. Those who experience it can also explain it to colleagues.

  3. Report per team, not per person. The organisation sees results per team, role or department. Make clear that the personal report is intended for the employee only.

  4. Give something back. Every participant receives a personal report with strengths and a learning path. That way the scan feels like an opportunity rather than a check.

What makes an AI conversation accessible?

Participants talk to the AI tool in Dutch, French, English or German, at a time that suits them. They describe their work in their own words. At Maxeda, 550 employees went through the first two conversations this way.

How does Xylos help?

You don't have to do it alone: we support the communication around the scan. Your ambassadors and IT people get a demo. Together, we turn the results into a learning path through our AI literacy programme.
