Pulse Surveys

FAQ

What is a pulse survey?

A pulse survey is a brief and regular survey conducted within an organisation to gauge the overall employee experience and feedback on specific topics. It typically consists of a small number of focused questions that provide a snapshot of the workforce's current attitudes, satisfaction levels, and employee engagement. The purpose of a pulse survey is to gather real-time data and insights to help organisations identify areas for improvement, measure employee morale, and make data-driven decisions to enhance the overall employee experience.

How often should pulse surveys be sent to employees?

The frequency of sending pulse surveys to employees can vary depending on your organisation's needs and goals. Typically, pulse surveys are conducted on a regular basis, often quarterly or monthly. The more frequent the surveys, the more up-to-date the data and insights will be. However, it's important to strike a balance to avoid survey fatigue and ensure that employees have enough time to provide thoughtful responses.

Are pulse surveys anonymous?

Yes, pulse surveys are conducted anonymously to encourage employees to provide honest and candid feedback. Anonymity helps create a safe environment for employees to express their opinions without fear of reprisal or judgment. It’s important for organisations to clearly communicate the anonymity of the survey at all times to build trust and reassure employees that their responses will remain confidential.

How can I use the results of my pulse survey?

In summary, the results of your pulse survey should serve as a catalyst for positive change within your organisation.
