Surveys allow to efficiently collect honest feedback, opinions and responses from employees, and use that information to improve operations, reduce employee turnover and improve the level of communication between the managers and employees.
Surveys can be sent to employees while preserving their anonymity, ensuring complete and unbiased results.
The survey templates offers numerous research-based surveys covering various topics such as employee well-being, engagement, employee satisfaction, team performance, and more.
You can quickly survey your team with 4-5 questions, launching them in just minutes.

FAQ
What can I edit once a survey is launched? What cannot be changed after a survey has been launched?
After launching a survey, you can edit the survey name and the end date of the survey. You cannot edit the participants. If you chose the survey to be anonymous, this setting cannot be changed after survey is launched. Once the survey is launched, you can only edit parts of the survey form that will not interfere with the results standardization, such as text data and typos that will not affect the form calculation or results.
What permissions are needed to manage a survey?
If you are not the administrator of the system, you need specific permissions to manage surveys. An administrator can grant these permissions in the Roles and permissions settings.
In the Roles & permissions section, navigate to Edit role/New role → Company → Pulse. Check the box labeled Manage surveys to enable survey management permissions.
Done! 😉 Conducting surveys is a proactive approach to understanding your workforce and fostering a culture of openness and responsiveness.
