Employee Pulse Surveys FAQs
What are employee pulse surveys?
What are employee pulse surveys?
Employee pulse surveys are the answer to providing more frequent, agile, and actionable employee feedback to uncover timely insights and drive organization impact. The pulse approach has become increasingly popular, not only because they are shorter and reduce the amount of time it takes employees to give their feedback, but also because they introduce a new dimension to results analysis: tracking over time. This provides an incredibly flexible and adaptable way to measure and improve employee engagement.
