Pulse surveys
Short, frequent surveys designed to track change in real time. Stay connected to your people and respond quickly when things shift.
What they are
Pulse surveys are brief, focused check-ins that give you a real-time read on how your people are feeling. Unlike annual engagement surveys, they're designed for agility—helping you spot trends, track the impact of changes, and stay responsive.
A typical pulse survey takes 2-3 minutes to complete and focuses on a small number of carefully chosen questions. The power is in the frequency and the trend data you build over time.
When to use them
During organisational change
Restructures, leadership changes, office moves, new systems—any significant change creates uncertainty. Pulse surveys help you monitor morale and catch problems early.
Following up on engagement actions
After your annual engagement survey, pulse surveys track whether your interventions are working. Did that leadership training make a difference? Are people feeling heard?
Tracking leadership effectiveness
Regular pulses on team dynamics and manager relationships help identify teams that need support before engagement erodes.
Building a listening culture
When employees see that feedback leads to action, trust grows. Regular pulses—when acted upon—demonstrate that leadership is paying attention.
The key to effective pulse surveys
Pulse surveys work when they're focused, consistent, and acted upon. The biggest mistake? Running pulses without responding to what they reveal. Employees quickly disengage from surveys that feel like they disappear into a void.
