Employee survey tool dashboard showing real-time results and AI-powered insights for team collaboration

Most Employee Surveys Fail

Only 8% of employees strongly agree that their organisation takes action on survey results¹.
The problem isn't participation — it's follow-through.

Employees Never Hear Back

Findings aren't shared, decisions aren't communicated.

Action Takes Weeks or Months

By the time recommendations land, sentiment has moved on.

Good Intentions, No Playbook

HR and team leads want to act — they just don't know how.

Surveys built to listen start to feel like no one is. Survey fatigue sets in.

Case Study

How Pulse Feedback Redefined Employee Surveys at Swisscom

For years, Swisscom ran traditional employee surveys with long questionnaires, infrequent cycles, and weeks before results came in. Like many organisations, they could measure employee sentiment but struggled to translate it into a better employee experience.

With our platform, everyone got access to the results directly. Teams discussed findings, defined action plans, and tracked progress in the next round. The result: highly engaged teams across the organisation, an open culture of dialogue, and surveys that actually drive change.

Most employee survey software focuses on collecting data and producing reports for HR. We deliver that level of insight too, plus something most other tools don't: every employee can see survey results directly and act on them in a Guided Results Discussion. AI analytics surface key themes from open-ended responses, real-time dashboards make data accessible the moment it lands, and built-in benchmarks let you compare progress against similar organisations. Instead of a one-off measurement, you get a continuous employee listening cycle that turns insight into ongoing improvement, higher productivity, and stronger workplace culture.

In minutes, not weeks. Pick a survey template, adjust it to your organisation, and send invitations the same day. Templates and other key features mean you don't sacrifice depth for speed.

Our AI analytics cluster comments by topic and sentiment, surfacing key themes and uncovering patterns across thousands of responses in seconds. You can ask follow-up questions in natural language, and concrete suggestions for next steps appear alongside the data. Results export easily to charts, board reports, or workshop materials, so the insights move from dashboard to decision quickly.

Yes. View results grouped by team, department, or any other unit in your organisation's structure. You can also create custom groups by combining several teams or selected individuals, which is useful for cross-functional projects, leadership cohorts, or other ad-hoc segmentations. Group comparisons run alongside time comparisons and benchmarks, so you can spot where employee experience and employee needs differ across the organisation, and track trends over time.

For regular employee surveys, we recommend a semi-transparent approach: ratings stay private and aggregated, while comments are visible across the organisation, with names shown only within your own team. This balance keeps individual scores protected and turns comments into a real conversation between colleagues that drives change. Across our clients, many employees respond with "Finally!" rather than "Not me!".

For research on topics like health, wellbeing, or workplace climate, where employees aren't expected to act on the results directly, fully anonymous employee surveys often make more sense. Both options run on the same platform.

We start from a different premise: change happens where the work happens. Instead of routing every result through HR, we give every team direct access to its own findings and the structure to turn them into improvements. HR and leadership focus on organisation-wide themes; teams own the local changes. That shift turns employee surveys into a continuous improvement cycle and a real driver of workplace culture, not a yearly reporting exercise.

Yes. Start from our catalogue of 120+ research-based questions covering employee experience, leadership, collaboration, wellbeing, and company culture, then add your own questions for topics specific to your context. Multi-language support lets you run a single survey across borders, with comment translation built in. Whatever the company size, the survey adapts to your structure and supports your priorities.

Yes. Survey data is hosted in the EU on AWS Frankfurt (an ISO 27001 certified data centre), and we're fully GDPR-compliant. Customer survey data is never used to train AI models. Single Sign-On is supported for organisations that want to integrate authentication with their existing business systems.
