Employee Survey Tool
Employee Surveys Built for Improvement
Insights for HR. Action for every team.
Improvements where the work happens.
Asking Is the Easy Part
Too Many Employee Surveys Stop at the Report
Only 8% of employees strongly agree that their organisation takes action on survey results¹.
The intent is there. The path from data to change isn't. It usually breaks at one of three points.
Employees Get Nothing Back
The report goes to HR and the leadership team. Neither the findings nor the decisions reach the teams.
Weeks Before Anything Happens
Too much time passes between analysis, prioritisation and implementation. By then, sentiment has moved on.
Good Intentions, No Process
Team leads are expected to work with the results, but often don't know how.
A survey with no visible follow-through does more harm than good.

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.
«With Pulse Feedback, we enable employees to see the results of their team and the organisation immediately. This creates the basis for teams and departments to take action and implement measures and improvements themselves.»

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Pulse Feedback compare to other employee survey tools?
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.
More on this in our blog article: Top-down or bottom-up employee surveys, which approach is better?
How quickly can I launch an employee survey?
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.
How does Pulse Feedback turn open-ended responses into actionable insights?
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.
Are surveys anonymous, or are results visible to others?
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.
Can I customise surveys for my organisation?
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.
Is Pulse Feedback secure and GDPR-compliant?
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.
How can I make sure my employee survey has a real effect?
What matters is what happens after the survey. Pulse Feedback is built to turn answers into action: teams see their own results directly and define concrete next steps in the guided results discussion, and the effect of those steps can be checked in the next round.

What does Pulse Feedback cost for employee surveys?
Employee surveys with Pulse Feedback cost at most CHF 5 per person per month on the annual plan, CHF 6 on the monthly plan. Above 250 users it gets cheaper per person. Included is the Employee Surveys module with all features and an unlimited number of surveys. If you also use 360-degree feedback, the Feedback Bundle covers both modules for at most CHF 8 on the annual plan, CHF 9.60 monthly. Full details on the pricing page.
Who are employee surveys with Pulse Feedback right for?
Pulse Feedback is particularly suited to organisations with 100 to 5,000 employees. It delivers most where something is genuinely meant to happen after the survey: the software is built to turn answers into concrete actions rather than produce another report. It is less of a fit if your main aim is to collect a large set of metrics for central reporting. And for organisations under 100 employees, a simpler and cheaper tool is usually enough.
