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.

Illustration of three routes from collected data to real change, none of which arrives: the red one ends at a barrier because nothing comes back, the blue one fades out because it takes too long, and the green one is blocked several times because there is no roadmap.

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.

Teams Act on Their Own Results

Every employee in the organisation can access the results directly and has the structure to turn them into improvements. No waiting for HR. No leaving managers to figure it out on their own.

Open Results

All employees can access the survey results directly and start working with them immediately, without waiting for HR or management to share a summary.

Guided Results Discussion

AI-supported sessions guide teams from findings to concrete action plans, step by step. Managers get the structure to lead the conversation and define next steps with confidence, even without a coaching background.

Local Improvements, Organisation-Wide Impact

Teams solve what they can solve, with the support they need to act on it. HR and management focus on what only they can tackle.

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.

More on this in our blog article: Top-down or bottom-up employee surveys, which approach is better?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
