Maximising Employee Engagement with Employee Pulse Surveys
Employee engagement is a critical component of a successful workplace culture. But without regular feedback from employees, it can be difficult to understand what is working well and what needs improvement. That's where employee pulse surveys come in.
Download reportWhat are Employee Pulse Surveys?
Employee pulse surveys are short, focused surveys that gather feedback from employees on a regular basis. Unlike traditional employee satisfaction surveys, which can take hours to complete, employee pulse surveys are designed to be quick and easy, taking no more than 5-10 minutes. By regularly gathering feedback from employees, HR leaders, board level influencers, and HR managers can stay informed on what is working well and what needs improvement in the workplace.
To get the most out of your employee pulse surveys, it's important to ask the right questions.
