Why should you run pulse checks?

Because you ask regularly, you notice shifts in sentiment straight away. That lets you act before small problems become big ones and take the needs of both the organisation and its employees into account.

Between two full employee surveys, a pulse check shows whether the measures you have introduced are working or whether you need to adjust course.

Monthly results reveal how things develop over several months, making it easier to put individual outliers into context.

Your employees get a say not just once, but on an ongoing basis. That shows them their opinion counts.

Your employees contribute valuable ideas for developing your corporate strategy. Use the suggestions with the strongest support to advance your business goals.

As soon as responses come in, the data is there. There is no need to wait until the end of a long survey period.

Because the results are available straight away, you can share them promptly with managers and employees and draw conclusions together.

Your HR team can create, run and analyse pulse checks entirely on its own, without external service providers.

Employees can respond on a computer, tablet or smartphone, so you also reach staff who do not work at a desk.

With 5 to 10 questions, a pulse check takes little time to answer. That keeps the burden on employees low and helps prevent survey fatigue.
