You can still use Pulse Surveys with your company if you haven’t subscribed to the Elevate package for Unlimited Surveys. You can run 4 surveys per year using the curated question banks included with your account.

You can upgrade anytime to create additional surveys customized to your company’s needs seamlessly.

To start, click the Pulse Surveys link on your Admin menu, then Create Survey.

Participants

From there, select your participants. You can pick the entire company or create a targeted survey by selecting specific departments, teams, or locations.

Survey Details

Name and Description

First, give your survey a name. ‘Monthly Pulse Survey’ is the default, but we recommend changing that to something more meaningful to your employees. You can also add a description, which will be included in the notification. Use that space to tell your employees why you’re running the survey, what you hope to learn, etc.

Start date

You can start the survey immediately (that’s the default) or schedule it for a later time.

Frequency

How often do you want the survey to run? You can run a one-time survey or schedule it to repeat weekly, monthly, quarterly, etc.

Enable the ‘Avoid Weekends’ toggle and any time a survey is scheduled to start on a Saturday or Sunday. We’ll hold it until Monday instead.

Deadline

How long do you want to give your employees to respond? Adding a deadline to allow HR Admins to analyze data before the next round of responses can be helpful. You might allow employees to answer for 2 or 3 weeks with a monthly repeat. You can adjust that interval however you need.

End

The end date is the date of the last repeat of your survey. For example, if your monthly survey starts January 1, and you want to run it for 6 months, add an end date of June 30.

This is optional–your survey can run forever if you want!

Questionnaire

With the free version of the survey, you can select from one of our 3 curated question banks. Click the Preview button to see the questions.

The limited version doesn’t allow you to customize the questionnaire, so consider upgrading to get the full experience!

Notifications

If you have it configured, you can notify your employees via email or Slack. We can also send a reminder seven days before the survey deadline.

Results

When the survey is done, you can view the results. Use the filters to drill down into data by department, team, or location.

Use the Share button to let non-admins see the results.

Upgrading

For unlimited Pulse Surveys, upgrade to our Elevate plan, which can be found on our Pricing page.
