Employee Pulse Survey Template

A pulse survey is only useful as a series, so this one is short enough to repeat and worded so the answers mean the same thing every round. Send it unchanged each time: edit a question between rounds and the trend breaks. Every round works on its own on any plan, and Portfolio Insights on Pro reads several rounds together to show what changed.

5 questions, 1 required
Free plan, no card needed

What respondents see

Every question below, exactly as it will appear. Nothing here needs editing before you send it, though you can change any of it once the survey is yours.

What you get back

Results arrive as charts per question, and one click turns them into an executive summary, key findings and recommended actions. That is included on every plan, free included, and every figure in the summary is calculated in code rather than written by the model, so it cannot disagree with the chart beside it. See a finished report from a real 144 response survey.
