Working with surveys

Surveys help you measure how engaged and motivated your employees are. The Employee Engagement solution offers three survey tools: Employee Pulse SurveyeNPS Survey, and 360-Degree Feedback.

Employee Pulse Survey

An Employee Pulse Survey helps you quickly assess employee engagement and see what’s working in the company and what isn’t. Pulse surveys can be different, but they generally consist of short questions that can be answered in a few minutes. This allows you to carry them out frequently and track changes over time.

Making a pulse survey

By default, anyone in the company can carry out a pulse survey. To make a new pulse survey, follow these steps:

  1. Open the Employee Pulse Survey app, click the +Employee Pulse Survey button and fill out the fields:

work-with-employee-engagement-surveys-1

  • Survey name*. Enter the name of the pulse survey.
  • Purpose of this survey. Describe the purpose of the survey if needed.
  • Is this survey anonymous?*. Select Yes to make the survey anonymous.
  • Question type*. Select the type of questions from the list. All questions in the survey will be of the same type.
    • Text is used for open-ended questions that need a detailed answer.
    • Likert Scale presents a scale that ranges from Strongly disagree to Strongly agree.
    • Rating means the answer will be a number on a scale from 1 to 10.
  • Employees*. Select users who are going to take part in the survey.
  1. After you select the survey type, the Questionnaire table will appear at the bottom of the form.

Click the empty cell and start typing a question from the Library of Questions or click the magnifying glass icon on the right and select a question from the list.

Important: you have to press Enter or click an empty space on the form to add the question to the table. If you save the survey without it, the question won’t be added.

If the question you need is not in the library yet, you can add it while creating a survey. On the right side panel, click the Create a new question button and fill out the form. The question will be added to the Library of Questions, so you will be able to select it in the table and reuse it later.

  1. When you add all the questions to the table, click Save. All employees specified in the Employees* field get the task to give their response.

Taking part in a pulse survey

When a new pulse survey is created, all users specified in the Employees* field are assigned the task to fill out the questionnaire.

Employees specified in the survey will have two days to give their responses. When all the employees finish answering the survey questions or when the two days’ deadline expires, the user who made the survey is assigned the task to view the results.

For anonymous surveys, the task form only includes a summary table without personal details. If the survey’s question type is Text, the table includes employee responses without their authors. If the type is Likert Scale or Rating, the table shows response statistics. 

If the survey isn’t anonymous, the task form also includes links to responses saved in the Employee Responses app.

When you view the responses, click Done. The Employee Pulse Survey business process will finish.

You can access the survey’s results later. To do that, go to the Employee Pulse Survey app, click the survey you need, and open the Statistics tab.

eNPS Survey

eNPS stands for Employer Net Promoter Score. The survey measures employee loyalty using short questions that allows employees to rate their job satisfaction (for example, “On a scale of 1 to 10, how likely are you to recommend us as a place of work to your friends?”). A survey like this is generally conducted every 6 to 12 months.

You can find eNPS survey statistics on the Dashboard page.
