Pulse survey
A short, frequent survey used to track employee sentiment.
A pulse survey is a short, frequent questionnaire used to track employee sentiment in near real time, complementing deeper annual surveys. Its brevity encourages high response rates and lets teams spot trends and react quickly rather than waiting a year. As a core employee listening tool, it gives an ongoing read on engagement and morale, helping ensure the internal experience keeps matching the external promise.
