A pulse survey is a short, frequent survey sent to employees on a regular schedule, such as weekly or fortnightly. Unlike an annual survey, it gives your organization a continuous picture of how people are feeling at work, not just a snapshot once a year.
Vantage Pulse is the platform your organization uses to run these surveys. Questions are sent to you automatically, take just a few minutes to answer, and your responses are always completely anonymous.
Why your responses matter
- Your feedback is one of the most direct ways to make your voice heard at work. HR and leadership can only act on what they know about.
- Pulse surveys give you a channel to raise concerns, highlight what’s working, and flag things that need attention before they become bigger problems.
- Survey results are reviewed by your HR team and used to make decisions about workplace improvements, new policies, and how the organization is run.
- Because surveys run continuously throughout your tenure, your input is captured at every stage of your journey, from onboarding through to long-term employment.
