Discover EvalFlow's new Pulse Surveys feature, empowering real-time employee engagement and feedback for a more connected, satisfied workforce – all at no extra cost.
We are thrilled to announce the launch of Pulse Surveys on EvalFlow – a new, integrated way to capture employee feedback and gauge engagement in real time. Best of all, this powerful feature is available immediately to all EvalFlow customers at no extra cost. No tiers, no paywalls – just more value added to your existing subscription.
EvalFlow Pulse Surveys enable organizations of all sizes to take the pulse of their team through quick, anonymous surveys. In under 30 seconds, employees can share how they feel, providing leadership with actionable insights into morale, satisfaction, and potential issues before they escalate. This launch reinforces our commitment to continuously deliver incremental value to our customers, helping you foster a happier, more engaged workforce without any additional fees.
Pulse surveys are short, focused surveys conducted at regular intervals (e.g. monthly or quarterly) to quickly assess employee sentiment and engagement. Unlike lengthy annual engagement surveys, pulse surveys are brief and frequent – giving you instant insight into your team’s morale, workload, and concerns. They act as a real-time barometer of your workplace climate, so you can respond proactively to trends. By integrating this capability, EvalFlow makes it effortless to weave employee feedback into your everyday management routine.
High employee engagement is directly linked to better performance, lower turnover, and a stronger company culture. However, traditional annual surveys or one-off feedback sessions often miss critical shifts in sentiment that happen between review cycles. This is where pulse surveys shine: by gathering feedback continuously, you ensure every employee’s voice is heard throughout the year. For HR professionals and founders alike, this means you can identify brewing issues early, celebrate wins in real time, and maintain a continuous dialogue with your team. The result is a more agile, responsive workplace where people feel valued and heard.
EvalFlow Pulse Surveys have been designed from the ground up to be easy, insightful, and completely secure. Here are some of the standout benefits and features now at your fingertips:
Quick & Effortless Feedback: Pulse surveys are incredibly quick for employees to complete – typically just one or two questions at a time. The mobile-friendly design means team members can respond in seconds, even on the go. This high ease-of-use boosts participation rates and provides you with more representative feedback across your organization.
Anonymous & Trustworthy: We built privacy into the core of Pulse Surveys. Responses are completely anonymous, and results are only shown in aggregate once a minimum response threshold is met. This encourages honest feedback and builds trust – employees can be candid without fear of being identified. By ensuring confidentiality, you get truer insights into how your people really feel.
Employee Engagement Metrics: Every Pulse Survey can include an Employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS) question – a simple 0-10 rating that measures how likely your team is to recommend your company as a place to work. EvalFlow automatically calculates your eNPS and tracks it over time, giving you a clear, quantifiable measure of engagement. Watch this score for trends: if it rises, your culture efforts are paying off; if it falls, you know to investigate and take action.
Actionable Insights & Alerts: Pulse Surveys aren’t just a static report – they feed directly into EvalFlow’s intelligent insights system. Our platform analyzes pulse feedback alongside other performance signals to spot patterns and alert you to potential issues. For example, a significant drop in survey scores will automatically flag HR or managers with a proactive alert in their Daily Briefing. By connecting the dots between feedback and outcomes (like productivity or turnover risk), EvalFlow helps you intervene early and decisively. Your AI Assistant in EvalFlow also considers Pulse Survey results when answering your questions about team morale or identifying at-risk employees, so you get richer context and recommendations.
Easy Customization & Scheduling: With our intuitive survey builder, you can create custom pulse questions or choose from expert-crafted templates. Tailor questions to what matters most for your team – whether it’s morale after a big project, feedback on a new policy, or general wellness check-ins. You also have full control over scheduling: send surveys at the frequency that makes sense (monthly, quarterly, or any cadence). Built-in survey fatigue protection ensures you won’t over-survey your employees – you can set minimum gaps between pulses and a monthly limit, so feedback remains meaningful and doesn’t become a chore for your team.
Real-Time Dashboard Analytics: All Pulse Survey responses feed into a real-time analytics dashboard within EvalFlow. Instantly see participation rates, average scores, eNPS trends, and breakout analytics (e.g., by department or location) in a visual, easy-to-understand format. The dashboard highlights changes over time, so you can quickly spot improvements or declines in engagement. Filter by date or team to drill down, and export reports if needed to share insights with leadership.
Bilingual Support: In line with our mission to serve diverse teams, Pulse Surveys are launching with full English and French support. Employees can respond in the language they’re most comfortable with, and administrators can create surveys in either language (with more languages planned in the future). This ensures inclusive feedback across multilingual workforces and is especially valuable for our many customers in bilingual regions.
Every organization that cares about its people can benefit from EvalFlow’s Pulse Surveys. This feature is ideal for:
Small and Medium Businesses: Without a large HR department, SMBs can now effortlessly keep a finger on the pulse of employee sentiment. Pulse Surveys help founders and managers of growing teams identify concerns early, boost morale, and build a positive culture from the ground up.
HR Leaders and People Ops: For HR professionals, Pulse Surveys provide hard data on engagement to complement your intuition. Easily monitor the impact of your HR initiatives (like a new benefits program or remote work policy) by seeing how engagement scores change over time. Use the insights to drive targeted improvements and demonstrate HR’s strategic value with metrics like eNPS.
Managers and Team Leads: Front-line managers gain a direct line of sight into their team’s well-being. Regular pulse feedback can uncover issues that might not surface in day-to-day conversations. Managers can address small problems before they become big ones, recognize team wins in real time, and foster a culture of openness. It’s a powerful tool to become a more empathetic, effective leader.
In short, if you want to cultivate a high-engagement workplace where employees feel heard and valued, EvalFlow Pulse Surveys will be a game-changer for you.
