Organization Admins and Content Moderators can create and see the results of surveys.
What are pulse surveys?
Pulse surveys are typically concise surveys distributed frequently to your entire workforce, giving you a clearer view of changing attitudes and sentiments.
Shorter
The shorter the survey, the higher the participation you can expect. That's why we believe pulse surveys should be just one question.
Regular
Equipped with your previous pulse survey results, you can put a plan in place to make any necessary changes. Then, rather than waiting months or even a year to see if these changes are having the desired impact, you can ask the same people a similar question the following month.
💡 Here at Blink, this method allows us to spot trends sooner, focus on driving changes that help retain our best talent, and continually improve Blink as a workplace, which in turn helps us attract the needed employees.
