Blink surveys help managers of all levels bring out the best in their teams.

So whether you're a seasoned leader, new to the role figuring things out on your own, Blink's survey will help you to figure out where you can deliver the most impact for your team and the broader company.

Why survey your company?

  • It gives everyone a safe space to share genuine feelings about their satisfaction at work.

  • Surveys result in actionable insights that create a framework for managers to develop their leadership skills.

  • With clear signposting, leaders can focus on improving employee satisfaction, addressing areas of concern, and closing the loop with the frontline. This results in the company holding on to its best talent and attracting the employees you want.

What types of surveys can I send?

Single-question Pulse surveys

Pulse surveys are typically distributed more frequently, giving you a clearer view of changing attitudes and sentiments. But, to get that clear view, you need high response rates. That's why Blink Pulse surveys allow you to ask just one question.

Multiple-question surveys

Using the Blink survey builder, you can build and distribute Onboarding, Engagement, well-being, DEI, and almost any other type of survey you can imagine to your workforce.

Survey privacy and results

Pulse surveys

Pulse surveys are always 100% anonymous. There is no way for anyone to identify participants personally.


To protect participant privacy:

  • Every Pulse survey must be sent to at least three people

  • Results are not viewable until at least three users have responded

  • Blink cannot link responses to individuals

Survey Builder: Anonymous surveys

Anonymous surveys created with Survey Builder follow the same privacy protections as Pulse surveys:

  • No user information is collected

  • Results cannot be linked to individual respondents

  • Minimum 3 responses required before results are viewable

Survey Builder: Trackable surveys

Trackable surveys are designed for situations where you need to collect specific, identifiable information:

  • Admins select which user profile fields to track when creating the survey

  • Employees see a clear notification of which fields are being tracked before participating

  • Individual responses with tracked data are only available via CSV export

  • Minimum 5 responses required before results can be exported

Exporting survey results

Survey results from Survey Builder (both Anonymous and Trackable) can be exported as CSV files for further analysis:

Export requirements:

  • The survey must be closed (either by reaching its due date or by being manually closed by an admin)

  • Minimum 5 responses required

  • Available to Organisation Admins and Group Admins (if they admin all surveyed groups)

What's included in exports:

  • Anonymous surveys: Survey questions and responses only (no user data)

  • Trackable surveys: Survey questions, responses, and the specific user profile fields selected during survey creation
