It provides an ongoing pulse on employee sentiment, measures employee engagement levels and satisfaction with their work environment.The focus is on the level of collaboration and teamwork within a specific team or department.  It typically includes reflections about job satisfaction, workload, work-life balance, and team culture.

Live pulse feedback is a seamless storytelling companion for individual teams and the organization as a whole.

#5. Continuous Improvement

  • Why it matters

    Live pulse feedback supports a culture of continuous improvement. Employees asked about their experiences working with colleagues, team dynamics, and whether they feel supported and included in the team. This feedback measures employees' perceptions of diversity and inclusion within the organization, and the impact on their performance and career growth.

By monitoring feedback in real-time, organizations can spot patterns, identify potential challenges, and take proactive steps to resolve issues promptly. This proactive approach can help prevent larger problems from arising. Live pulse feedback is not a “complaints channel”. By being a contextual evidence, it helps teams to resolve internal and cross-team issues proactively. Significant reduction in escalations improves organizational culture and reduces management overheads.
