Go Pulse Surveys and Polls FAQs What types of employee feedback can I collect with Oak’s Polls and Pulse Surveys tool? You can collect a vast array of feedback. With Polls, it’s in-the-moment, short answers and it can be as serious or playful as you like. With our Pulse Survey tool, you can easily create different types of questions to get the right format of responses that will help your result analysis. Plus, you can tailor the questions to different segments of your internal audiences and change this up regularly. You can centre your Pulse Surveys and Polls around any of the pillars of employee experience, from engagement and wellbeing to onboarding, change initiatives and day-to-day sentiment. Can I reach remote and frontline employees with a Pulse Surveys tool? Yes, with Oak’s polling and employee Pulse Survey software, you can reach every type of worker, from frontline and deskless to desk-based and remote employees, thanks to easy mobile and desktop access. Making real time employee feedback accessible to all is crucial to encourage high participation and ease of response. Plus, keeping it short and sweet will capture attention and ensure engagement, despite their busy days. How can a Pulse Survey tool and Polls build trust with employees? Regularly asking for input and reiterating that you will listen to each person’s voice shows that feedback matters. By acknowledging and acting on employee insights, you create a transparent listening culture where every voice feels valued and in turn, people feel more willing to share their thoughts in the future. This delivers significant uplifts in engagement, motivation and retention with an increased feeling of trust and belonging. What is the primary difference between a traditional employee satisfaction survey and a modern Pulse Survey tool? Traditional employee satisfaction surveys are typically annual and provide a static snapshot of employee sentiment at that point in time. Pulse Surveys are shorter, less bulky and more frequent, allowing organisations to track trends in real-time so they can respond with appropriate actions quickly. Pulse Surveys are easier to launch and take action on because you have a timely and relevant snapshot of employee sentiment at different periods throughout the year instead of one large annual influx of information that becomes difficult to prioritise. How often should we run Pulse Surveys and Polls? Feedback is most effective when it is regular and embedded in daily routines. Our Pulse Surveys and Polls tools enable quick, informal check-ins and capture honest sentiment, without overwhelming employees. You can use employee Pulse Survey software to gather real time employee feedback around key initiatives, change activity and other internal updates whether it’s weekly, monthly or campaign based. Can I analyse Pulse Survey data by team, role or location? Absolutely. Oak’s employee Pulse Survey software enables you to segment who sees certain questions in your surveys. You can then analyse feedback on a team, role, department or location basis to spot trends within these groups. Having the capability to segment what you’re asking and what you’re analysing means you can get more specific employee insight rather than a blanket overview. Understanding employee sentiment from certain groups within the workforce helps you to make better decisions and take targeted action if something that’s working in one area isn’t working in another.
