Pulse survey software in action
The employee pulse survey software that amplifies every voice
Start understanding
Many organisations rely on assumptions instead of insight. Employee pulse survey software gives you a continuous view of sentiment, helping you understand what’s landing and where friction exists. With Oak, feedback becomes a daily habit rather than a once-a-year exercise.
Increase participation
Low response rates lead to unreliable insights. By embedding employee pulse survey software into social feeds and daily workflows, employees can respond in seconds. This drives higher participation and provides a more accurate picture of your workforce.
Make people feel valued
Employee voice should never stop. With continuous listening tools, personalised onboarding flows and structured feedback forms, you can build a culture where employees feel valued. Use employee pulse survey software to ensure your people are involved in shaping the organisation’s future.
Built for your industry
Retail
Discover how your retail staff really feel from the miniscule to the most important decisions. Use quick, gamified pulses to test-drive new merchandising ideas before roll-out, vote on the best holiday floor-sets, or get insights into how a new product is performing. Streamline insights from the floor to head office instantly.
Healthcare
Reach healthcare staff across multiple locations. When teams are on their feet all day, feedback needs to be multiple-choice. Use micro-pulses to let nurses and tech staff vote on which shift-handover process works best or choose the next focus for the breakroom upgrade budget.
Manufacturing
Unify your manufacturing frontline with management. Bridge the gap between the front office and the assembly line with micro-surveys built for heavy-duty environments. Check that your people have everything they need, choose the best time slot for the weekly safety briefing, or pick the next operational bottleneck the engineering team should fix.
Hospitality
No hospitality shift is the same, and things change by the hour. Use bite-sized pulses to let servers rate the new seasonal menu, potential product flavours or let the team pick their preferred weekend side-work rotation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between an employee pulse survey software and a standard poll?
Think of a poll as a quick, one-question temperature check—ideal for instant voting on specific things like choosing a new shift rotation, picking a breakroom upgrade, or getting immediate feedback on a new product.
An employee pulse survey is slightly deeper but still fast. It usually consists of 3 to 5 lightweight questions tracked over time to measure ongoing sentiment, like tracking burnout levels on a manufacturing floor or gauging how a new corporate policy is landing across multiple retail locations.
How do embedded pulse surveys increase response rates?
Traditional surveys fail because they require employees to log into external systems, find a link in a buried email, or do it on their own time. Oak embeds surveys and polls directly into the flow of work—right on the intranet homepage, mobile app, or social feeds. Because frontline workers can vote or answer in three taps while checking their schedules, participation skyrockets.
How often should we send pulse surveys without causing survey fatigue?
The secret to avoiding fatigue isn't sending fewer surveys; it's acting on the ones you do send. If employees see that voting on a bottleneck actually gets it fixed, they will keep responding. Generally, we recommend a weekly or bi-weekly single-question poll for frontline teams, and a monthly or quarterly pulse survey for broader company sentiment.
Can pulse surveys and polls be targeted to specific departments or locations?
Absolutely. Frontline retail associates shouldn't be asked about corporate office perks. Oak allows you to segment your audience entirely. You can push a safety briefing poll exclusively to a specific manufacturing plant, or a shift-handover pulse survey solely to the night-shift nursing staff at a particular healthcare facility.
