Pulse Surveys

Welcome to the Pulse Surveys feature guide in DecisionHR. The guide aims to ensure that you know how Pulse Surveys aims to serve you best and how you can efficiently use the feature as an employee. Here's how Pulse Surveys benefit you and how to participate effectively:

What are Pulse Surveys?

Pulse Surveys are short, frequent surveys that allow you to share your thoughts and opinions on various aspects of your work environment. Unlike lengthy annual surveys, they are designed to be quick and easy to complete and offer timely insights into employee sentiments.

Pulse surveys help you voice your opinions. Depending on what the survey is for, you can share your feedback on important issues with management. They can then use your responses to make important decisions that can positively change your organization.

How to Access Pulse Surveys

After logging in to your DecisionHR account, click on the Pulse Surveys section in the sidebar of your dashboard.

Participating in Pulse Surveys

In the Pulse Surveys section, there are two tabs. They are:

• Assigned to Me
• My Surveys

Assigned to Me

This tab shows surveys that the survey creator assigned to you as a respondent. In this tab, you can perform the following actions:

• See completed surveys: View and add new information about the surveys you participated in.
• See Available Surveys: View a list of all available surveys you are a respondent to.
• Select a Survey: Click on a survey to start. These are designed to be short and typically take only a few minutes to complete.
• Answer Honestly: Provide honest and thoughtful responses to the questions.
• Submit Your Survey: Once you've answered all the questions, click Submit to send your responses.

My Surveys

In this tab, you can create or see surveys that you created or an editor. As an employee, you create surveys to gather work-related information from your colleagues.

To create a new survey, click this tab's Create Survey button. This click opens a new modal with a two-step field for you to successfully create a Pulse Survey. The first step fields include:
