For Employees & Team Members
Zero Audience Pressure & Complete Confidentiality

Replying in a public channel can trigger anxiety about how coworkers or managers might interpret your response. Pulse surveys arrive confidentially in your Slack DMs.

  • Private 1-on-1 DM: Answer quick questions directly without opening third-party browser tabs.
  • Aggregated Results: Your individual responses are blinded and aggregated to protect your identity.
  • Quick One-Click Buttons: Multiple-choice and rating scales make feedback fast and frictionless.
For Executives & People Ops
Ground-Truth Data & Inquiries Without Executive Title Bias

Long annual surveys arrive too late to prevent attrition. Pulse surveys give leadership real-time temperature checks and the ability to ask ground-level inquiries without executive presence distorting the data.

  • Executive Inquiries: Float questions to gauge real frontline opinions on strategy or culture without the CEO title creating artificial panic.
  • Automated Pulse Cadence: Schedule recurring weekly temperature checks or quarterly deep-dives.
  • Target Usergroups: Filter surveys to specific departments (e.g. [Sales], [Engineering]) or all staff.
