Most employee surveys
fail at what comes next.
23% of employees globally are engaged; 9% of global GDP — roughly USD 8.9 trillion — is lost to disengagement (Gallup, State of the Global Workplace 2023). And yet, as Harvard Business Review has documented, most engagement surveys do not move that number: results arrive without action plans, managers fail to follow up, and the survey itself worsens trust (Cunningham & McCarthy, HBR, January 2017). The methodology is not the bottleneck. The bottleneck is what happens between measurement and decision.
Q2 Pulse · Priorities Alignment
Start from a defensible instrument.
Peer-reviewed scales (UWES — Schaufeli et al. 2006; WHO-5 — Topp et al. 2015 systematic review across 213 studies; OLBI, PHQ-4) coexist with custom dimensions you author. The engine does not force the choice; it enforces the structure underneath both:
- Item types covering 4- and 7-point Likert, forced-choice, open-ended, dichotomous and numeric inputs.
- Conditional branching at item and section level, governed by prior responses.
- Weighted scoring at item, dimension and total-score level — for quantitative assessment of declared psychological constructs.
- Multi-section instruments with explicit section boundaries and progress signalling.
- AI synthesis on open-ended responses, with theme extraction and sentiment classification.
Field with confidence in the response curve.
Response rate is the second silent killer of engagement programmes. Targeted fielding, monitored response curve and explicit cohort governance — so the response you get is the response you can defend:
- Field by organizational unit, defined team, or curated distribution list.
- Delivery, open and completion tracking, by cohort and by individual.
- Scheduled reminder cadence for non-respondents — configurable daily, weekly or monthly.
- Real-time monitoring of response curve and cohort coverage.
- Anonymous-at-write fielding where required by methodology or legal posture.
Close the gap between numbers and action.
Top-quartile engaged units outperform the bottom quartile by 23% in profitability and 18% in productivity, with 81% less absenteeism (Harter et al., Q12 Meta-Analysis, Gallup, 2020). Capturing that gap requires reading the survey beyond its averages:
- Theme extraction and synthesis on open-ended responses, with quoted evidence.
- Statistical significance testing across cohorts and across waves.
- Cohort segmentation by tenure, function, geography and other declared dimensions.
- Longitudinal trend analysis across repeated waves of the same instrument.
- Comparative analysis across cohorts and against historical baselines.
- Configurable scoring models with declared weights and dimensional aggregation.
- AI-drafted recommendations grounded in the underlying response data, not in priors.
