What pulse survey software does

See what your team says, then decide what to do.

Pulse survey software lets you ask a short set of questions regularly and review changes over time. StaffHero shows grouped results in an engagement heatmap and suggests areas to review.

If you are still planning your first pulse, read the practical guide to employee pulse surveys. You can also see how StaffHero fits into the wider product workflow.

From survey to next action

Send the pulse, then act on what comes back.

  • Send: deliver the pulse on schedule through a private response link.
  • Review: see grouped results and patterns once enough people have responded.
  • Choose: select one of the suggested areas and track the next step.
How each pulse is built

A short standard pulse with room for context.

The standard Monthly Pulse has six scored questions: one eNPS question and five rotating topic questions. Optional comment fields let employees add context to their ratings. The pulse can also end with an optional final open-text question.

  • Always: one eNPS recommendation question
  • Rotating: five rotating topic questions from the question bank
  • Timing: a standard seven-day response window with a standard reminder two days before close

Grouped reporting

Protect small groups before showing results.

Managers only see grouped reporting for groups with enough responses. You can raise the configurable thresholds, but score and open-text results have a hard floor of five. The open-text threshold must be at least as high as the score threshold.

Results for smaller groups stay hidden. This reduces the risk of exposing an individual response while still showing results for groups that meet the threshold. Read how StaffHero handles confidential feedback.

What the threshold changes

Visibility depends on group size

A team or segment must meet its response threshold before results appear. Comments can require more responses than scores.

Who StaffHero is for

Built for teams without a big HR department.

StaffHero is for founders, managers, and small HR teams that want regular employee feedback without buying a full HR suite. It shows results in groups and helps you decide what to do next.

What StaffHero does not replace

Keep your existing systems for wider HR work.

StaffHero is not a full HRIS. It does not replace payroll, compensation, performance management, recruiting, or workforce administration. Its job is narrower: running employee surveys and helping you turn grouped results into a next step.
