Overview

Pulse is an IdealTraits built-in tool for gathering quick feedback from your employees. With short check-ins of up to 5 questions, you can understand team morale, engagement, and satisfaction without relying on lengthy surveys or external tools.

Pulse gives you real-time insight into how your employees are feeling so you can act quickly to improve retention, strengthen culture, and address challenges before they escalate.

Why Pulse Matters

Boost Retention

Replacing an employee can cost 50%-200% of their annual salary. Pulse helps you identify and resolve issues early to prevent avoidable turnover.

Increase Engagement

Employees are more likely to stay and participate when they see feedback leading to meaningful change.

Save Time

Surveys take less than a minute to complete and are fully integrated into IdealTraits with no separate platforms or logins required.

  • You review insights and take action.

When to Use Pulse
