Employees are on the move. And if you’re not staying on top of the constant change of ebbs and flows in your workplace, you could find yourself in a very difficult situation with low employee engagement and high turnover. So what can you do to prevent this?

New Call-to-action

Well, our research has shown that 64% of employees surveyed said they want their direct supervisor to ask them for opportunities to improve their workplace. So instead of waiting for the annual survey to gather employee feedback, leverage pulsing surveys. Since these surveys are sent out weekly or biweekly, you’ll be able to do real-time tracking of how employees are really feeling.

Let’s be honest, sentiment can change at the drop of a dime. So instead of constantly fearing when your next employee will leave, get ahead of the game. Use pulsing surveys to gather honest employee feedback, and immediately address any issues or concerns your staff might have now.
