Frequently asked questions about employee engagement software

Find answers to our most asked questions about the Inpulse platform and employee engagement survey software.

Employee engagement is the strength of people’s commitment, motivation and advocacy at work. Inpulse measures engagement using a balanced framework: an Engagement Index (core drivers like purpose, leadership, manager trust and growth), advocacy/eNPS-style items, and emotion insights that explain why scores move, so leaders get a clear, actionable view, not just a single number.


Most of our clients can launch quickly, because we provide ready-to-use question banks, templates and guided setup. Our team supports question design, comms and rollout, reducing admin for HR and internal comms. You get fast insight without a big project, ideal for busy teams.


An annual survey provides a broad baseline across the whole organisation, while pulse surveys are shorter, more frequent check-ins that track progress and spot risks early. Inpulse helps you combine both into a continuous listening strategy, annual for depth, pulses for momentum, so engagement improves year-round.


Inpulse turns results into clear headlines, hotspots and recommended next actions for leaders and managers. Dashboards highlight what’s changing, where it’s concentrated (team/site/role) and what’s driving it, so managers can run better conversations, prioritise actions and track progress over time.


Benchmarking is useful only when it leads to action. Inpulse helps you compare results by team, location, role and trend over time, and we focus on the “so what”: which drivers will shift engagement most. Our advisory team helps interpret results in context, so benchmarks become decisions, not vanity scores.
