Quick answer

Half-yearly is too slow and daily surveys get ignored — 5–6 fixed items, two minutes a week, anonymous by default, so morale shifts surface while they are still fixable.

About this template

A pulse survey is a short, frequent check-in — usually 4–6 questions — that tracks how your team feels week by week. Answers stay anonymous, trends are visible at a glance, and small dips surface long before they become exits.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a pulse survey?
A short, repeated check-in (4–6 questions) that tracks team morale week by week instead of one big annual survey.
How often should we run it?
Weekly or biweekly works best — frequent enough to catch dips, short enough that people actually answer.
Is it free to use?
Yes. Copy it into your FormLM workspace, adjust the questions and reuse every round.
Are responses anonymous?
Yes, by default nothing is attributed to an individual, which is what makes the feedback honest.
Can we change the questions?
Yes. Add, remove or edit items — but keep the wording stable across rounds so trends stay comparable.
Why use FormLM instead of a static form?
Because a pulse only works as a trend: responses accumulate in one place and every round produces a readable summary instead of a spreadsheet dump.
