FAQ
Common questions
How often should employee pulse surveys run?
Many frontline teams start with one or two check-ins per week, then adjust by season, staffing level, and employee response patterns.
Can HeyPulse import custom HRIS fields?
Yes. Extra CSV columns can be stored as metadata and used for filtering, targeting, and reporting.
