Pulse surveys measure performance across three factor types:

Within each factor there is a set of questions that are designed to measure that factor. The questions change every week to ensure that the factor is measured from many different angles, while keeping each pulse survey at the optimal length. In our years of research and running pulses, we know that not all of our questions need to be answered weekly so we vary their frequency.

Humans are excellent at a lot of things, but when it comes to understanding ourselves, we can sometimes need some help. Sometimes the results in our pulses can surprise us. One of the great benefits of using Everperform to track your performance is that you can look back over the past few months and observe how your performance has changed.

If you pulse survey results are lower than expected, you can ask yourself:

The first step to improving your performance is understanding it. By tracking your performance through pulses, you can increase your awareness of your performance.

Your pulse survey responses are visible to:

Your responses may also be made available to other relevant individuals such as project managers, temporary supervisors, or your organisation's human resources or people advisory team.

While anonymous surveys are popular in the corporate world, we believe that identified surveys are a more effective way to build trust, communication, and solve problems together.

At Everperform, we believe that trust is crucial to positive and effective working relationships between employees and managers. Providing a protected channel through which employees can have reflect on their own performance and share any concerns with their managers is something that Everperform is proud to champion.

Pulse surveys close four days after they open. If you miss a pulse and want to complete it, a system administrator can reopen it.

If you are unable to complete a pulse, your Performance Passport will still show all available data for the selected date range. The missed pulse will not affect your average performance scores.

Pulse surveys are a great opportunity to reflect and provide feedback on your performance. You can enter new observations about your performance into your Performance Passport at any time via the Observations tab, as well as within pulses.

The Lead Indicator library is a set template that runs on a predetermined schedule, with the questions being set by Everperform, and the timing of when the schedule is run being determined as part of onboarding.

However, there is a variety of other pulses that can be either created, or set from a recommended Everperform Library.

Things that are covered include:

These surveys are configurable by Administrators in the Pulse area of the application.
