Getting Started with Pulse
Pulse in Wave gives you a consistent way to check in with your team each week. It helps you understand how your people are feeling, how aligned they are with company goals, and where support might be needed.
Every great company knows that alignment and engagement drive performance. Pulse helps you measure both. By collecting short, regular feedback from your team, you can identify patterns early, strengthen communication, and create a culture of transparency.
Pulse is designed to fit seamlessly into your rhythm. It only takes a few minutes to complete, but the insights it provides can make a lasting impact on how your organization operates and grows.
How Pulse Works
Each week, Wave automatically sends out a simple check-in to your team. The questions are designed to capture honest feedback on alignment, workload, and engagement without adding extra work.
Pulse connects with other parts of Wave, allowing you to see how team sentiment aligns with progress on Rocks, Scorecards, and Projects. This creates a complete picture of both performance and morale.
Admins and managers can track trends over time, helping to spot small issues before they become big problems and celebrate areas of consistent improvement.
