Employee Pulse

Conducting quick checks on our culture is essential for us at D&I. We believe that “what gets measured, improves” as the famous management consultant, Peter Ferdinand Drucker said. A simple, 7-15 statement survey is enough to recognize progress, keep attention on culture priorities, and help determine what we can improve and how.

We use an Employee Pulse when we want to:

  • Help our team own culture development – provide data for action.

  • Measure our progress – provide evidence of whether the culture at work is having an impact.

  • Understand the employee experience – create a means to listen to everyone so that we can understand how culture is evolving.

  • Explore the effects of changes – evaluate the positive or unanticipated impacts of change on critical aspects of our culture. (for example, communication)

Our Approach

  • Choose only 1-2 culture priority areas to focus on.

  • These areas must be robust and relevant.

  • We use well-constructed, research-based survey statements.

  • Then Scale it down to 7-15 comments and 1-2 open-ended questions.

  • We always make sure to use a survey engine that’s quick and easy for everyone to work with.

  • It’s essential to sequence carefully, 6 months after a change or survey.

  • Always provide detailed reports to the team so that we can really see the progress and hear the voices of our colleagues.

  • We make it confidential. To help everyone feel safe by using a third-party survey operator.

  • We also make it private.

  • It’s always secure. We make sure to use practices and systems to minimize data breaches.
