Qualtrics Employee Pulse Surveys is a cloud-based solution designed to help organizations collect, analyze, and act on employee feedback at regular intervals. Unlike annual engagement surveys, pulse surveys are shorter, more frequent, and focused on tracking specific issues, trends, or populations over time. The platform enables HR teams and managers to monitor employee sentiment, identify emerging concerns, and respond quickly to workforce needs. By supporting agile feedback cycles, Qualtrics Pulse Surveys help organizations foster a culture of continuous listening and improvement.
