Team Pulse is a powerful listening tool that uses the power of questions to unlock valuable insights from employees for managers and leaders. Learn more in Introduction to Team Pulse.
Admins can set up team pulse for their organization in two steps: Settings and Configuration. Once team pulse is launched, employees receive a set of questions every week.
Settings
Navigate to Settings > Team Pulse > Settings.
- Pulse Period: You can launch Team Pulse for your organization by setting the Start Date and End Date. Set the End Date to stop sending Pulse questions to the employees. By default, Team Pulse never ends.
- Submission and Review Period: Set employee’s submission period and manager’s review period by setting the Start Day & Time and Due Day & Time.
- Award Points: You can award points to the employees’ for every submission, if the Rewards module is enabled for your organization. Learn more in Introduction to Rewards.
- Manager Permissions: Allow managers to add questions for their direct reports, secondary team, or entire team. You can allow department or BU admins to add questions for their respective departments or BUs. Set the maximum number of questions that they can add.
Note: To minimize the time commitment for employees, it is advisable to limit the number of questions to eight per week. This should include questions from both the admin and the manager.
Configuration
Navigate to Team Pulse.
- Add questions: There are two question pools. The questions are sent to the employees based on the maximum limit set for each pool.
- Team questions: Employees’ responses are visible to both the admin and manager.

Add the questions from Engagedly’s question library or custom create them as per your organization’s requirement. Learn more in Add questions to team pulse.
