Pulse Surveys Feedback

Pulse Surveys Pulse surveys are commonly used to give an indication of some aspect of the health of a company. Typically comprising an easy to complete set of questions, repeated frequently to a defined, regular schedule, pulse surveys can generate valuable employee related data for reporting and analysis.

Sage People Pulse Surveys are set up by your administrator and displayed in WX for completion by Team Members.

You can:

• Include up to 10 open or closed questions. Responses can be constrained to selecting options from a defined list, or you can choose to enable text responses, limiting the permitted number of characters.

• Use help text to provide context for questions and assistance for respondents when completing a survey in WX.

• Send surveys to targeted audiences.

• Anonymize responses.

• Use fields from the Team Member and Employment Record objects as Survey Dimensions.

What You Need

© Sage 2018 7

What You Need Make sure that your org includes:

• Sage People HCM version 20.21 or later.

Setting Up Pulse Surveys

© Sage 2018 8

Setting Up Pulse Surveys A Pulse Survey comprises:

• A Survey definition, including:o Name and description.o Start and end dates.o Anonymity indicator.o Reuse details.

You can define a Survey with no re-use - the Survey runs once only. Typically, pulse surveys aredesigned to run multiple times to measure changing data over time. Reuse details schedule the repeatfrequency and duration of the Survey.

o Questions.Questions must reference a Scale in the Scales Library. If the Scales you want to use do not exist youmust create them before you can complete setting up the Survey questions.

• Survey Dimensions.

Dimensions are the data fields you want to record for Team Members responding to the survey, such asDepartment, Employment Status, Hire Date, and so on. A range of pre-configured Dimensions is supplied -you can add your own if necessary.

• An Internal Communication process to host the Survey.

Follow this sequence:

1. Create a Survey definition (see page 9).

2. Add questions (see page 12).

Questions use Scales from the Scales Library - make sure the library holds the Scales you want to use andadd any you new scales you need.

3. Add Dimensions (see page 14).

4. Set Configure page options (see page 19).

5. Set up WX to host and display the Survey (see page 20).

Setting Up WX to Display a Survey

© Sage 2018 20

Setting Up WX to Display a Survey Surveys are delivered to your Team Members through WX Internal Communications processes. You can use different Internal Communications for each survey, or reuse the same process, changing the linked Survey each time you want to run a different Survey.

Use WX Process start and end dates to control the visibility of the Survey - if the Process is not active, the Survey cannot be accessed.

Follow these steps:

1. Create an Internal Communication to host the Survey.

The Internal Communication defines the Tile and Detail View content to accompany the Survey. TeamMembers access the Survey using a link on the Detail View, so use text and images on the Tile and DetailView to introduce the Survey and give any necessary guidelines, for example:o Why you're running the Survey and what you want to get out of it.o How long Team Members will have to complete the Survey.o How frequently the Survey will be repeated.o Whether the Survey data will be anonymized.o What you plan to do with the data.

The Survey itself can then focus on the questions you want to ask.

Use the Advanced Options on the Internal Communication to define who is to receive the Survey (see page 21).

2. Select an existing WX Service or create a new one to host the Internal Communication Survey(s) (seepage 29).

3. In the WX Service create a new Internal Communications Process and link it to the Internal Communicationand to the Survey (see page 31).

For more information about creating Internal Communications, WX Services, and WX Processes, see the WXConfiguration Guide.

4. Use the options on the HCM Configure page to set up the batches controlling survey reuse, anonymizing,and completion updating (see page 19).

When a Survey is activated, if the WX Process is configured with Survey has Action checked, an Action is raised for each Team Member you want to complete it, and the Survey becomes accessible through the Internal Communication Process hosting it.

Lower numbered Services are displayed above higher numbered in the Navigation Bar, and to the left of higher numbered in the Service Bar.
