Employee Engagement

Listen to your team and build a positive culture with surveys, pulse checks, recognition, and feedback.

Overview

The Engagement module helps you understand and improve how your people feel about work. It brings together:

Surveys - structured questionnaires on any topic

Pulse Checks - quick, frequent mood check-ins to track sentiment over time

Recognition - celebrate good work publicly

Feedback - give and gather feedback between colleagues

Engagement Dashboard

Open Engagement > Dashboard (under People in the sidebar) to see how your team is feeling - an overall engagement score and response rate worked out from pulse check responses, the team's current mood, and how it has moved over time.

Some parts of the dashboard aren't filled in yet: the Recognition Given and Feedback Received tiles stay at 0, the survey and recognition cards stay empty, and the department, driver and survey completion charts have nothing to show. The department filter and the Export button in the Analytics section don't do anything yet either. For those figures, open the Recognition and Feedback pages.

Surveys

Creating a Survey

Go to Engagement > Surveys

Click Create Survey

Give it a title and description
Add your questions - each can be a rating (1-5), a text response, multiple choice or yes/no. Every question is required

Click Create Survey - it's saved as a draft

When it's ready, choose Send Survey from its row to make it active

You can also edit, duplicate or delete a survey from its row.

Answering and Reviewing Results

Surveys can be written and marked active, but they can't be completed in Mployr yet. Send Survey changes the survey's status to active - it doesn't notify anyone, and there's no screen where your people can answer it. View Results says results are coming soon.

In the meantime, use Pulse Checks for an ongoing read on how people are feeling, or build your questions as a form to collect and review answers.

Pulse Checks

Pulse checks are short, regular check-ins that track how your team is feeling over time.

Each person checks in from the Pulse Check card on My Profile - Happy, Neutral or Stressed, with an optional comment

Go to Engagement > Pulse Checks to see the last 7, 30 or 90 days - how many people feel each way, the response rate, mood trends week by week, and recent comments, shown without names

Use the trend over time to catch changes in sentiment early

Because pulse checks are quick and frequent, they give you an ongoing read on morale rather than a once-a-year snapshot.

Recognition

Recognition lets people celebrate each other's good work.

Go to Engagement > Recognition

Click Give Recognition, choose the people or groups you're recognising, pick a company value, and say what they did well

Recognition is shared so the whole team can see and celebrate wins - react with an emoji, or add a comment

Manage values sets the company values people choose from.

Regular recognition reinforces the behaviours you want to see and helps people feel valued.

Feedback

The feedback area lets colleagues exchange constructive feedback outside of formal performance reviews:

Request Feedback - ask a colleague for peer, manager, upward or 360 feedback on a subject, with a due date

Give Feedback - share feedback with someone directly, or respond to a request. Tick Send anonymously and the person receiving it won't see who it's from - people whose role lets them manage feedback still can

The Requests, Given and Received tabs keep track of it all

Use it for in-the-moment notes that help people grow. For structured review cycles, goals, and 360 feedback, see the Learning & Performance guide.

Tips

Keep surveys focused - shorter surveys get higher response rates
Encourage everyone to check in from My Profile - pulse results are only as good as the response rate
Comments on pulse checks are shown without names, so people can be candid
Act visibly on what you learn - people engage more when they see their input matters
Encourage regular recognition; little and often beats once a year
