The Pulse tab within the Check-In application is designed to collect an employee sentiment score in an effort to humanize the Check-In process and build better employee-manager relationships. Pulse is an optional tab that organizations can elect to include in the Check-In form. This allows managers to see how their direct reports are feeling in addition to how they are performing as they monitor trends and access reports for team analysis.

The Pulse tab allows employees to select one of the sentiment options, ranging from “Not Okay” to “Great.” In addition, they have an optional comment section to include any details or context as to why they selected the particular sentiment.

Pulse also allows managers to track employee sentiment analysis trends over the last 3 Check-Ins. This Pulse report is shown above the manager feedback box and includes: the Pulse rating from the current Check-In, a trend report, and an average of the last 3 Pulse scores. The Pulse feature also provides managers with valuable team insights on the Check-In Reporting Dashboard. Check out this article for more information about the dashboard.

Admin users can turn on the Pulse feature in their account settings. This setting can be found by going to Settings > Account Settings > Preferences. From there, navigate to the Check-In section and toggle on “Enable Check-In Sentiment Score.”
