One message. One tap. Real emotional data.
Long surveys? Dead.
Zoom retros? Skipped.
HR dashboards? Ignored.
If you want real-time visibility into your team’s well-being, you need to meet them where they already are — Slack.
That’s why PulseBoard embeds lightweight check-ins directly into Slack, with zero friction and maximum participation.
Let’s break down:
- What a Slack-based pulse check looks like
- Why it beats traditional engagement surveys
- How to interpret results and act on them fast
🧪 What Is a Pulse Check?
A pulse check is a quick, recurring question that helps teams share how they’re feeling — without needing a meeting or survey form.
It can be:
- ✅ A 1–5 mood scale
- ✅ A custom emoji range (e.g., 😄😐😩)
- ✅ A yes/no on focus, energy, or workload
- ✅ An optional comment box
PulseBoard sends this directly into Slack every week (or at your custom frequency).
🔔 What Happens in Slack?
Here’s how it looks in action:
- PulseBoard bot posts:
“How are you feeling this week?”
Options: 😄🙂😐😟😩 + optional comment
- Employee taps once
- Done. No login. No delay.
You can even respond privately to ask follow-up questions — or let PulseBoard’s AI analyze and flag patterns.
