Getting Started is Simple
Measuring belonging with Pulsely is easy
Step 1: Communicate the Why
You are going to get a lot more answers and much more reliable and actionable data if you prepare your organization to take the survey seriously. Here are a few key points to remember in your internal communication.
Tell people how you plan to use the data and how often the results will be shared with the company.
Tell people why Belonging is important. Some people will care more about the impact on the bottom line and others will care more that your organization is keen to maintain a culture where everyone can contribute and grow to their full potential.
Be grateful in advance.
Don’t be afraid to over-communicate.
Step 2: Set Up Demographics
Pulsely offers a few default questions, and can support you in adding new ones or tweaking the defaults so that you measure what matters most to your organization. For more information about our People Analytics, you can dive into that feature page.
Step 3: Add Emails
You might consider at first only adding a small test group, so that you can try the survey with them and get a feeling for the tool before sending the survey out to all of your employees.
Step 4: Customize Your Invite
Pulsely offers a short, sweet invitation to participate which you can use as is. You can also edit this message to include any key messages from your internal communication.
Step 5: Launch the Survey
With one click, the survey is enabled and your employees are invited to participate. If you’ve sent the survey to a small test group first, you can then enter the email addresses of the rest of your employees and they will receive the invitations automatically as soon as they are added to the system.
Betterup researchers surveyed 1,789 full-time U.S. employees across many industries and then conducted a series of experiments with more than 2,000 live participants to observe and measure the costs of exclusion.
Frequently asked questions about belonging
Why Measure Belonging?
According to research,* high Belonging is linked to a 56% increase in job performance, a 50% drop in turnover risk, and a 75% reduction in sick days. For a 10,000-person company, this would result in annual savings of more than $52M.
What is Belonging?
As a result of interactions at work, employees are able to make positive connections with their colleagues where they are left feeling valued and socially included and which enable them to authentically express themselves. Belonging means that you feel accepted and included by the people around you, especially the people you work with on a day-to-day basis.
