Google Forms get ignored. WhatsApp polls get lost. Annual surveys arrive after the damage is done. Employee Surveys inside Bynarize lets HR ask a quick poll, run a real multi-question survey, or keep a monthly engagement pulse - with response rates, department-safe results, and a clear picture leadership can trust.
Ask the question once. See who answered. Take a clean picture into the room - without another Google Form chase.
Publish a poll or survey without another tool
Answers land where leave and payslips already live
Response rate, not a hope and a spreadsheet
Anonymous when needed; small teams stay protected
Same feature. Three reasons it comes up on a sales call.
You already know the Friday scramble: build a form, chase people on WhatsApp, paste counts into Excel, then explain the numbers to leadership with half the company missing. Surveys & Polls puts create, publish, remind and results in the same product people already open. Start with one question when you only need a pulse check. Move to templates for engagement, onboarding, exit, training or events when you need a deeper read. You get invited vs responded, charts per question, and an export when the board pack needs it.
Leadership does not need another login or a psychology lecture. They need to know: did people answer, what did they say, and is the score moving month to month? On Enterprise, a monthly pulse can run on its own and land an engagement score with clear dimensions - manager support, work-life balance, growth, recognition - plus a trend line and a department view that hides groups too small to protect privacy. That is a boardroom conversation you can still do something about.
Managers live in the middle: they hear complaints late, and they do not want a tool that ranks their people by honesty. Surveys keep the human conversation with the manager, and the aggregate picture with HR. When a survey is anonymous, names stay off the results. When it is identified, leadership still gets the patterns - not a hit list. Your job stays leading the team; the product does not turn you into a surveillance desk.
Most companies already know they should ask employees more often. What they lack is a place to ask that people will finish - with results leadership will trust, and privacy people will believe.
Google Forms + Excel chase list
Links get lost, response rate is a mystery, and nobody owns the follow-up
Publish inside HRMS, see invited vs responded, remind once, export clean aggregates
One annual engagement survey
By the time results land, the unhappy people have already left or checked out
Polls when you need speed; full surveys when you need depth; monthly pulse when you need a trend
WhatsApp polls after the all-hands
Answers are messy, not private, and impossible to show the MD next week
A proper poll with audience, deadline, response rate and a chart you can screenshot
A third-party engagement suite bolted on
Another login, another invoice, and the employee list is always slightly wrong
Surveys use the live directory - same tenant as leave, payroll and announcements
“Anonymous” surveys that somehow still feel watched
Trust collapses; answers become polite; leadership gets fiction
Anonymous mode that never shows a name on results; small teams suppressed on breakdowns
Mood tools and survey tools mashed together
Everything becomes a long form; the weekly heartbeat never forms
Surveys dig into topics. Mood Pulse asks how people feel this week. Clear split.
Results dumped as a raw spreadsheet
Leadership cannot read it; HR spends a weekend making charts
Question-wise charts, department comparison, engagement score and trend - ready for the room
Starter plan with a locked survey teaser
Buyers feel baited; teams never build the habit
Starter polls are real. Professional surveys are real. Enterprise intelligence is real.
Each one is a real Monday-morning problem, closed by how Employee Surveys works.
“We’ll put a Google Form out” - then half the company never opens the link, and nobody owns the follow-up.
Publish inside HRMS. People see Active surveys next to leave and payslips. Response rate is visible from day one.
You needed a one-question pulse after the town hall, and the only tools you have are a twenty-question annual survey or a WhatsApp mess.
Starter polls: one question, clear choices or a scale, audience by team or location, results with a simple chart.
Engagement, onboarding and exit feedback all live in different forms - and none of them look the same twice.
Ready templates you clone into a draft: engagement, onboarding, exit, training, event feedback - then edit and publish.
People will not be honest if they think their name sits next to a tough answer.
Anonymous mode when trust matters. Results never show who said what. Small department slices stay hidden.
Leadership asks “how are we doing?” and HR brings corridor stories instead of numbers.
Question-wise charts, completion rate, department comparison, and Excel export of the aggregates.
The annual survey lands once a year - by then the people who were unhappy have already updated LinkedIn.
On Enterprise, a monthly pulse can open and close on a schedule, with an engagement score and trend across runs.
Reminders turn into five nagging emails that train people to mute HR.
A reminder policy you control - initial, after a few days, final before close - without spamming every day.
You bought a separate “engagement suite” that needs another login and never talks to your employee list.
Audience comes from the live HRMS directory - all employees, department, location, designation, band, manager team or named people.
Mood Pulse and “surveys” get mashed into one confusing module, so neither job gets done well.
Surveys ask topics. Mood Pulse asks how people feel this week. Two jobs, two clear pages - use both when you need both.
Starter buyers get a locked “coming soon” survey tile that feels like bait.
Starter gets real polls. Professional gets full surveys. Enterprise adds engagement intelligence. Honest by plan.
If a competitor needs a second engagement product just to ask “how was the event?”, you are buying tool sprawl - not a clearer conversation with your people.
Quick polls when you need speed. Full surveys when you need depth. Recurring pulse and engagement score when leadership wants a trend. One engagement home, not a tool pile.
My Surveys sits next to leave, payslips and announcements. No second password. No “did you get the email with the link?”
Engagement, onboarding, exit, training, event feedback - clone, tweak, publish. You stop reinventing the same questions every quarter.
Anonymous when you choose it. Department slices under a safe minimum stay suppressed. Leadership gets insight without outing anyone.
Response rate, question charts, department comparison, engagement score and month trend - plain language, not a black-box “risk” label.
Mood is the weekly heartbeat. Surveys dig into topics. Communications announce. Milestones celebrate. Each job stays clean so buyers are not confused on the call.
A story you can explain on a pricing call - honest capability at each tier, no locked empty tile pretending to ship.
Quick polls when you need a clear answer fast.
Real surveys, templates, anonymous answers and export.
Recurring pulse, engagement score and trends leadership can use.
A poll after the town hall is not the same job as a quarterly engagement survey. The product respects that - instead of forcing every ask into one oversized form.
Anonymous when you need it. Small teams stay hidden on breakdowns. That is how you get real answers instead of polite fiction.
No CSV of emails that went stale last month. Department, location, band, manager team - the same directory Core HR already trusts.
One survey is a snapshot. Recurring pulse plus engagement score answers the only leadership question that matters: are we getting better or worse?
Communicate with Communications. Celebrate with Milestones. Feel with Mood Pulse. Ask with Surveys. Four Monday-morning jobs, not one overloaded module.
Surveys live in the HRMS you already buy. One login, one invoice conversation, one place employees already open.
Book a short walkthrough: publish a one-question poll, open a template survey, show anonymous results, then (on Enterprise) open the engagement score and trend. Those four screens usually settle it for HR, managers and leadership.
