Checking in on your employees is important, especially when the teams are big and spread across various projects. Weekly or scheduled check-ins may not be possible or get postponed. This gets tougher with a remote or work from home (WFH) workforce. We took all of this consideration and feedback from our clients and came up with a solution for it. We’ve added a new module ‘Ask’ to the Pulse app. You can schedule questions for all of your employees with it. You can also add follow-up questions for any upcoming day of the week. You do not have to log in to the web application to use ‘Ask, you can do it via the app.
