Built by team leaders, for team leaders
PulseLoop was born from a simple frustration: running team pulse surveys shouldn't require a spreadsheet, three meetings, and a slide deck. We built the tool we wished we had.
Our story
We saw the problem first-hand
As engineering leaders, we ran team pulse surveys using spreadsheets, Google Forms, and Miro boards. The process was clunky, results were hard to track, and follow-through was almost impossible.
We couldn’t find a good alternative
Existing tools were either too generic (general survey platforms) or too rigid (locked to a single framework). We wanted something purpose-built for team health, with the flexibility to use different models and the simplicity to actually run regularly.
So we built PulseLoop
A focused tool that makes running anonymous pulse surveys effortless: pick a research-backed template, send a survey, get results with actionable insights. No spreadsheet wrangling, no slide decks. Just clear data and a history you can learn from.
Backed by research, not hunches
The case for regular team pulse surveys is one of the most replicated findings in organisational psychology.
“70% of the variance in team engagement is attributable to the manager.”
The engagement crisis
Only 21% of employees globally feel engaged at work — matching the lowest level since the COVID-19 lockdowns. That translates to $438 billion in lost productivity in 2024 alone, and $8.9 trillion annually to the global economy. The primary driver? Manager disengagement fell from 30% to 27% — the steepest single-year decline on record outside COVID.

“Psychological safety was the single strongest predictor of team effectiveness — more predictive than individual talent, seniority, or team composition.”
Frequency matters — but only with follow-through
Teams surveyed 3 or more times per year see 39% of employees “very engaged” vs 27% for annual surveys. But the research is clear: measurement without action can actually decrease trust. That's why PulseLoop includes built-in action items and trend tracking — not just scores.

The performance link
Gallup's meta-analysis of 2.7 million employees across 276 organisations found that top-quartile engaged teams are 23% more profitable, 18% more productive, and experience 18–43% lower turnover. These are among the most replicated findings in organisational psychology.

What we believe
These principles guide every feature we build and every decision we make.
Honesty first
Meaningful improvement starts with honest feedback. We build tools that make it safe to speak up. Anonymity isn’t a feature, it’s a foundation.
Signal over noise
Teams are drowning in meetings and surveys. We focus on surfacing the insights that actually matter: clear scores, real trends, and actionable next steps.
Built for busy leaders
Engineering managers and team leads already have full plates. PulseLoop runs pulse surveys in minutes, not hours, and automates everything it can.
Continuous improvement
A single pulse survey is a snapshot. Real value comes from tracking trends over time, seeing what’s getting better and what needs attention.
