Today, workplace communication is inundated with emails, chat messages, and app notifications. Cutting through the noise to deliver urgent or critical updates and get employee feedback can be a challenge. The HP Workforce Experience Platform’s (WXP) Custom Pulse feature is a game-changing way to ensure employees see important notifications and surveys at the right time.
There are two types of pulses you can send, which display as pop-ups on the bottom right of employees’ screens:
Pulse notifications display messages directly on employees’ screens using a system pop-up. Unlike traditional communication methods, such as email or collaboration apps, these pop-ups stand out, ensuring that employees see important updates immediately rather than miss them in overflowing inboxes or muted channels.
Timely and effective communication is the backbone of operational success. Whether it’s a software update, a change to security policies, or an adjustment to IT support processes, delays in communicating these changes can lead to confusion, frustration, or even downtime.
Pulse notifications minimize this by delivering important information directly to the right audience in a way that can’t be ignored. Additionally, pulses are automatically paused during focus periods, such as screen sharing or when the device is set to “Do Not Disturb,” ensuring that employees can stay focused without interruption.
There are countless scenarios where quickly sending messages to employees about changes or updates will impact their day-to-day experience. Here are just a few examples of how pulse notifications can help your employees:
These examples highlight the versatility of pulse notifications in addressing real-world challenges that impact employees’ productivity and experience.
Pulse surveys are a fast, simple way to gather real-time employee feedback. Quickly collect responses by leveraging our Sentiment Pulse template and/or creating a Custom Pulse. Visuals, like a bar graph showing the number of responses out of sent surveys, help you quickly assess the response rate.
For comment-type questions, built-in AI streamlines the review process by summarizing thousands of responses and highlighting trending topics. This allows you to turn feedback into better decisions that continuously improve the employee experience.
Custom Pulses stand apart from traditional communication methods with features designed for impact. They are:
