What is employee survey software?

Employee survey software collects structured feedback from your team and turns it into something you can act on. The category splits by cadence: annual platforms run one long benchmarked instrument a year, while pulse tools ask a few questions weekly or monthly and read the trend. Flaree sits on the pulse side, with a short weekly check-in and response-rate analytics tracked week over week.

How do employees actually answer the survey?

As a conversation rather than a form. The assistant asks one question, waits for the reply, then moves to the next, and the whole thing takes about two minutes. People answer in their own words, so you get the reasoning behind a view instead of just a number. If someone is unsure what a question means, they can ask before answering, which removes one of the most common reasons surveys get abandoned halfway.

How often does the check-in run?

Weekly. A new check-in opens for everyone each week, so the questions stay current without anyone administering a send. Weekly is frequent enough to catch a change while you can still do something about it, and short enough that people keep answering. You control which questionnaire is live, so the focus can change without changing the rhythm.

Can I choose my own survey questions?

Yes. You build questionnaires yourself, name them, and keep as many as you like in a library with one active at a time. Swapping the live questionnaire takes a click. A questionnaire that has already collected answers is archived rather than deleted, so the responses stay with the questions that produced them.

What analytics does the survey module provide?

Response rate across a date range you choose, plus participation in plain terms: how many members are eligible, how many have answered, how many answers you hold and when the last one arrived. You can drill into replies per person and per question, or filter to one questionnaire to read everything it ever collected. Response rate is worth watching in its own right, because a team whose participation is sliding is signalling disengagement before the content of the answers shows it.

Is this a replacement for an annual engagement survey?

Not entirely, and it is more useful to be honest about that. A full annual instrument gives you depth, benchmarking against industry norms, and driver analysis, which a light weekly check-in does not. What the weekly survey does is close the eleven-month gap between annual rounds. Many teams run a light annual survey for depth and a weekly pulse for change detection, rather than choosing one.

Is the survey module included in the free plan?

No. Surveys are part of the Advance plan. The permanent Free Forever tier covers recognition, leaderboards, badges, points and activity reports for unlimited users, but not surveys. Every new account starts with 90 days of Advance free and no card required, so you can run the weekly check-in with your team for a quarter before deciding whether to keep it.

Employee Survey Software That Talks, Not Forms

Flaree's employee survey software asks your team one question at a time, in a short weekly conversation. People answer in their own words instead of ticking boxes, and they can ask what a question means before answering it. You write the questionnaire, activate it in a click, and watch response rates trend week over week. It sits alongside peer-to-peer recognition, so you can pair what people say with what they actually do.

How the Employee Survey Module Works

Build a questionnaire once and a fresh check-in opens for everyone each week. Instead of a form, each person gets a short conversation: the assistant asks one question, reads the reply, and moves on. A respondent who is unsure what a question means can simply ask, which is where most survey drop-off happens. It takes about two minutes, and a half-finished conversation picks up where it left off. Only the active questionnaire reaches employees, so you can keep others in the library and swap them without losing anything.

Pulse Survey Analytics You Can Actually Read

See the response rate for any date range you choose, alongside participation in plain terms: how many people are eligible, how many answered, how many answers you hold and when the last one landed. Response rate is itself an engagement signal, because a team that stops answering is telling you something before the answers do. Drill into replies per person and per question, filter to a single questionnaire to read everything it ever collected, and put it next to recognition activity from leaderboards.

Employee Engagement Survey Software Without the Fatigue

Most engagement survey platforms are built around a long annual instrument. The results land eight weeks late, completion sits around a third of the company, and by the time anyone acts the conditions that produced the score have changed. Running the same survey again next year is how programs quietly die.

Flaree takes the opposite approach. The check-in is short, weekly, and conversational, so answering costs someone about two minutes and the lag is days rather than months. You still choose exactly what to ask, but the default is a rhythm people can sustain.

A conversation, not a form

This is the part that changes completion rates. Rather than presenting a page of fields, the assistant asks one question, waits, reads the answer and moves to the next. People reply in their own words, so you get the reason behind a view instead of just a rating.

They can also ask what a question means before answering. That sounds small, and it removes one of the most common causes of abandoned surveys: a question the respondent is not sure how to interpret, so they guess or quit. A conversation interrupted halfway resumes where it stopped.

Two Sensors Instead of One

A survey tells you what people say. Recognition activity shows you what they do. Flaree gives you both in one platform, which matters because they fail in different ways: surveys lag and suffer from low completion, while behavioral data shows that something changed without explaining why. Run the weekly check-in when you need the reason, and let recognition participation carry the ongoing read between surveys. That is what stops teams from over-surveying to compensate for having a single blunt instrument.

What You Get

Questionnaires you build and reuse, with one active at a time and the rest kept in a library.
A fresh check-in every week, available to everyone in the organization.
Conversational answering, one question at a time, in the respondent's own words.
Response rate over any date range you choose.
Participation figures: eligible members, respondents, total answers and the most recent one.
Answers per person and per question, so a theme can be traced rather than guessed at.
Archiving instead of deletion, because a questionnaire that has collected answers should not take them with it.

Be clear about what this is not: Flaree is not a heavyweight survey suite. If you need benchmarked annual instruments with driver analysis and industry comparison data, a dedicated platform like Culture Amp or Qualtrics is the right tool. Flaree is for teams that want a light, continuous read that people actually complete, paired with the recognition layer that acts on it.

Which plan includes surveys

The survey module is part of the Advance plan. Every new account gets 90 days of Advance free with no card required, so you can run the weekly check-in with a real team for a full quarter before deciding anything. That is long enough to see past the launch novelty and find out whether people keep answering, which is the only question that matters with a survey program.

The permanent Free Forever tier does not include surveys. It covers recognition, leaderboards, badges, points and activity reports for unlimited users, so you can keep the recognition layer running for free and add surveys when you want the second sensor.
