What is a pulse survey?
A pulse survey is a short, recurring, anonymous check-in that tells you how your people are doing between formal reviews. It takes a minute to answer, runs on a regular cadence, and gives you a moving read on morale instead of a single snapshot once a year.
FieldCon sends these by text and email, so they reach your deskless field employees right on their phone. No app to install. No login to remember.
Why send surveys between reviews at all?
A review is a moment in time. It tells you where someone landed on the day it happened. But the things that actually drive people out the door (a tech who is quietly frustrated, a crew that is struggling under a bad assignment) build up in the weeks and months in between.
If the only time you check in is at review time, you find out too late. The person has already decided to leave. Pulse surveys fill that gap, so you keep a read on how people are doing all year, not just on review day.
How does FieldCon reach field employees?
The reason most engagement tools fail on a field team is simple. They assume everyone sits at a desk with an email open all day. Your people are on a roof, in a truck, or under a sink.
FieldCon sends pulse surveys by text and email, so they land where your people already are: their phone. Because answers are anonymous, people tell you the truth instead of the version they think you want to hear.
- Sent by text and email, not buried in an app nobody opened
- No app to install, no login to remember
- Anonymous, so people are honest
- Short and recurring, so they take a minute and build a trend over time
What do you actually learn?
You hear about problems while they are still small. A frustrated tech. A crew that is struggling. A shift in morale after a tough stretch of jobs.
These are the signals that, left unheard, turn into turnover. Catching them early is the whole point. It gives you the chance to step in and have the conversation before someone has already made up their mind.
The bottom line
Reviews tell you where someone landed. Pulse surveys tell you how they are doing right now. FieldCon runs them as short, anonymous check-ins by text and email, so you hear about the frustrated tech or the struggling crew before it costs you a good person.
