How to Find a Platform That Actually Improves Employee Engagement
Most platforms measure engagement through long and repetitive surveys, delivered once or
twice a year. By the time results arrive, the insights are already outdated — leaving leaders with
data that reflects the past with no clear next steps.
Without a consistent pulse, businesses can’t react quickly enough.
HR teams struggle to spot issues before they turn into resignations.
Managers can’t see which individuals are at risk of disengagement until it’s too late.
Executives lack visibility into the cultural themes that shape retention and performance.

Kickoff & Setup
Account Creation & Team Setup
Employee Import & Launch Prep
First Survey & Monitoring
Ongoing Support & Training
We start with a short kickoff call and send you a simple setup checklist + employee data template. You’ll confirm key details like survey preferences, visibility, and recognition settings.
Our team configures your company account, builds teams, and sets admin roles. You get a chance to review and approve everything before launch.
When employees are added to the portal, the welcome email is sent automatically on the same day, there’s no option to delay. By default, this welcome email is replaced with a consent notice email (required in the US). If your company does not want this email sent, we can manually disable it in the Control Panel upon request.
Uploading employees later in the week (Thursday or Friday) keeps the welcome email and first survey closer together—avoiding confusion and extra reminders.
We monitor the rollout of your first weekly pulse check to make sure every employee gets the survey. Afterward, we walk you through how to read results and share best practices for boosting participation. We also track the delivery of the welcome email, as it serves as an indicator of success and sets later expectations.
From admin training to manager guides and employee FAQs, we equip your team with everything they need. Larger changes (like reorganizations) are supported by us, while smaller teams can easily self-manage.
FAQs About HeartCount and Other Employee Experience Management Tools
Why choose HeartCount?
HeartCount is different from other employee survey tools because it delivers weekly pulse check surveys with real-time insights, not reports that look back months. With AI-powered predictive risk detection, leaders can spot early signs of churn, burnout, or disengagement before they affect retention and performance. Unlike heavy HR suites, HeartCount is lightweight, easy to roll out, and cost-efficient, making it ideal for fast-moving teams with tight budgets. Plus, with new questions every week, employees stay engaged without survey fatigue—giving HR and managers a clear, continuous view of team sentiment.
How is HeartCount different from other employee experience management tools?
Most tools either feel too complex (full HR suites) or too limited (basic surveys without insights). HeartCount stands out with weekly pulse check surveys, AI-powered predictive risk detection, and real-time insights, all included in its free plan. It’s lightweight, simple to roll out, and cost-efficient for companies that don’t want a bulky HRIS.
How does HeartCount compare to Lattice?
Lattice surveys are rigid and backward-looking, with predictive features locked behind add-ons. HeartCount offers weekly pulse checks and churn risk insights upfront, helping leaders act before issues escalate.
What’s the difference between HeartCount and 15Five?
15Five’s best engagement tools require pricey upgrades and lack strong predictive analytics. HeartCount gives real-time sentiment and AI churn prediction at all levels, without expensive upsells.
How is HeartCount better than Leapsome for pulse surveys?
Leapsome is powerful but complex, better suited for full HRIS needs. HeartCount is lightweight, easy to roll out, and built for fast-moving teams, with AI-driven weekly pulse checks at a lower cost.
Is HeartCount a better option than Officevibe (Workleap)?
Yes. Officevibe is simple but limited to basic analytics and recognition. HeartCount combines pulse surveys with AI churn predictors and deep team-level insights, so leaders can act early and decisively.
