Is EHS an alternative to Friday Pulse?

Friday Pulse describes its approach in its measurement guide, plans and privacy FAQs and team guidance. You can also explore how EHS works.

When might EHS be a good fit?

EHS may suit an organisation that wants a consistent question as its starting point, with room for employees to explain their experience in their own words.

Each Cycle asks how people feel about working at the organisation. The resulting score should be read alongside participation, the spread of responses and the feedback behind it. Ask EHS helps authorised users explore that feedback. Focused Check-ins can investigate a particular topic between Cycles; their answers do not update the headline EHS score.

For example, an organisation might use its Cycle feedback to identify recurring concerns about workload, then run a focused Check-in to understand where priorities or support need attention. Leaders would still need to choose an action, assign responsibility and explain the response to employees. See the practical guide to using EHS for that listening rhythm.

When might Friday Pulse be a good fit?

Friday Pulse may suit an organisation that wants weekly or monthly measurement built into team discussions, supported by a recurring framework for exploring workplace culture. Its structured Culture Profile gives teams a set of areas to revisit over time.

What should employees know about written feedback?

The distinction around written feedback deserves attention. Named contributions can support open discussion and recognition. An anonymous route offers another way to raise an experience. Explain the actual settings to employees before asking them to contribute, whichever approach you choose.

EHS Cycle responses are anonymous by default, but employees can reveal their identity and a comment may contain recognisable details. Separate Check-ins have their own identity settings. Plan how you will handle and share feedback responsibly.

How should you compare the costs?

Ask each supplier for a quote covering your workforce and intended use. Check the measurement frequency, reporting access, support, contract terms and any additional charges. Include the time your own people will need to review findings and follow through. Current options are available on the EHS pricing page and Friday Pulse pricing page.

Can you compare scores when switching?

Keep your previous results as historical context and establish a new baseline. Scores from different methods should not be treated as interchangeable simply because both use a scale out of 100. The EHS Method explains the question, response options and meaning of the EHS index.

What should you look for in a demonstration?

The most useful demonstration will show the whole process: what an employee receives, what reviewers can see and how the findings inform a decision. Choose a listening rhythm that leaves time to review, act and communicate.
