Surveys: Listen, Learn, and Lead Better

Every great company listens. Yet many startups move too fast to pause and ask how their people actually feel. Feedback becomes an afterthought, and small issues grow into big problems. That is why Surveys in Wave exist — to help you listen early, learn faster, and lead better.

What Are Surveys?

Surveys in Wave give you a simple way to gather input from your team. They help you understand morale, engagement, and company culture through short, focused questionnaires.

Each survey is designed to be quick but powerful, giving you clear data you can act on. Wave’s survey formats range from 1–10 scales and 5-star ratings to quick selections, helping you collect feedback that feels natural and fast.

Why Surveys Matter

Building a great company means more than hitting goals. It means creating a place where people feel heard, supported, and aligned.

Surveys help you:

• Measure engagement. Understand how your team feels about their work and leadership.
• Spot trends. Identify dips in morale or areas of improvement early.
• Encourage transparency. Show your team that their voice matters.
• Improve alignment. Connect team sentiment with company goals and priorities.

By turning feedback into insight, Surveys help you make smarter decisions about culture and performance.

How to Use Surveys in Wave

Inside Wave, Surveys are built directly into your company rhythm. You can send them to individuals, teams, or the entire organization — each with five focused questions that provide quick, meaningful data.

Wave automatically collects and organizes responses, displaying them visually so you can track patterns over time. You can also view results alongside other insights in Pulse, Reports, or Meetings, helping you connect how your team feels with how your company performs.
