It’s time to add your employee contact info. There are two options for adding data depending on whether your employees have work email addresses or not.

Approximately two weeks prior to the survey start date, it’s important to ensure your employees know all about the survey, when to expect it, and why they should participate. It’s easy with our posters and messaging templates.
