Ask questions with easy scales that need no explanation
-
Employees type their answers to open questions or dictate them on their smartphone
-
The platform translates your questionnaire into more than 40 languages - including for international nursing staff
A survey that shows what keeps people on board
Once a year, the in-depth employee survey with scientifically validated questions measures workplace climate, demands, resources, engagement and intention to stay. Short pulse surveys in between show whether your measures are reaching the wards.
-
Start with the validated engagement survey based on the JD-R model, developed with Freie Universität Berlin

Compare wards, facilities and professional groups
The heatmap shows every question by area, next to internal and external benchmarks. You see where a team is strong and where the strain is becoming too much.
-
Filter by ward, facility, professional group or any other attribute from your HR system
-
Small wards stay protected: results only appear once the minimum number of responses is reached
Employee representation & data protection
What your works council or employee representatives check
Whether you are a private, public or faith-based provider: employee representatives usually have a say in a digital survey. These three points usually decide how quickly you reach an agreement.
-
Anonymity the system enforces
Results only appear once a group reaches a minimum number of responses. Open-text answers have their own threshold.
-
Mask names in open-text answers
The platform can automatically mask names, email addresses and phone numbers in open-text answers.
-
Visibility by role
You decide centrally, through roles and permissions, who can see which results. You can limit ward managers' view to their own area.
From a people management perspective, Honestly helps us capture feedback systematically and put it to effective use. Leaders take ownership of the results, and employees feel that their feedback is taken seriously and translated into concrete development initiatives.

Frequently asked questions
What hospitals and care providers want to know before their first survey
-
How do we reach nursing staff who work shifts?
Through a QR code or link, for example on a poster in the ward office, or through a personal access code, for example printed on the payslip. They don't need a company email address or their own computer. Employees with their own inbox take part by email or through the Engage App. Participation by code is included from the Business package. You can find all options on our feedback channels page.
-
Can we analyze results by ward and professional group?
Yes. When employees take part with a personal access code or by email, their responses are linked to attributes from your HR system, such as ward, facility or professional group. The platform only shows results for groups that reach the minimum number of responses. With a publicly posted QR code, responses are not linked to attributes, because no personal reference is collected. To compare wards, use personal access codes.
-
Does Honestly cover the psychological risk assessment?
Honestly supports the psychological risk assessment required in Germany under Section 5 of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (ArbSchG). It is included as a separate survey type with validated questions and uses the same dashboards and initiatives as the employee survey. Learn more on our psychological risk assessment page.
-
What do our works council or employee representatives need?
Before the first digital survey, the organization and its employee representatives usually sign an agreement. The review typically focuses on the anonymity threshold, how open-text answers are handled and the data processing agreement. You can read how Honestly addresses these points on our security and data protection page.
-
How often should we run surveys?
A proven approach is one in-depth survey per year, with short pulse surveys of 5 to 20 questions in between. That way you see whether your measures are working, without burdening your staff with long questionnaires.
-
How much does Honestly cost?
The price depends on the number of employees and the package, and is billed annually. You can see what each package includes on our pricing page. Multilingual surveys and masking of personal data are included in Enterprise and available as an add-on in Business.
