The annual survey at the core, short pulses in between
Once a year, the in-depth employee survey with scientifically validated questions shows the big picture across all subsidiaries and locations. Short pulse surveys in between show whether your actions are having an effect.
-
Start with the engagement survey based on the JD-R model, developed with Freie Universität Berlin

Put your scores in context with internal and external benchmarks

Add onboarding, exit and leadership surveys on the same platform
Your organization in the system, without manual upkeep
Employees, divisions and reporting lines come from your HR system and stay up to date. Roles that you assign by rules control who sees which results.
-
Import master data via connectors for SAP, Workday and many other systems, synced up to twice a day, or alternatively via REST API or SFTP
-
Assign roles by job title, department or job level and limit managers' view to their own area
-
Check in the employee view what a role actually gets to see
Results down to every team
Every manager sees the results for their area as soon as there are enough responses to protect anonymity. HR and senior management compare the entire organization.
-
Compare subsidiaries, locations and departments in the heatmap
-
Export dashboards as PowerPoint, PDF or Excel, or pull the data into your BI tool via the export API
-
Record actions as initiatives with owners and deadlines
More than 40 languages, on both sides
Employees answer in their language, analysts work in theirs, including dashboards and chart titles.
-
The platform translates the questionnaire automatically, and you can adjust every translation in the editor

The AI topic analysis groups answers on the same topic across languages

Design surveys and emails with your logo and your colors
IT, data protection & works council
What gets reviewed - and what you find at Honestly
The points that IT security, data protection and works councils almost always review at large organizations.
-
ISO 27001 certified
Both the platform and the data centers are certified. External penetration tests take place regularly.
-
Hosted in Germany
The platform is hosted in Germany, data processing and backups take place in Europe.
-
Data processing agreement in place
You receive the data processing agreement when your contract starts. Your admins can view and approve subprocessors in the account.
-
Single sign-on
Sign in via SAML 2.0 or Azure AD. Your sign-in policies, including multi-factor authentication, also apply in Honestly.
-
Anonymity enforced by the system
Results only appear once a minimum number of responses is reached, even for admins. The platform can automatically mask names in open-text answers.
-
Service levels and device management
Enterprise contracts include individually agreed service levels. You distribute the Engage App via your mobile device management.
Without a prior survey, we would have introduced something into the company that had no resonance among our workforce. With 1,800 employees, that's a huge cost factor. But thanks to the survey with Honestly, we knew which investments would pay off.

Frequently asked questions
What large organizations want to know before deciding
-
Which package is right for large organizations?
Usually the Enterprise package. With many subsidiaries, languages and roles, you need what it includes: single sign-on, multilingual surveys and dashboards, the anonymous chat and the export API. Which feature is in which package, and what you can add individually, is on our pricing page.
-
How does our employee data get into the system - and stay up to date?
Via the connector for SAP, Workday and many other systems, synced up to twice a day. Where no connector fits, you can use the REST API with self-managed keys or an automated SFTP import with plausibility checks. You decide which employees are transferred. The options are described in detail on the integrations page.
-
Who sees which results?
Five roles control this: Participant, Report Viewer, Analyst, Manager and Admin. You manage them centrally, assign them by rules based on job title, department and job level, and limit a manager's view to their own area. In the employee view, you can check what a role actually sees. Independently of this, the platform only shows results once the anonymity threshold is reached, even to administrators.
-
Can our employees sign in with their company credentials?
Yes, via single sign-on with SAML 2.0 or Azure AD. Authentication runs entirely through your identity provider, so your own sign-in policies, including multi-factor authentication, also apply in Honestly. Users see their active sessions in the session overview and can end them there themselves.
-
Where is our data stored, and what do we get for our review?
The platform and the data centers are ISO 27001 certified, hosting is in Germany, and processing and backups stay in Europe. You receive the data processing agreement when your contract starts. Your admins can see which subprocessors are used in the account and approve them there. In addition, there are regular external penetration tests and a documented recovery and contingency plan in line with Art. 32 GDPR. Find out more about security and data protection.
-
What does our works council need?
Before the first digital survey, the employer and works council usually conclude a works agreement. The review focuses mainly on the anonymity threshold, the handling of open-text answers and the data processing agreement.
-
How do we reach employees without a company email address?
Via QR codes and personal participation codes, for example on a notice at the site, as an insert with the payslip or as a link on the intranet. There is also the Engage App, which you distribute via your mobile device management, as well as Microsoft Teams and Slack. All channels lead to the same survey and the same dashboards. You can find details on the feedback channels page.
-
Which service levels apply?
Enterprise contracts include individually agreed service level agreements. We define the exact scope with you. What the package includes is on our pricing page.
