Scientifically validated, not built from scratch

You start with a questionnaire based on the JD-R model, developed and validated with Freie Universität Berlin. It measures workplace climate, resources, demands, engagement and intention to stay with tested questions.

  • Start with the engagement survey for the big picture and add short pulse surveys in between

  • Put your scores in context with external benchmarks

  • Add your own questions on topics specific to your company

"Create new survey" dialog with starting point, survey name and anonymity threshold

The platform does the analysis

As soon as there are enough responses, results are ready for every area. The impact analysis shows which topics are most closely linked to engagement in your company, and therefore where to start.

  • Let the AI sort open-text answers by topic and sentiment

  • Create an initiative with owners and deadlines directly from an action field

  • Give managers access to their team's results

Strengths and action fields with impact rating and direct initiative start

You're not doing this alone

A dedicated contact person gets to know your company and your goals and guides you through the key steps.

  • Planning and questions

    Together you decide what you want to find out, choose the right questions and set up a timeline with fixed dates.

  • Communication and stakeholders

    You get tips on how to involve senior management, managers and the works council early and how to encourage employees to take part.

  • Analysis and presentation

    You learn how to present results convincingly and get managers to act on them.

Easy to answer, in the office and on the shop floor

Employees answer on a computer, on their smartphone or in the Engage App. People without a company email address take part via QR code or a personal participation code.

  • Ask questions with stars, smileys or number scales that need no explanation

  • Let employees type open-text answers or dictate them on their smartphone

  • Results only appear once a group reaches a minimum number of responses

Survey question with a five-star rating on workplace satisfaction
Honestly provides ready-made questionnaires that are scientifically grounded. This means we don't have to develop a new questionnaire for many topics.

Frequently asked questions

What mid-sized companies want to know before their first survey

  • Which package is right for a mid-sized company?

    That depends on your size and your requirements. Many mid-sized companies start with the Business package. It includes initiatives, advanced analytics such as the heatmap and impact analysis, AI analysis of open-text answers by topic and sentiment, participation via code and the connection to your HR system. You can add multilingual surveys, single sign-on or the anonymous chat as needed. For larger companies, or if you need several of these features, for example because you survey sites in different languages, the Enterprise package is often the better choice. The price depends on the number of employees. You can find all details on our pricing page.

  • How much work is it for our HR team?

    The platform does most of it: the questionnaire is ready, invitations and reminders go out automatically, and the dashboards are available as soon as responses come in. What stays with you is deciding what you want to find out, communicating within the company and working on the results. Your dedicated contact person helps you with that.

  • How quickly can we get started?

    That mainly depends on your internal alignment, for example with senior management and the works council. Technology rarely slows things down: at HÄVG, the collaboration began in August 2025 and the first pulse survey ran in September. Read the full story in the case study.

  • 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 Honestly addresses these points is described on our security and data protection page.

  • How often should we survey?

    A proven approach is an in-depth survey once a year for the big picture. If you want to see in between whether your actions are working, add short pulse surveys. Find out more about the annual employee survey.
