What you need to know:

Survey Questions

Our Onboarding Survey comprises 20 questions delivered over four weeks (5 questions per week). Once the four weeks have passed, Officevibe's regular Pulse Survey begins.

Important information

1. When a member skips a question, it is considered answered and will not be asked again. 
2. Once all onboarding questions are answered, new members will begin receiving the Pulse survey regularly, as all other members of the organization. 
3. During the Onboarding Survey period, new team members do not receive; Good Vibes, Smart questions, or open-ended question activities.
4. A Custom Survey question, however, can be asked after the Onboarding Survey, the same way they can appear after a Pulse Survey. 
5. Survey settings defined by the Team Member (day, time, and delivery method) apply to the Onboarding Survey as well. 
6. The Survey frequency defined by the organization, however, does not apply to the Onboarding Survey, as this one is sent weekly by default.  
7. Text-based follow-up questions defaulted to appear as non-anonymous. 
8. Onboarding Survey questions always include follow-up questions.
9. Suppose a Team Member activates their account, and the hiring date exceeds the activation date by over one month. In that case, the Team Member then begins the usual Pulse Survey experience, and no Onboarding start date is set. 

Reporting

The Onboarding report can be filtered by Team and date. It displays the onboarding score and questions favourability across three-question categories: culture and connection, onboarding experience, and role and expectations. 

Feedback

View all feedback for a specific onboarding question by clicking on the speech bubble icon next to the question. 

It’s important to note that feedback collected during onboarding is not anonymous.
