Frequently asked questions
What is an employee engagement survey?
An employee engagement survey measures how committed, motivated and connected your employees feel at work. It identifies what's working and where to focus to improve retention, productivity and culture.
How long does it take to run a survey?
Most projects take 4–8 weeks from design to reporting, depending on the size and complexity of your organisation. Pulse surveys can be deployed in days.
Can surveys be done on mobile or WhatsApp?
Yes. All our surveys are mobile-friendly, and we offer a dedicated WhatsApp employee survey solution for reaching deskless and frontline workers with higher response rates.
Is the data confidential?
Absolutely. Confidentiality is a cornerstone of our approach. We follow strict data protection protocols aligned with South Africa's POPIA legislation.
Do you work with companies outside South Africa?
Yes. While we're based in Cape Town and most of our clients are South African, we support multi-country survey deployments — including multi-language surveys distributed globally.
What makes Pure Survey different from larger providers?
We're small enough to care and experienced enough to deliver. You'll work directly with senior team members who know your name, understand your organisation, and will always go the extra mile to make sure you get what you need. Many of our clients have been with us for over a decade — that kind of loyalty comes from genuine partnership, not just good technology.
