HR & People Teams
Employee surveys that tell HR what to fix, not just how people feel.
Engagement pulses, onboarding check-ins, manager feedback, exit interviews: one place to ask and one place to read the answers. Validata groups what employees write into themes by team, so you know what needs fixing before people start handing in notice.

Overview
From onboarding week to the exit interview
Ask employees the right question at each stage, from the first week to the last day. Then read every answer next to the team, tenure, and manager it came from.
Measure engagement across every team
Check in on new hires early
Learn why people really leave
Cut results by team or tenure
Turn open comments into grouped themes
Workflow
Every employee survey, one place to read the answers.
Yearly engagement survey, quick pulse, or exit interview: build it from a template and send it by link or email. Results land in one workspace instead of another spreadsheet.
Engagement pulses
Rating scales for work, manager, and direction, plus one open comment box. Validata groups the comments into themes and shows which teams pull the score down.
Onboarding check-ins
Send a short check-in at week one and again at the end of probation. Split the answers by tenure to see which gaps closed and which new hires are still on their own.
Manager feedback
Give teams a structured way to say how they are managed. See who sets clear expectations and where support is missing before it shows up in attrition.
Exit interviews
Find out why people really leave. Ask about growth, workload, management, and pay, then let Validata group the answers so the same reasons stop surprising you.
AI analysis
Hundreds of open comments. One short list of what teams need.
Open comments are where the real answers hide. Validata groups them into themes, splits them by team, and backs each insight with the responses behind it.
1.1
Workload, tooling, recognition, communication: the same complaint often shows up in several different wordings. Validata groups them so you count it once and notice it early.
Use cases
The questions leadership asks HR, answered with employee data.
One template per moment: pulse, onboarding, manager feedback, retention, exit. Each one ends in the same analysis view, so every answer splits by team and tenure.
1.1
Run a short pulse survey between the yearly engagement rounds. Ask about energy, clarity, workload, and whether people would recommend working here.

Team alignment
Employee answers that HR, managers, and leadership read the same way.
Validata helps People teams replace anecdotes with evidence. Every finding links back to the comments it came from, so a manager and a director looking at the same team see the same thing.
For HR managers
Run engagement, onboarding, and exit surveys from one workspace and back every recommendation with what employees actually wrote.
For People operations
Standardize questions across teams and locations so every office answers the same survey and results split the same way.
For team leads and managers
Check in with your own team between company-wide surveys and fix small issues before they grow.
For founders and small companies
Run your first company-wide survey before you have a People team and learn what is wearing people down early.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What Validata does differently, and what that means for your team.
An employee engagement survey asks staff how connected they feel to their work, team, manager, and company direction, with rating scales and open comments. Validata gives you a template, collects the responses, and groups the comments into the themes behind each score.
Yes. Validata is free to start. Pick an engagement or onboarding template, adjust the questions, add your logo, and send the link to your team the same day.
Cover role clarity, workload, manager support, recognition, growth, and belief in the company direction, then add one open question at the end. Validata's AI can draft the wording and generate answer options.
Validata supports 30+ question and content types. A typical employee survey uses rating scales for engagement scores, an NPS-style question for recommendation, single or multiple choice for team and tenure, and long text for comments.
Run a short pulse each quarter and a fuller engagement survey once a year, plus onboarding and exit surveys as they happen. Validata can schedule a survey, pause it, and cap responses.
Leave out name, email, and contact fields, share the survey by an open link instead of personal invitations, and tell respondents which fields you collect.
Validata's AI groups open comments into themes and splits each theme by team, tenure, or any earlier answer. Each insight card shows the comments it was built from.
Ask for department, location, or tenure inside the survey. Validata can then split every score and theme by that answer, so you see which teams differ from the rest.
A basic tool hands you a spreadsheet of answers. Validata groups open comments into themes, splits them by team or tenure, and keeps the comments behind each insight card. You can show leadership why a finding holds.
