Our 2-min survey is based on science, it's easy to run and give you exactly what you need; Overview, benchmarks, trends, analysis and actions.
Employee surveys fail when people don't feel safe being honest. Without true anonymity, employees tell you what you want to hear instead of what you need to know. The result? Useless data that hides real problems until they explode.
Zoios lets you set a minimum number of responses required before showing team results, preventing identification based on when someone answered the survey. Even if a team meets the anonymity threshold of people, results stay hidden until enough employees have actually responded. This dual protection ensures that early responders can't be identified by timing, maintaining trust in the anonymity system and encouraging honest feedback from everyone.
Zoios lets you set your organization's anonymity threshold to protect employee privacy while maximizing actionable insights. Smaller thresholds (3-4 people) mean more teams can access their pulse survey data and take action on engagement issues. Larger thresholds (5-7+ people) provide stronger anonymity but fewer small teams see results. Comments are extra protected and only filtered by organizational structure, ensuring honest feedback without risk of identification.
Zoios notifies employees scoring in the problematic strain range and gives them the option to anonymously alert their designated contact person that they'd like support. The employee maintains full control with a consent system, they choose whether to activate the notification and their identity is never revealed unless they consent. This creates a safe channel for struggling employees to ask for help at a critical moment, enabling proactive conversations that prevent burnout while respecting privacy.
Zoios lets HR and managers reply directly to anonymous survey comments, creating two-way dialogue without revealing employee identity. Employees receive your reply via email and can respond back anonymously, enabling ongoing conversation while maintaining privacy. This capability shows employees their feedback is valued and allows you to ask clarifying questions or acknowledge concerns, significantly improving response rates and the quality of qualitative feedback over time.
Zoios restricts comment segmentation to organizational structure only, blocking any demographic filtering that could reveal employee identity. You can filter comments by department or team, but never by gender, age, tenure, or other attributes that could narrow down the author. This technical safeguard prevents the scenario where filtering a team's comments by demographics reveals who wrote specific feedback, maintaining true anonymity for qualitative feedback.
Zoios provides role-based access control with admin, full access, manager, and employee roles, ensuring everyone sees appropriate engagement data based on their position. Admins (typically HR) get full platform access, executives get company-wide viewing rights, and managers see only their team's results respecting anonymity. This tiered system maintains data security and privacy while distributing engagement insights to the leaders who can act on them, balancing transparency with appropriate confidentiality.
Zoios prevents combining multiple filters that would create segments too small to maintain anonymity, protecting employee privacy across all engagement data. The platform intelligently blocks filter combinations that would reduce a segment below your anonymity threshold, even if each individual filter would be acceptable. This proactive protection means employees can trust that no clever filtering tricks could identify their responses, encouraging more honest pulse survey participation.
Employee surveys are worthless if people don't feel safe being honest. When employees worry their feedback could be traced back to them, they tell you what you want to hear instead of what you need to know. The result? Useless data that hides real problems until they explode into turnover or burnout.
True anonymity isn't just a nice feature, it's the foundation of reliable engagement measurement. But anonymity is also more complex than most platforms acknowledge. Set the threshold too high and small teams never see their results. Too low and employees don't trust the system. Cross-filter demographics and you accidentally reveal who wrote what.
Zoios takes anonymity seriously with multiple layers of protection. Choose the right anonymity threshold for your culture, from pragmatic (3+ people) to strong (5+ people). Block response timing identification with minimum answer requirements. Prevent demographic cross-filtering that could narrow down comment authors. Every protection is designed to earn employee trust while maximizing the teams that can actually act on their data.
The result? Higher response rates, more honest feedback, and engagement insights you can actually use. When employees trust the system is truly anonymous, they share the uncomfortable truths you need to hear. That's when pulse surveys stop being a compliance exercise and start driving real cultural improvement.
I think the advantage of concrete data is that we can follow the development over time, and that enables us to test our intuitions.
Plus, the data gives us something tangible and actionable to work with.
We can follow the trends and facilitate dialogues to make small or large changes in our everyday work-life - to ensure we accommodate what motivates people and develops them as consultants.
You can granulate the data and have more detail in terms of what is happening...
So when we have a feeling we can actually validate if it's something we need to tackle or not. That's very powerful.

Getting started with Zoios is easy and you can trial our pro plan for free. You can also continue to measure employee satisfaction for free on our starter plan.
Import all your employees from an Excel or CSV file. We'll help you do this free of charge within a day to avoid technical issues.
If you have an HR-IS system we can also set up an integration that automatically syncs employee information from your HR system to the Zoios platform.
Add any segmentation that you might want like gender, generation or level.
Make sure your managers are aware that you're introducing this system to get an overview of the organization and be more proactive on employee trends, not to monitor their individual performance.
Communicate it at an all-hands or town hall meeting. Let employees know you'll start measuring more actively and need their input. We have a presentation template you can use that covers anonymity practices, timing and what to expect.
To run your survey you decide what day you want it to be sent, and then Zoios manages all the sending and follow-ups with employees automatically.
If you use Slack then add that integration in just four clicks before the date of your survey.
The system automatically enforces anonymity, so results from any groups that are too small will not be visible.
The data is instantly available and converted into intuitive reports with benchmarks and deep analyses across the entire organization.
You then give your managers access to their departments and teams, and the platform will serve them detailed reports, root cause analyses and concrete actionable recommendations to improve their leadership and the eNPS, well-being, satisfaction and stress levels in their team.
