Global people platform for hourly work, Deputy, has launched Shift Pulse+, a major upgrade to its existing Shift Pulse feature. This enhancement is part of the comprehensive Deputy HR product suite, empowering businesses to hire, onboard, document manage, and engage with hourly workers more effectively.
Shift Pulse+ is the new premium version of the standard Shift Pulse feature integrated into Deputy’s HR suite, offering a more robust and configurable user experience. This upgrade provides enhanced engagement capabilities and deeper insights into employee sentiment and wellbeing.
Users can now customise Shift Pulse questions, moving beyond the default “How did you feel during your shift today?” to tailor questions specific to business needs. Customisable pulse ratings enable users to select their preferred emojis and labels for a more personalised reporting experience.
Role-specific and location-specific configurations ensure that Shift Pulse checks are targeted to the right employees and locations. There’s also flexibility in frequency settings allowing Shift Pulse checks to be triggered daily, fortnightly, monthly, or at the end of every shift.
Detailed reporting capabilities remain largely unchanged for HR subscribers, allowing access to historical data, comprehensive comments, and sentiment analysis over extended periods. Shift Pulse+ now resides under the Team Engagement section on the People tab, providing a quick overview of team sentiment and engagement metrics.
The mobile report will now include average Shift Pulse scores for the last seven or 30 days, reaction counts, and a breakdown of reactions in percentages. Deputy HR subscribers will have access to a 30-day data view, while free users will be limited to seven days.
Deputy chief product officer, Deep Banerji said, “At Deputy, we are dedicated to continuously improving our platform to meet the evolving needs of our customers. With Shift Pulse+, we provide workers with a simple, one-step way to share how they’re feeling after every shift so that managers can create a thriving workplace based on their team’s needs.
“This comes at a time when many industries are facing major staffing and retention challenges. Fostering happier, mentally healthier staff helps businesses to reduce their turnover rate, retain great staff, and run at their optimum.”
Shift Pulse+ is available to all Deputy customers, with advanced features accessible to those subscribed to Deputy HR. Existing customers will experience a seamless transition, with the new features enhancing current capabilities.
