Salpulse Features
Salpulse is designed to measure your culture and leverage it for organisational success. It forms a framework - a behavioural operating system - for running your business. The features of Salpulse, described below help you do this.
Culture Measurement Features
-
Measure Organisational CultureMeasure Culture List Item 1
Compare your actual or "lived" culture against your "desired" culture – a set of values and behaviours you’ve identified that serve your purpose and create the environment that supports your people to work together and make decisions aligned to your organisation’s goals.
-
Measure Organisational ValuesMeasure Values
Your values are the agreed upon principles that shape the WAY you do things. Using your people as sensors, Salpulse measures how relevant the values are perceived to be in advancing your purpose and how effectively they are being lived.
-
Measure Your WhyMeasure Purpose (or Mission)
Renowned author Simon Sinek says to “Start with Why” – we agree! When everyone in your organisation knows “WHY your organisation exists” – it provides you with a shared focus and creates a primary filter for making decisions. Measuring how well your "why" (purpose / mission) is known and followed gives you insight into whether this filter is being used effectively.
-
Measure Psychological SafetyMeasure Psychological Safety List Item 3
Measure the degree to which people within your organisation feel respected, safe to interact with others, take interpersonal risks and share their opinions.

Measure Organisational TrustMeasure Organisational Trust List Item 4
