Use cases

From statutory survey to management tool

Same questions, same threshold and same list of measures — used in eight different ways. Pick the situation that resembles yours and see how it is handled in practice.

Annual survey

The survey the law requires, done in an hour

One main survey a year covers the survey duty in § 3-1 c of the Working Environment Act and sets the baseline everything else is measured against. The questions are ready, the threshold is set and the report writes itself.

33 statements across eleven factors, four minutes to answerThe safety representative is notified two days before send-outOne reminder, and the round closes after seven daysRisk assessment per factor with legal basis, ready for the working environment committee (AMU)

The main survey in September gives results ahead of the budget and action-planning work in the autumn.
Pulse between surveys

See whether measures work — before next year

The pulse asks the three statements for each factor you have put measures on, and shows whether the curve turns while there is still time to adjust.

Questions are drawn from the factors with open measuresSame wording as the main survey, so the figures can be comparedA factor drops out once its measures are closed

The measure “always reply to incident reports” started in October. The pulses show it is working, but not enough yet.
Without an HR department

Managing director, 20 employees, no HR department

Simple view gives one page: what people are happy with, what pulls down, and three things to do now. Tuva shows what remains before you're up and running, and help is on every page.

The overview opens automatically for managing directors with fewer than 50 employeesEmployees are pasted in or uploaded as a CSV — no HR system neededThe wizard takes you from org. no. to first send-out in 20 minutes

People value the meaning in their work. What pulls down is speaking up and workload.
One team stands out

When one team has it harder than the rest

The heatmap shows team against factor. The segment profile compares one team with the rest and points to where the difference is greatest — without any individual being identifiable.

Groups below the threshold are shown as a dash, for administrators tooThe department manager sees only their own teamThree suggested measures per factor, ready to choose

Workshop and Projects each stand out on a different factor. Those are two different problems, and they need two different measures.
Reorganisation and change

Measure before and after a change

Add an extra pulse to the annual cycle four to six weeks after a reorganisation, a system change or a merger. Then you see whether people know what is expected of them, and whether support from managers holds up.

Add a pulse in any month with one clickChoose the affected factors: role clarity, conflicting demands, support from managerCompare with the baseline from before the change
Role clarity · before and afterbaseline vs pulse 6 weeks after

The drop is largest on the limits of responsibility. A short role map per team is often enough to put it right.
New manager

Give a new manager an honest starting point

The baseline from before the change of manager and the pulse afterwards show how the team experiences support, role clarity and speaking up. The figures apply to the team as a whole — never individuals, and never the manager as a person.

The team must have at least five responses before anything is shownThe manager gets their own leadership practice suggestions per factorAnonymous comments can be answered without knowing who wrote them
Support from manager · Projects9 responses

The same figures on the table for all parties

The safety representative sees the same figures and the same risk assessment as management, at the same time. Consultation with union representatives is documented before the first send-out, as § 9-2 requires for a recurring survey.

Industries

Same tool, different working days

The questions are the same everywhere, so the figures can be compared over time. What sets industries apart is which factors tend to weigh most, and how people are reached.
