The SurveyMonkey integration allows you to easily collect feedback from employees, create and manage surveys, distribute them via web links or email and collect responses directly from Atomicwork.
You can automate employee satisfaction surveys, use pre-built templates for standardized feedback collection, and retrieve responses for further processing. This streamlines feedback loops and enables data-driven decisions based on employee input.
Usecases
By connecting SurveyMonkey, your teams can build:
Employee feedback workflows: Automatically create and distribute employee satisfaction surveys as part of onboarding, offboarding, or periodic reviews.
Template-based surveys: Use pre-built SurveyMonkey templates to quickly create standardized surveys like NPS or CSAT.
Survey distribution: Send surveys via email or generate shareable web links.
Response collection and analysis: Retrieve survey responses in bulk for analysis or to trigger further workflows based on feedback.
Self-service survey requests: Allow employees or managers to request survey creation through Atom.
