Honest feedback starts with anonymity
Karma sends anonymous pulse surveys directly in Slack — rating scales for satisfaction scoring, open-ended questions for constructive feedback, and response tracking in your dashboard. Your team tells you what they actually think, because they know nobody can trace it back to them.

Anonymous Employee Feedback & Pulse Surveys for Slack
Most employee feedback is filtered. People soften what they say, skip the hard parts, or don't respond at all. Anonymous surveys change that — and Karma makes them frictionless by putting the whole thing inside Slack, where your team already spends their day.
Build your survey, choose your recipients, send when you're ready
Karma's feedback surveys can be sent automatically or manually, whenever your team needs a check-in. Compose your questions (rating scales, open-ended, or both), select recipients from your Slack workspace, and send.
- Rating scale questions for eNPS, satisfaction scoring, and any metric you want to track over time
- Open-ended short text questions for qualitative feedback — any prompt that gets people to share what they actually think
- Targeted recipients — send to all users, administrators, owners, or any custom selection of team members in your Slack workspace
Responses come in anonymously — every answer exactly as your team wrote it
As team members respond in Slack, answers appear in your Karma results dashboard. Rating scale responses show as score distributions with averages. Open-ended responses are listed individually — every anonymous answer in full, visible to admins only. No grouping, no interpretation layer between you and what your team actually said.
- Rating scale results shown as response distribution — instantly readable without any manual calculation
- Open-ended responses listed individually — read each anonymous answer in full, exactly as the person wrote it
- Response count per question — see how many people answered each question so you know how representative the data is
- Reset or delete answers per question — run the same survey again after changes and compare fresh responses against the previous baseline

- Why Anonymous Peer Feedback Is Underrated
Nobody wants to be the person who tells the team lead their idea isn’t working. Nobody wants to flag that a process is broken when the person who built it is sitting across the table. And nobody — absolutely nobody — wants to give honest feedback to someone who signs off on their promotion.

Frequently asked questions
What is anonymous employee feedback?
Anonymous employee feedback lets team members share honest opinions, concerns, or suggestions without revealing their identity. It surfaces issues that employees wouldn't raise openly — concerns about management, team dynamics, or company direction. Karma delivers anonymous feedback surveys directly in Slack, so employees respond in the tool they already use without leaving their workflow.
What is a pulse survey?
A pulse survey is a short employee survey — typically 2–5 questions — designed to measure team sentiment between annual reviews. Karma's pulse surveys are sent manually whenever you're ready, delivered directly in Slack, and include rating scales and open-ended questions. Results are visible in your Karma dashboard as soon as responses come in.
What is eNPS?
eNPS (Employee Net Promoter Score) measures how likely employees are to recommend their company as a place to work, typically on a 1–5 scale. It's one of the most widely used employee engagement metrics because it's simple, comparable over time, and honest — especially when collected anonymously. Karma includes an eNPS-style rating scale question as a standard feedback option alongside open-ended questions.
Are Karma's feedback surveys really anonymous?
Yes — all feedback collected through Karma's survey feature is fully anonymous. Responses are visible to admins only, and individual answers cannot be traced back to specific team members. This is stated clearly to respondents in the survey itself, which is why response rates are significantly higher than non-anonymous feedback channels.
What kinds of questions can you ask in Karma's feedback survey?
Karma supports two question types: rating scales (1–5 or 1-10 numerical range, ideal for eNPS and satisfaction scoring) and short text (open-ended questions for qualitative feedback like "What do you love most about the job?"). You can combine both types in a single survey and send to all users, specific roles, or a custom selection of team members.
How often should you run pulse surveys?
Most teams send pulse surveys monthly or quarterly — frequent enough to catch sentiment shifts early, but not so often that employees get survey fatigue. Karma's feedback feature is manual rather than scheduled: you send surveys whenever you're ready, giving admins full control over timing without committing to a fixed cadence.
