Employee polls, answered in one tap

You create a poll in seconds inside any channel: type a question, add answer options, choose whether responses are anonymous, allow multiple answers if you want, and set an end date. Employees vote in one tap on the phone they already carry, and results update in real time. 59% of highly engaged employees say being able to contribute ideas has a big impact on their motivation, and a poll is the fastest way to ask.

Tap into employees' opinions, observations, and preferences with quick, anonymous polls. Ask a question, get answers you can act on, from shift preferences to product feedback to team sentiment.

Paper and email leave the frontline unheard

Paper forms get lost and email surveys never reach deskless workers, so the people closest to your products and customers go unheard. Flip closes that gap by putting surveys and polls in the same app employees use every day.

No setup, no extra tool.

Polls take seconds to set up, with no other tool required. Type your question, configure the responses, and publish it in a channel. No links, no emails, no extra logins.

FAQs

What is an employee poll app?

An employee poll lets you ask staff a quick question and collect their answers, ideally where they already work. In Flip, Polls is a feature of the frontline employee experience platform: you add a poll to a post in any channel, employees vote in one tap on their phone, and results update in real time.

Are Flip polls anonymous?

They can be. When you create a poll you choose the response visibility: anonymous, visible to the author and admins, or visible to everyone. Anonymous polls encourage honest answers, which is why they are the default for sentiment questions.

How quickly can I create a poll?

In seconds. Add the Poll block to a post, type your question, add the options, and publish to a channel. There are no links to share and no separate tool to log in to, so a poll can be live in under a minute.

Can employees choose more than one answer?

Yes. Turn on "allow multiple answers" when a question has more than one valid response. When it is off, each employee picks a single option.

Can I set a poll to close automatically?

Yes. Turn on "set an end date" and the poll closes at the time you choose, so you collect responses within a clear window without having to close it manually.

Do employees need a corporate email or a PC to vote?

No. Flip is built for frontline workers without corporate email or a desk. Employees vote directly on their own smartphone, which is why deskless teams take part as readily as office staff.
