What you can measure
Standard plan+
Pulse Surveys
Deploy customizable pulse surveys directly in Slack channels or Teams teams. Research-backed team dynamic survey templates included. Anonymous feedback collection with channel-based or team-based targeting.
Premium plan
Silent Quitter Detection
Identify employees showing disengagement patterns before they resign. LEAD tracks willingness to connect, response behaviors, and participation trends to flag at-risk employees early.
Premium plan
Behavioral Benchmarking
Compare your organization’s connection patterns against anonymized benchmarks from 2,000+ LEAD deployments. See how your teams stack up on willingness to connect, cross-team collaboration, and engagement velocity.
Premium plan
Culture Champion Reporting
Identify the people who drive culture and connection across your organization. Recognize informal leaders, bridge-builders, and knowledge hubs that org charts miss.
Employee preference settings
Employees stay in control of their participation. LEAD respects individual preferences so engagement stays genuine, not forced.
Participant profiles
Employees set their own bio, interests, and matching preferences. Profiles help LEAD make smarter matches based on what people actually want to connect about.
Opt-in, opt-out, pause
Employees can opt in or out of any program at any time. Going on vacation? Pause matching with a single command and resume when you’re back. No admin needed.
Admin controls
Admins can exclude specific users, set matching rules per team, and configure different programs for different groups. Full audit trails on every change.
GDPR and privacy compliant
LEAD observes collaboration patterns, never message content. All data stays within your organization. Full GDPR compliance with data export and deletion capabilities. Employees always know what data is collected and how it is used.

Frequently asked questions
What is a pulse survey?
A short, frequent survey (usually 3-5 questions) sent to employees to measure engagement, satisfaction, or team dynamics in real time. Unlike annual surveys, pulse surveys give you continuous insight so you can act before problems grow.
Can LEAD detect disengaged employees?
Yes. LEAD’s Premium plan includes silent quitter detection, which tracks participation patterns, willingness to connect, and response behaviors. It flags employees showing disengagement signals early, giving managers time to intervene.
How is this different from traditional employee surveys?
Traditional surveys are annual, slow to analyze, and disconnected from actual behavior. LEAD pulse surveys run continuously inside Slack and Teams, combine survey data with behavioral patterns, and deliver results in real time.
Does LEAD.bot read my messages?
No. LEAD observes collaboration patterns: who connects with whom and how often. It never reads message content, emails, or private conversations.
Do Donut or CoffeePals offer engagement analytics?
No. Neither Donut nor CoffeePals offers pulse surveys, silent quitter detection, behavioral benchmarking, or culture champion reporting. These features are unique to LEAD.
