## **Key Features of the Survey Engine:**

### 1. **Preloaded Survey Templates**

- HRSimplified offers a variety of **preloaded survey templates** to help you get started. These templates cover areas such as:
  - **Employee Well-being**
  - **Health & Safety (H&S) inspections**
  - **Exit Interviews**
- Each template comes preloaded with questions, but they are fully customizable. You can edit, add, or remove questions to suit your company's needs.

### 2. **Customizable Surveys**

- If a preloaded template doesn't meet your requirements, you can create a survey from scratch. HRSimplified allows full customization, enabling you to add multiple types of questions, including **free text**, **yes/no**, and **multiple choice**.

### 3. **Assigning Surveys and Notifications**

- Once your survey template is ready, you can assign it to specific employees or groups. The system will notify employees when a survey has been assigned to them, and they can access and complete the survey via their **My Surveys** menu.

### 4. **Anonymous vs. Named Surveys**

- HRSimplified gives you the option to send surveys either as **anonymous** or **named**:
  - **Anonymous**: The employee's identity is hidden, and only the answers are visible to HR.
  - **Named**: The survey responses are linked to individual employees, which can be useful for tracking feedback.

### 5. **Tracking and Reporting**

- After surveys are completed, HR can track progress and gather results from the system. Survey responses are stored in the system for easy reference and can be downloaded as PDFs for reporting and analysis.
