Welcome to Birdsong - home of the Charity Pulse benchmark.
Birdsong’s staff and volunteer surveys help charities work more effectively with their people.
​Staff and volunteer satisfaction surveys are a powerful way for an organisation to keep in touch with what their people are thinking and feeling. Birdsong is proud to have worked with the not-for-profit sector for more than twenty years, providing recognised survey expertise and insightful benchmarking to hundreds of charities.
Charity Pulse
Our most popular survey is Charity Pulse, a satisfaction and engagement survey developed by Birdsong that has been taken by tens of thousands of staff and volunteers across the charitable sector. Charity Pulse is carefully crafted to probe the issues that matter most to charity people and, by guaranteeing anonymity, the survey generates real and honest survey answers.
Hospice Survey
The Birdsong Hospice Survey is a recognised and well-trusted staff and volunteer satisfaction survey set up specifically to provide UK hospices with a cost-effective means of seeking honest staff and/or volunteer opinions about their roles and their workplace. Hospices can compare their results each year with Birdsong’s annual Hospice Survey benchmark.
Thoughtful Bear, run by Birdsong’s co-founders, specialises in leadership coaching and mentoring, team and cultural development, and organisational effectiveness. Find out more here.
