Workleap Officevibe is grounded in psychological and organizational science. It helps organizations strengthen employee engagement and team performance by turning research into practical insights.
Its framework and survey design are built on validated models that guide Managers and HR leaders in creating healthier, more productive workplaces.
Foundational theories behind the framework
The Officevibe framework is informed by several well-established models in organizational psychology and behavioural science. These theories support meaningful team development by focusing on motivation, well-being, and collaboration.
Key influences include:
Self-Determination Theory (SDT) – Motivation improves when people experience autonomy, competence, and connection.
Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) Model – Engagement increases when job demands are balanced with adequate support and recognition.
Employee Experience (EX) Models – Highlight how purpose, leadership, and growth contribute to overall employee satisfaction.
High-Performing Team Models – Emphasize the importance of trust, communication, and psychological safety.
These models are directly reflected in the Pulse Survey’s 10 Key Metrics.
Understanding the 10 Key Metrics
Each Pulse Survey question ties back to one or more of the 10 Key Metrics. They give a full view of how employees feel and function at work.
The metrics focus on:
Manager relationships – Trust, support, and communication with the Direct Manager.
Feedback and recognition – Whether employees feel heard and valued.
Growth and alignment – Opportunities for development and connection to company goals.
Workplace satisfaction – General happiness, workload balance, and peer relationships.
Ambassadorship – Whether employees take pride in the organization and would recommend it to others.
This structure allows teams to monitor progress over time and adjust based on real data.
A research-driven survey approach
Workleap Officevibe’s survey design is shaped by research to ensure data quality and trustworthiness.
Here's how:
Each Pulse Survey includes 15 randomized questions from a larger validated set.
Responses are always anonymous and aggregated to promote honest feedback.
All questions are mapped to specific metrics, helping teams identify trends and act quickly.
Surveys are reviewed and updated by Workleap’s organizational psychologists to keep them aligned with best practices.
Turning insights into action
The data collected from Pulse Surveys is presented in an accessible way for both Managers and HR leaders.
Managers get a clear view of team dynamics and can address challenges early.
HR leaders gain a broader understanding of engagement across the organization.
With this insight, teams can:
Improve communication and feedback loops.
Strengthen trust and psychological safety.
Identify areas for growth and celebrate successes.
By grounding every feature in science, Workleap Officevibe empowers teams to build better workplaces—one conversation at a time.
