What export formats does Empuls support for survey reports?

Empuls gives HR and People teams full control over how they export and distribute survey data. Every survey report is accessible from the analytics dashboard, where you can download results in PDF or CSV format without additional configuration or manual data extraction.

​

PDF exports for instant sharing

PDF exports from Empuls are formatted for immediate distribution. Whether you are sending eNPS results to a leadership team or sharing engagement scores with a business unit head, the exported PDFs are clean and presentation-ready. Charts including stacked-bar and weighted-average visualisations are rendered at question level, so the output requires no post-processing before forwarding to stakeholders.

​

CSV and Excel for deeper analysis

CSV exports open natively in Microsoft Excel, preserving all raw response data so you can rebuild or extend any view Empuls generates in the dashboard. If your team maintains standard Excel templates for quarterly engagement reviews, you can import a fresh CSV export into those templates and produce consistent, branded reports without rebuilding formulas from scratch. Weighted-average calculations and stacked-bar charts are fully reconstructable from the exported data columns.

​

Building PowerPoint decks from Empuls data

Empuls does not produce a native PPTX file, but the workflow most teams use is straightforward. The most common approach is to insert the PDF-exported charts as images into existing PowerPoint slide templates — this preserves visual fidelity and requires no manual reformatting. Alternatively, teams pull the CSV or Excel data into custom slides, which works well when the People team wants full control over chart styling or needs to combine Empuls data with headcount metrics from HRIS platforms like Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, or Darwinbox.

​

Organisational slices come with every export

Every export in Empuls respects the segmentation and filters you set in the dashboard. Results can be sliced by organisational hierarchy, department, location, tenure band, or any other demographic dimension your admin has configured. The PDF or CSV you download already reflects the cohort-level view your stakeholders need — no manual filtering in Excel after the fact. Teams that distribute engagement summaries through MS Teams channels or Slack workspaces find these pre-filtered exports particularly useful for team-level reviews.

​

Designed to fit your existing reporting workflow

Empuls exports are built around the reality that most People teams already have established reporting cadences and slide templates. PDF handles visual sharing; CSV handles analytical depth. Both formats slot into existing workflows rather than replacing them, so adoption across HR operations, Finance, and leadership audiences stays frictionless. Learn more: Empuls Help Centre — General
