# What is the construct of Lifecycle Surveys?

Lifecycle Surveys consist of multiple parameters that are listed as follows.

* **Touchpoint**: is a key event in the employee journey that triggers a survey to capture timely feedback.\
  For example, when an employee completes 30 days, a survey is sent to understand their onboarding experience.\
  Each touchpoint covers specific themes relevant to that stage in the lifecycle.<br>

* **Survey Duration:** Each Lifecycle Survey remains open for **7 days**, during which employees are expected to respond.
* **Survey Reminders:** Automated reminders are sent on **Tuesdays and Thursdays**. Engagement Admins can also manually trigger reminders from the platform as needed.
* **Questions:** HR teams can include **any number of questions** per touchpoint, though we recommend keeping surveys concise due to their higher frequency.
* **Question Types:** Lifecycle Surveys support multiple formats:
  * **Range (0–10):** e.g., our flagship eNPS question
  * **4-Point Likert:** From *Strongly Disagree* to *Strongly Agree*
  * **Yes/No:** Simple binary responses
  * **Multiple Choice:** Customizable options
  * **Open Text:** For capturing qualitative feedback
