Questions to consider for your employee satisfaction survey

Use these questions as suggestions when editing your copy. Keep the ones that fit your purpose and add any details your process needs.

  • Overall, how satisfied are you with your current role?
  • How manageable has your workload been over the past month?
  • How supported do you feel by your manager?
  • How comfortable do you feel raising a concern at work?
  • How satisfied are you with your opportunities to learn and develop?
  • What one change would most improve your day-to-day work experience?

How to use the responses

Review the spread of ratings for each topic rather than relying only on an overall average. Group comments into themes such as workload, manager support, and development. Avoid reporting small-team breakdowns or identifiable quotes that could reveal who answered. Choose a manageable improvement, assign an owner, and tell employees what will happen next. For a later survey, keep the core questions, scales, and reporting period consistent so comparisons are useful, while noting changes in who responded.

How to customize and share this template

  1. Explain the purpose, who will see responses, and how the team will use the findings.
  2. Keep questions focused on observable work experiences. Use a consistent scale for similar topics and separate comments about the workplace from individual performance decisions.
  3. Review identifying details and settings before sharing. Agree how results will be summarized and when employees will hear about the next steps.

Frequently asked questions

How is an employee satisfaction survey different from a performance review?
An employee satisfaction survey asks how people experience their workplace, including workload, support, and development. A performance review evaluates an individual's work against agreed expectations. Keep these purposes separate and explain who will see survey responses before inviting feedback.
Can I customize this survey template?
Yes. Choose Use this template to make your own copy in Youform. Edit the questions and colors, review the whole flow, then share a link or embed it on your website. See Youform plans for advanced features.
Can an employee survey be anonymous?
You can design it to avoid collecting names, emails, and other identifying details, then review the relevant Youform settings. Also consider whether team size, job role, or written comments could identify someone before promising anonymity.
What should happen after an employee survey?
Review recurring themes, choose practical changes, and tell employees what you learned and what happens next. Explain what cannot change as well, so the survey does not become a request for feedback with no visible follow-up.
