Employee satisfaction survey generator

Pick your themes and the survey builds itself. You leave with questions ready to send, in plain text, that you can paste into an email or a form. A staff survey is only worth the questions you ask, so these are written to get answers you can act on.

Your themes

Three or four themes beat six. A short survey gets filled in. A complete one gets postponed.

Your survey

24 questions

Each question answers on a 1 to 5 scale, apart from the open ones. Keep it anonymous above 15 respondents. Below that, say so plainly, because nobody believes in anonymity on a team of eight.

The survey is the easy part

The hard part is what you do with the answers. A survey with no follow-through does more damage than no survey. A 30-minute call, free of charge.
