Happy employees are the engine of a successful organisation. Use our expert-designed Employee Satisfaction Survey Template to gain actionable insights, from what your team loves most about their roles to the workplace challenges they want solved.

An employee satisfaction survey gauges how happy employees are in their roles. It measures job satisfaction, morale, burnout levels and other key factors to help HR teams better engage employees. An employee satisfaction form template can help improve employee engagement, morale, productivity and retention.

Use our employee satisfaction survey template to address any of the following scenarios:

  • Your organisation is experiencing high employee turnover.
  • Employees are noticeably less productive and engaged in their job (e.g. coming into work late, missing deadlines, etc.).
  • You see an influx of negative comments on employee review sites, such as Glassdoor.
  • There’s low attendance at company-wide meetings and off-site company events.

The list could go on and will look different for every organisation. When in doubt, use our employee satisfaction survey template to gain a clearer understanding of your organisation’s strengths and weaknesses. Better yet, customise the questions in our job satisfaction survey to gather more nuanced responses that are specific to your organisation.

Programmes connect multiple surveys to show you trends. Available on Advantage plans and higher.

Here are a few sample employee satisfaction survey questions we recommend including in your survey:

  • How proud are you of your employer’s brand?
  • How well are you paid for the work you do?
  • In a typical week, how often do you feel stressed at work?
  • How challenging is your job?

Whether you’re facing high employee turnover rates or low attendance at company-wide meetings, you can measure engagement and morale with our ready-made template. Send out the employee satisfaction survey to collect direct feedback from your employees about their workplace experiences.
