The 14 employee feedback survey questions

An employee feedback survey is a short, anonymous questionnaire that asks staff how work is going, where the pressure sits and whether they can raise problems. HR teams also call it a voice of employee survey. Start from these 14 questions to create your own survey.

Plain text, one question per line, with the answer scale.

How work is going (2 questions)

The level, then the direction. Read them together.

Overall, working at this organization is going well for me right now.1 to 5 agree
Over the last three months, how has work changed for you?1 to 5, much worse to much betterA low score that is rising is progress; read the direction first.

Where the pressure is (6 questions)

One question per area, so the lowest score shows where to look next.

I can keep up with the amount of work I am given.1 to 5 agree
The way work is planned here helps me do my job.1 to 5 agree
Decisions that change my work are explained to me clearly.1 to 5 agree
When we are busy, extra work is shared fairly across my team.1 to 5 agree
I am treated the same as everyone else in my role.1 to 5 agree
Pay is one of the top three things I would change at work.1 to 5 agreeAgreement here with good scores elsewhere means pay is the main story.

Whether people can speak up (3 questions)

The voice questions: an unraised issue, a known channel, a reply.

I have held back from raising an issue at work.1 to 5 agreeReverse-worded: agreeing means someone is sitting on an issue.
I know where to raise a problem at work outside this survey.1 to 5 agree
When someone here raises a problem, they hear back about what happens next.1 to 5 agree

In their words, then one rating (3 questions)

Two optional boxes, then how comfortable people felt answering.

If you had an hour with the person in charge, what would you raise?Long text, optional
What, if anything, has kept you from raising something here?Long text, optional
How comfortable did you feel answering this survey honestly?1 to 5, not at all to completely comfortableRead this first: high comfort means the other answers are candid.

How to use the employee feedback survey

Send it to everyone in the organization at the same time and keep it open for a week. Use an anonymous link, and say at the top who will read the answers.

Read question 14 and questions 9 to 11 first, because they tell you how candid the rest is. Then find the lowest of questions 3 to 8 and read the comments for the reason.

When the pressure sits with one manager, the manager effectiveness survey goes deeper. When pay tops the list, the compensation survey questions ask how pay is set. When comments keep returning to job cuts, send the job security questionnaire.

Share two changes you will make within a month, then run the same 14 questions again in six months.

Employee feedback survey structure: two overall questions, six one-question pressure points, three speak-up questions, two optional comment boxes and a closing comfort rating — Fourteen questions in five groups, with the three speak-up questions at the center.

Employee feedback survey FAQ

What is a voice of employee survey?

A voice of employee survey asks staff whether they can speak up at work and whether anything happens when they do. Questions 9 to 13 here cover exactly that, so this template works as one as it stands.

Can managers see who answered an anonymous employee survey?

No. None of the 14 questions asks who is answering. To keep it that way in the report, follow the US federal employee survey, which masks the details of anyone whose work unit and demographics match fewer than five respondents.[1]

How is an employee feedback survey different from an engagement survey?

An employee engagement survey scores how invested people are in their work and tracks it year to year. An employee feedback survey finds what needs fixing now and whether people can raise it. For a monthly check between rounds, use the employee pulse survey.
