The 8 post meeting survey questions, plus 11 swaps
A post meeting survey is a short set of questions the people in a meeting answer as it ends: was it worth the time, was the purpose clear, did it finish when booked, and does everyone know what happens next. These eight are ready to send, or edit them in the free survey software.
The survey: 8 questions, in this order
Seven ratings on one agree scale, then one open answer.
- This meeting was a good use of my time.the one number to track from meeting to meeting.
- I knew what this meeting was for before it started.a low score says the agenda never reached people.
- This meeting was relevant to the work I am responsible for.points at the invite list rather than the hour.
- The discussion stayed on what the meeting was for.
- The meeting finished at the time it was booked to finish.the finish only; the start is in the swaps below.
- I left this meeting knowing what happens next.low here means the hour ended without next steps.
- I had a chance to say what I thought.look at the spread; an average hides who stayed quiet.
- If one thing about this meeting were different next time, what should it be?read these answers first.
Swaps for a standing series (6 questions)
For the meeting that happens every week with the same people. Trade these in for core questions three to seven.
- This meeting should stay in the calendar as it is.ask it once a quarter.
- Compared with a month ago, this meeting is getting better.
- The right people were in the room for what we discussed.
- The meeting started at the time it was booked to start.
- The same ground gets covered every week in this meeting.agreement is the low score on this one.
- I was able to do other work during this meeting without missing anything.agreement means this person did not need to attend.
Swaps for a one-off or a decision meeting (5 questions)
For the meeting called to settle one thing.
- We reached a decision on the thing this meeting was called for.
- I know who is doing what next.sharper than core question six when tasks have owners.
- Nothing about the room or the connection got in the way.covers both ends of a hybrid call.
- This meeting could have been an email.agreement is the low score on this one.
- I would come to this meeting again if it were optional.
As the meeting ends: sending it and reading it
Send it to everyone who was in the meeting, as it ends. Paste the link into the recurring invite once and it travels with every occurrence. In a group of six or eight, tell people who reads the answers.
Read the open answers first. Then count who agreed on each rating: an item two people marked down is the thing to change. An agenda sent ahead and a punctual start and finish both lift how effective a meeting feels.[1] Fix one thing, say which, and ask again after the next meeting.
A team looking back at its last sprint takes the retrospective survey. One talk to an audience takes the seminar feedback form. To rate the person who ran the session, use the facilitator feedback form.
Post meeting survey FAQ
How many questions should a post meeting survey have?
Eight is enough for the end of a meeting: seven ratings and one open answer take about two minutes. For a standing series or a decision meeting, trade in questions from the two swap blocks and keep the total at eight.
When should you send a post meeting survey?
In the last two minutes, while everyone is still there. A brief check straight after a meeting is what shapes the next one.[1] For a broadcast to an audience, send the post webinar survey questions.
Should a post meeting survey be anonymous?
With six or eight people, say who reads the answers and ask things people would say out loud, as these eight do. For answers nobody can attribute, run the employee pulse survey questions across several teams at once.
What is a meeting effectiveness survey?
The same survey under another name. Meeting effectiveness survey, meeting feedback survey and post meeting survey all mean a short set of questions about how one meeting went. For how people feel about the job as a whole, use the employee engagement survey.
