HR / Internal 12 Questions

Employee Satisfaction Survey Template

Measure employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS) and workplace satisfaction. Identify engagement drivers, management effectiveness, and areas for improvement.

About This Template

This employee satisfaction survey is designed for HR teams, people operations, and company leaders who want to measure and improve workplace engagement. It covers the core drivers of employee satisfaction: management quality, career development, recognition, work-life balance, and compensation.

The eNPS question provides a single, trackable loyalty metric that correlates with retention and productivity. Combined with the open-ended questions, you get both a quantitative benchmark and qualitative insights into what matters most to your team.

Tips for Customization

Run this survey quarterly or bi-annually to track engagement trends over time without survey fatigue.

Guarantee anonymity -- employees give more honest feedback when they know responses cannot be traced to them.

Add department or team-level segmentation to identify pockets of low engagement.

The eNPS question (question 2) gives you a single benchmarkable score to track alongside industry averages.

Share results and action plans with the team -- nothing kills engagement faster than surveys that lead to no change.

Consider adding a question about remote/hybrid work satisfaction if applicable to your organization.
