About this template
Employee Satisfaction Survey is a ready-to-use survey template with 5 questions that takes about 4 minutes to answer. Annual pulse check on workplace satisfaction.
Employee feedback templates run from onboarding through engagement pulses to the exit interview. They work best when people believe the answers are anonymous, so keep the question count low, avoid anything that identifies a small team, and publish what you changed as a result — response rates on the second round depend almost entirely on what happened after the first. Everything in this template is editable — treat the questions below as a starting point that already has the structure right, then cut what does not apply to you.
- Who should use it
- HR teams, people managers and founders running their first structured feedback cycle.
- When to use it
- On a fixed cadence (quarterly pulse, annual engagement) plus one-off moments: onboarding, promotion, exit.
What this template helps you measure
- Overall satisfaction
- Scored ratings you can trend over time
- Open-ended feedback in respondents’ own words
Every question in this template
5 questions, with what each one is doing there. Change or remove any of them after you make your copy.
Overall job satisfaction*
Star ratingWhy this matters: A scale answer about overall satisfaction takes a second to give, which is most of why respondents reach the end of this template at all.
Work-life balance*
Star ratingWhy this matters: Turns a subjective impression into a score you can trend over time and compare across teams or locations.
Compensation and benefits*
Star ratingWhy this matters: A scored answer is the part of this template you can chart — the open questions explain the movement, this one detects it.
Career growth opportunities*
Star ratingWhy this matters: Rating this on its own scale keeps it from being averaged away inside a single overall score.
Open feedback
Long textWhy this matters: Unprompted wording surfaces problems you did not think to ask about — the ones no fixed-option question in this template would have caught.
