⭐ Best Practices
- Keep it short - 5-10 questions is ideal; longer surveys have lower completion rates
- Put key questions first - Most important questions at the top in case users don’t finish
- Be specific - “How satisfied were you with orientation?” beats “How are things?”
- Mix question types - Vary scales, choices, and open-ended to maintain engagement
- Use anonymity for sensitive topics - Culture surveys, leadership feedback, complaints
- Survey at milestones - Day 7, Day 30, Day 90 are natural feedback points
- Set a time limit - A few days creates urgency and improves response rates
🎯 Common Use Cases
- Onboarding Feedback: Comprehensive assessment at 7, 30, and 90 days
- Training Evaluations: Multi-dimensional evaluation of training effectiveness
- Employee Engagement: Quarterly pulse surveys with multiple engagement indicators
- Exit Interviews: Detailed feedback from departing employees
- Culture Assessments: Anonymous surveys on company culture and values
