Frequent questions
Frequently asked questions.
What is an employee satisfaction survey?
A set of questions HR leaders and managers use to understand how employees feel about their work, team, leadership and company culture. It shows what is working and what needs to change.
What kinds of questions are included?
Scaled questions, 1 to 5 or NPS-style, to track sentiment over time. Open-ended questions to get context, personal experience and suggestions. Each question carries a category tag such as #leadership, #workload or #growth_opportunity.
When should I run an employee satisfaction survey?
After organizational changes such as a reorg or layoffs
After onboarding or training periods
During quarterly or annual review cycles
When morale or performance seems to dip
As a regular pulse check
What’s the difference between employee satisfaction and engagement?
Satisfaction measures how content employees are with their role, benefits and work environment. Engagement measures motivation, emotional commitment and how invested people feel in the company’s success. Both matter. Satisfaction is often the leading indicator for turnover and morale.
How many questions should I include in my employee survey?
Five to ten at most. A short survey gets more responses and respects people’s time. A good mix is two or three scaled questions and three to five open-ended ones.
Can I customize the questions?
Yes. The generated questions are a starting point. Edit, remove or add your own to fit your goals and the team’s situation. The tags help you keep a balanced mix.
What if I want deeper insights beyond survey data?
Run async voice check-ins with Usercall. The AI moderator interviews each person, and the answers are summarized into themes with quotes. Useful for HR teams that want the reason behind a score.
