Each question gets its own chart, with the most popular sport, workshop, course, party and outing on top.
Ideas you did not list
Every question has an Other field. Read those answers for activities people want that you have not thought of.
Answers by team
The template does not ask for the department. Add that question, and on Basic and higher plans filter the answers by team. Export everything to Excel, CSV or SPSS on any plan.
How to turn answers into activities.
-
Offer what you can run
Every option on the list is a promise. Remove what the budget or the office cannot support before you send it.
-
Ask before the season
Outdoor sports and outings need planning. Send the survey early enough to book them.
-
Publish the calendar
Share the activities people chose and their dates, so the team sees the program came from their answers.
-
Keep it voluntary
Say in the invitation that activities are optional. People answer for themselves rather than for what they think is expected.

Questions about this template
What questions should an employee engagement survey ask?
Two kinds: questions that measure engagement, such as pride in the company, plans to stay and a 0–10 recommendation, and questions about what would make people more engaged. This template covers the second kind with five questions on activities. Add the first kind in the builder in a few clicks.
Does this template measure engagement?
It asks which activities people want to join. To measure engagement itself, add an eNPS question and a few agree–disagree statements, and run the survey with the same questions each quarter.
Can employees answer anonymously?
Yes. Nobody is asked for a name or e-mail, and anonymous mode in the survey settings, available on every plan including Free, also hides each respondent’s IP address, country, browser and device. Turn it on whenever you add questions about the company or managers.
Can I change the activities?
Yes. After you copy the template you can edit every option, remove what you cannot offer and add your own. The Other field stays at the end of each list.
Plan activities your team chose.
Keep the activities you can offer and send the survey to the whole team.
