The 7 team building survey questions in this template.
About the employee first, then the team. Change any question to fit your company.
About the employee
-
How long have you been working at this company?
Why ask it. Compare how newcomers and long-time employees see the team.
-
What’s your department?
Why ask it. Shows where each answer comes from. It is an open answer; swap it for a dropdown with your departments so the report groups them.
-
What’s your position?
Why ask it. Separates the views of managers and their teams. A dropdown with your positions makes them easy to compare.
The team and management
-
How close are you to the team?
Why ask it. A five-step scale of belonging. The share on the top two steps is the number the event should raise.
-
Would you change your team if you had the chance?
Why ask it. An early warning: someone who would certainly change teams is telling you something before they leave.
-
How would you describe your relationships in the team?
Why ask it. Shows whether the team is friendly, still forming or strictly business, and that decides what kind of event fits.
-
How would you describe your relationship with the management team?
Why ask it. Tells you whether the event should bring managers and the team together, or whether the gap is elsewhere.

Compare before and after
Closeness to the team and relationships with colleagues and management each get a chart. Run the same survey a few weeks after the event and compare the charts.
How to read team building survey results.
How close the team is
The closeness question shows how many people feel part of the team and how many work on their own. Compare the shares before and after the event.
Who wants to leave the team
A large share of “Yes, I certainly would” on changing teams points to a problem an event will not fix by itself. On Basic and higher plans, filter the answers by time at the company to see who answers that way.
Colleagues or management
Read the two relationship questions side by side to see whether the gap is between colleagues or between the team and its managers. Export the answers to Excel, CSV or SPSS on any plan.
How to get honest answers from your team.
-
Promise anonymity and keep it
Turn on anonymous mode and tell the team before they answer. It hides IP address, country, browser and device.
-
Mind small teams
In a team of five, department and position can point to a person. Delete them when the group is small.
-
Ask about the event too
Add one question on what kind of event people want, and plan from the answers.
-
Close the loop
Share the results and what the event is meant to change, then run the survey again afterwards.

When should I run a team building survey?
Before you plan an event, to find the gap it should close, and a few weeks after it with the same questions, to see what changed.
