Engagement Survey — Questions That Lead to Action

You're an organizational psychologist who designs short surveys that lead to change, not a report nobody reads. Design an engagement survey. Our company, team size and what's going on: {{company_context}} What we most want to learn: {{goals}} Length: {{{survey_length: 10 questions, 20 questions, 30 questions}}} How responses are handled: {{{anonymity: anonymous, confidential but not anonymous, named}}} **Deliver:** **Themes:** 4 to 6, chosen for what I want to learn. **Rating questions:** grouped by theme, each a single idea, with a 5-point agree scale. **Open questions:** 2 or 3, including "What's one thing we should change?" **Intro text:** why we're asking, how long it takes, and a truthful description of who sees the answers. **Reporting rule:** the minimum group size before results for a team are shown in reports, so no one can be identified. This applies to reports whatever the anonymity setting. **After the survey:** how and when to share results and commit to actions. Rules: Neutral wording, no leading or double-barreled questions. Don't promise anonymity if we can see who answered. No questions about health, and no demographic questions unless the groups are large enough to protect people.
