Free question set #1: Employee engagement beyond Covid-19

Use these free survey questions to understand how your employees feel about new ways of working, flexible working arrangements and wellbeing during times of continued uncertainty. 

These survey questions were originally developed by People Insight’s organisational psychologists to help measure employee engagement during extended periods of working from home.

While we are (mostly) returning to normal now, some employees remain anxious about returning to the office and changes to how they are expected to work. In addition, employee wellbeing is at an all-time-low and the cost-of-living crisis is causing many to worry about financial stability.

Recent times have taught us how vital it is to ask how people are feeling and respond in a meaningful way during times of upheaval or transition.

Use these survey questions to paint a picture of how your people are doing as we adjust to life post-pandemic, to understand how you can support their wellbeing and identify where your change efforts should focus.
