Remote Work Experience Survey
Understanding how employees experience remote work is critical for retention and productivity. This comprehensive survey covers all aspects of the remote work experience: home office setup, technology and tools, communication effectiveness, work-life balance, and manager support. Use quarterly to track trends and identify areas needing attention. The survey includes satisfaction sliders, matrix questions for detailed tool ratings, and open-ended sections for qualitative feedback.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should we run this survey?
Quarterly is ideal for tracking trends without causing survey fatigue. Consider running it after major policy changes (e.g., return-to-office announcements) or when onboarding remote employees.
Should this be anonymous?
Yes, anonymity typically yields more honest feedback about sensitive topics like work-life balance and manager support. If you need demographic breakdowns, keep groups large enough to maintain anonymity.
What actions should we take based on results?
Focus on low-scoring areas. Common actions include: upgrading home office stipends, improving async communication guidelines, training managers on remote leadership, and clarifying availability expectations.
How do we handle hybrid workers?
This survey works for fully remote and hybrid employees. The questions adapt to their experience. Consider segmenting results to compare fully remote vs hybrid satisfaction levels.
What benchmarks should we target?
Aim for 4+ out of 5 stars on key metrics. Work-life balance scores below 60% and productivity ratings under 3.5 stars indicate issues requiring attention. Track your own trends over time as the best benchmark.
