Our employee engagement surveys have been developed with employees in mind; they are user-friendly, provide measurable results, and take seconds to complete.
1. Employee Engagement 🤝
With the ‘Employee Engagement’ survey, you can measure employees’ emotional and intellectual engagement towards the company, as well as their dedication.
With answers rated on a five-point scale, statements such as ‘I am proud to be an employee at GoHire’ can be measured accurately over time.
Seven questions will be sent out weekly - one question per week - to help understand employees’ engagement over a period of time, and the results can be seen any time.
2. Team Performance 🤼♂️
With the ‘Team Performance’ survey, you are able to understand essential team dynamics and employees’ engagement levels with coworkers.
‘My team has clear and prioritised objectives’ is an example of one of the questions in this survey. Measuring with a five-point scale can accurately determine results in real time.
This survey consists of eight questions, with one question sent out weekly, allowing you to see results over the space of two months.
3. Company and Leadership 🏆
With the ‘Company and Leadership’ survey, teams and managers can gain insights into employees’ confidence in the company’s management and leadership.
‘My manager communicates well what is expected of me’ is an example of the questions your employees will receive on a weekly basis.
This survey consists of ten questions sent weekly and rated on a five-point scale, allowing you to receive accurate, real-time results that can be tracked at any time.
4. Motivation and Belief 🎯
The ‘Motivation and Belief’ survey helps teams to understand employees’ job motivation and alignment with your company’s mission and objectives.
One question in this survey would be, ‘I have the opportunity to challenge myself every day at [my company]’, again rating on a five-point scale with one question weekly for nine weeks.
Running this survey over two months allows you to track employees’ motivations over time and thus gain effective results.
5. Personal Development 📈
The ‘Personal Development’ survey helps teams to gauge how satisfied employees are with their personal career development at the company.
One example of this survey’s questions would be, ‘[my company] gives me opportunities to learn and develop new skills’. The five-point scale accompanying the survey allows employees to give an accurate answer and thus provide HR managers and business leaders with the relevant information to make changes.
This survey runs over seven weeks with one question sent out per week.
6. Personal Wellbeing 🌱
In order to understand employees’ personal happiness and work-life balance satisfaction at your company, we provide a ‘Personal Wellbeing’ survey.

The five-point scale provides accurate results in real time, that can be viewed anywhere, at any time before the end of the survey.
