Overview
The Onboarding Survey is designed to gather feedback from new employees during the onboarding process. It consists of 15 questions covering:
- Recruitment
- Motivation
- Employee engagement
- Job satisfaction
- Role understanding
Collecting feedback early in an employee's journey helps organizations improve the onboarding experience and identify opportunities to better support new hires.
Benefits of the Onboarding Survey

Collect Immediate Feedback
New employees can share questions, concerns, and suggestions early in their employment, allowing organizations to resolve issues before they become larger challenges.

Understanding how new employees connect with the organization's values, mission, and culture helps reinforce expectations and strengthen employee commitment.

Default Configuration and Reporting
By default, the Onboarding Survey:
- Is sent once
- Collects non-anonymous responses
Survey-level reporting is available after the survey has been sent.
Expanded Engagement Reporting Dashboards with additional reporting capabilities are currently in development.
We are currently working to add support for both of these surveys in our expanded Engagement Reporting Dashboards. Those new dashboards will be coming soon, and in the meantime, please take advantage of the survey-level reporting once a survey has been sent.
