You can't ask someone what they'd like for their work anniversary without giving away that you're planning something. So the gift either arrives generic, which reads as obligatory, or you spend a week asking their teammates what they like to drink. Typeform's employee favorites questionnaire collects it once, up front, so you have it every time an occasion comes around.

Employees list their coffee order, the snacks they'd actually eat, their interests, and anything to avoid. Someone who flags a dietary restriction is asked what it rules out, while others without, move straight on. Nobody has to explain an allergy twice, and nobody receives a gift they can’t enjoy.

When a birthday, an anniversary, or a first day comes round, the answer is already on file. You hit the mark because the gift is something they already specified they enjoy.

Employee Favorites Questionnaire FAQs:

An employee favorites questionnaire is an online form employees fill in to share the things they like—from their coffee order to how they prefer to be recognized. It collects favorite snacks and drinks, hobbies and interests, dietary restrictions, and the kind of recognition they'd actually appreciate. People teams and managers use employee favorites questionnaires to make birthdays, milestones, and welcome gifts personal rather than generic.

Without one, you find out what someone likes by asking them, which spoils the surprise, or by guessing, which produces the same gift card everyone else got. Recognition that misses the mark reads as an obligation, rather than an appreciated gesture. An employee favorites questionnaire collects the answers about your employees’ favorites before you need them, so you don’t have to scramble when it comes time.

Cover what makes recognition land:

  • Favorite coffee or drink order
  • Snacks they'd actually eat
  • Dietary restrictions and allergies
  • Hobbies and interests
  • How they like to be recognized

Yes, and it's often the more useful answer. Public praise at an all-hands lands well for some people and badly for others, and there's no way to tell which works for which employees without asking them. When you ask employees directly, you learn whether someone wants their milestone announced to the company or handled with a quiet praise and a card.

Yes. Add an address question and remote employees fill it in alongside their favorites, so you can send out appreciation gifts without anyone asking where they live, the week of their anniversary. Keep it optional, since some of your team would rather not put a home address on a form.
