Workplace Culture Survey
The culture written on your careers page means nothing if it falls apart in daily meetings and messages. Collect input on collaboration, communication, respect, and psychological safety.
Every company claims a great culture. Far fewer check whether employees actually live one. The mission statement says one thing, but the real culture shows up in how people treat each other daily. Typeform's workplace culture survey template gives People teams a clear process to measure culture as employees experience it.
The survey looks at the everyday signals of culture: collaboration, open communication, and whether respect holds under pressure. With Typeform, employees move through questions one at a time, so the survey feels like a conversation, not an audit. Conditional logic tailors the survey based on the employee's responses. Someone on a remote team answers different questions about connection than someone in the office daily, keeping questions relevant.
Customize the questions to reflect how your teams actually work, whether in person, hybrid, or fully remote. Share it through email, your intranet, or a link in your team channels. Responses land in Google Sheets or Airtable via Zapier, so trends across departments become obvious fast. You stop defending the culture on your website and start improving the one your employees feel every day.
A workplace culture survey measures how employees experience the day-to-day environment they work in. It captures collaboration, communication, respect, and whether the stated culture matches daily reality. People teams that run workplace culture surveys consistently close the gap between the culture they promote and what employees actually experience.
A culture that sounds great on paper but breaks down in daily practice does more damage than having no concrete values at all. Employees notice the gap, lose trust in what leadership says, and stop taking new initiatives seriously. That cynicism spreads quietly, showing up as disengagement and stalled collaboration, long before anyone connects it to a breakdown in culture. A workplace culture survey pinpoints where daily practice diverges from advocated culture, so you can act before skepticism becomes the norm.
Cover what shapes daily working life:
- How well teams collaborate across roles and departments
- Whether communication feels open, honest, and two-way
- How much respect people show each other under pressure
- Whether employees feel safe raising concerns or disagreeing
- How well remote and in-office employees stay connected
Break responses down by team, department, and work location so you can see where culture diverges. A distributed team might report weak connection while a co-located team flags communication overload, and each needs a different fix. Start with the groups whose experience differs most from your organization’s core values, since that gap signals where trust is thinning.
Run the survey at consistent intervals, then compare scores to see whether your changes moved the needle. A baseline now and a follow-up in two quarters shows whether new policies improved daily experience or just looked good on paper. Keep the core questions identical each round, since consistent wording is what makes the comparison trustworthy.
