Unlike standard surveys that ask every employee the same list of questions, our AI adapts its questions based on relationship quality. For positive relationships, it identifies specific management practices that create success. For challenging relationships, it explores particular areas where support is needed. This approach meets respondents with relevant questions and helps create a playbook of effective management strategies while identifying specific areas for management training and development.

The template excels at uncovering broad employee sentiment about the company as well as specific aspects of company culture that matter most to employees. Through targeted questions and AI-powered follow-ups, you'll learn exactly what employees value about your culture and what needs improvement. The AI also groups similar feedback points together, helping you identify which aspects of your culture resonate most strongly and which areas might be causing friction or disengagement.

Aftercare will categorize feedback from this survey template, allowing you to quickly see trends in employee sentiment. You an also easily dig into specific responses for specific details. You'll receive clear insights about management effectiveness, culture health, and employee engagement. For example, you might learn that while 70% of employees feel supported by their managers, there's a clear desire for more structured career development conversations, which can be taken to the next leadership meeting to improve these points.

Yes, by identifying early warning signs of disengagement. When employees provide feedback about their likelihood to recommend the company as a workplace, our AI explores the specific factors influencing their response.

This early insight allows you to address concerns before they lead to resignations.

This employee engagement survey template was born from real-world experience and frustration with the limitations of traditional surveys. As Y Combinator-backed founders, the Aftercare team has run hundreds of surveys across different industries and consistently saw the same problem: standard surveys couldn't dig deeper when respondents gave interesting or unexpected answers.

We tested and refined this template through extensive real-world use, learning from each iteration. Our experience working with businesses of all sizes (and experiencing surveys from many companies ourselves) helped us understand exactly what factors to dig into. The result is a survey template uses AI to actively uncover the deeper employee engagement insights that traditional surveys miss. It's the survey we always wished we had – and now it's here to help your business retain and develop exceptional talent.
