Example employee survey questions on topics related to your organization's success:
Example Topics
Employee Engagement
Question
In the last six months, someone at work has talked to me about my progress.
Why It Works
How a manager coaches employees influences employees' perceptions of their future at your organization. If the manager helps the employee improve by providing opportunities that fit with the employee's talents, both the employee and the company benefit. This survey item, along with the others on Gallup's Q12 survey, made Gallup popular and known as one of the best employee engagement survey providers.

Why It Works
