This employee engagement survey is a ready to print questionnaire for HR teams and people managers who want a clear read on how their workforce feels. It combines short demographic questions with rating grids across the areas that shape engagement, plus open text for honest feedback. The template runs about four pages, with 16 questions in total, and is designed to be completed anonymously.

What this survey measures

The survey opens with employee background questions such as age group, gender, ethnicity, marital status, work experience, job role, and department. It then moves through six agreement rating sections: career development, work engagement, compensation, relationship management, benefits, and work environment. Each section uses a five point Strongly Agree to Strongly Disagree scale. Three open ended questions close the survey, asking what people like most, what they like least, and what they would improve.

How to use it on paper

Print the survey and hand it out during a team meeting, an all hands session, or by placing copies in a shared break area for staff to complete privately. Ask respondents to use a blue or black pen and to mark one box per row. Collect the finished forms in a sealed box to protect anonymity, then scan or photograph them. PaperSurvey reads the marked boxes and handwritten comments automatically, so you get results without manual data entry.

Customize this template

Most teams swap in their own logo and colors, adjust the section wording to match internal language, and add or remove rating rows to fit their priorities. You can also change the scale labels or trim the demographic questions. The layout reflows automatically whenever you edit, so spacing and page breaks stay clean.
