This printable employee onboarding survey helps HR teams and managers hear from every new hire across 4 short questions, including a six-statement rating grid, so you can measure the first-weeks experience and act on it fast. The form prints on a single sheet and takes about three minutes to complete.

What this survey measures

The questions cover the parts of onboarding that shape how a new hire settles in: whether their role and responsibilities were clear, whether equipment and access were ready on day one, how well their manager and team supported them, whether the training prepared them for the job, and whether they understand how their work contributes to the company. A single overall rating gives you a headline score to track over time, and two open comment boxes capture what went well and what to fix for the next group of new hires.

How to use it on paper

Hand the survey to new employees at the end of their first week or their first month, either in an onboarding session or at their desk. Employees fill the checkboxes with a blue or black pen and write short answers in the comment boxes. Collect the completed forms and scan them in batches: PaperSurvey reads the checkbox answers with optical mark recognition and converts the handwritten comments to text automatically, so results appear in your dashboard without any manual data entry.

Customize this template

Add your company logo, reword the statements to match your onboarding program, or add questions about specific stages such as recruiting, IT setup, or buddy assignments. The paper layout reflows automatically as you edit, and every copy you print stays scannable.
