This printable manager feedback survey upward template gives team members a confidential way to share honest feedback about their manager across 9 questions on one form. It works for annual reviews, 360-degree feedback cycles, or a quick pulse check, and it prints on a single sheet.

What this survey measures

The survey captures upward feedback on the behaviors that shape how a team experiences its manager: clear and open communication, helpful and timely feedback, support for growth and development, everyday respect, clear expectations, and recognition of good work. An overall rating question gives you a simple score to track over time, and two open comment boxes let employees describe what their manager does well and what could change.

How to use it on paper

Hand out the forms in a team meeting or one-on-one, or leave copies in a shared area with a sealed drop box to protect anonymity. Employees fill the checkboxes with a blue or black pen and write their comments in the boxes provided. 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 manual data entry.

Customize this template

Add your company logo, reword the statements to match your leadership values, or add or remove questions to fit your review process. The paper layout reflows automatically as you edit, and every copy you print stays scannable.
