Employee benefits survey template: The 10 questions to ask

Building an employee benefits package that caters to your people’s needs is crucial to ensuring your workforce is happy, productive and engaged in their roles. This is key to not only retaining your best performers, but also in attracting talent going forwards. 

But it’s important to remember that this is an ongoing process, there’s no ‘set and forget’ programme you can implement that will deliver value to your people all year round. 

With our research revealing that only 54% of UK employees believe their company offers a good level of employee benefits which are tailored to their individual needs, you’ll need to periodically review your offering and identify any areas for improvement, whether that’s in the quality of your benefits or in how you’re communicating them to your people. 

Employee feedback is key to making sure your package is hitting its mark and that your people are seeing its value, and a survey is one of the most effective ways to tap into your employee voice. But it can be difficult to know what questions to ask in order to gather insightful feedback.  

That’s why we’ve put together an employee benefits survey template, with 10 ready-to-use questions designed to help you dive into what really matters to your people.  

Whether you’re kicking off your first employee benefits survey or shaking things up with a new approach, these questions will guide you in understanding your employees’ needs and preferences. This way, you can develop a benefits package that truly supports and engages your team. 

By using these questions, you can take a huge step toward really understanding your employees’ perspectives on their benefits package. The insights you gain will not only help you see what your team values but also where you can make meaningful improvements.
