Return-to-Office Transition Experience Survey

Thanks for taking a few minutes on this! We want to understand how the return to in-person work is actually going for you — the good and the frustrating parts. Takes about 5 minutes and your honest answers help shape any adjustments to the policy.

In a typical week right now, how many days do you work from the office (or another company site)?

• 0 days (fully remote)
• 1 day
• 2 days
• 3 days
• 4 days
• 5 days (fully in-office)

How much do you agree with each statement about your current work arrangement?

Overall, how satisfied are you with how your return to in-person work has gone so far?

Rank these changes by how much they would improve your return-to-office experience, from most to least impactful.

1. More flexibility on which days I come in
2. Better commute support (parking, transit subsidy, shuttle)
3. Quieter, more private workspace options
4. More predictable manager and team schedules
5. Improved on-site amenities (food, childcare, wellness rooms)
6. Clearer reasoning for why the policy exists

If it were entirely up to you, how would you split your work time across these settings? (Should add up to 100.)

• In the office
• Working from home
• Another location (e.g., coworking space, client site)

What is the single biggest challenge the return to in-person work has created for you?

• Commute time or cost
• Childcare or caregiving logistics
• Lack of quiet, focused workspace
• Difficulty readjusting socially or mentally
• Health or safety concerns
• No significant challenges

If the current in-office requirement got stricter (more days required), how likely would you be to start looking for another job?

How supportive has your direct manager been in helping you navigate this transition?

Probe the reasoning behind the respondent's overall satisfaction score and, if they indicated any real flight risk from a stricter policy, treat that as the priority thread. Anchor on the specific challenge they picked (e.g., commute, caregiving, focus) and ask for a concrete recent example of when it caused a problem, what they did about it, and what specifically — not in general terms — would need to change for their satisfaction or flight risk to shift. If they report no challenges and high satisfaction, ask what has made the transition work well so it can be replicated for others.
