Ask what specifically happened this month in that area, whether it's a new development or an ongoing pattern, and what would need to change for it to improve next month.

Thanks for checking in! Your responses feed into a monthly wellbeing summary that helps us spot patterns early and offer support where it's needed — individual answers are never shared without your consent.
What’s included
AI follow-ups
Adaptive probes on open-ended answers that pull out detail a static form would miss.
Attention checks
Built-in safeguards against rushed answers and low-quality respondents.
AI-drafted copy
Wording, ordering, and branching written by the AI — tuned to your research goal.
Auto report
Themes, quotes, and a plain-English summary write themselves once responses come in.
How it compares
We reviewed the closest templates from other survey tools. Here’s what they do well — and where this template goes further.
Why this template
- Combines a fixed monthly pulse (happiness score, satisfaction across work, relationships, health, and growth) with an AI follow-up interview that automatically probes whichever area the respondent flagged as most influential that month.
- Captures month-over-month change directly (via a 'how has it changed' question) rather than requiring HR to manually diff static reports.
- Includes a stress-coping frequency question and a resources/support question, giving people teams both a happiness score and actionable context in one 4-minute flow.
- Ends with a long-text 'what would make next month better' prompt plus an auto-generated monthly wellbeing summary, so open-ended feedback isn't left unanalyzed.
SurveySparrow
Monthly Employee Check-In Template | Maximize Employee ProductivityThis is a fielding-ready template covering a similar monthly employee check-in use case, positioned around productivity as much as happiness. It's a static question set that HR can send on a recurring basis. No mention of adaptive follow-up questioning based on individual responses.
What it does well
- Purpose-built recurring monthly check-in template for employees
- Framed around productivity, which may appeal to teams wanting a business-outcomes angle
- Ready to deploy without custom question design
Where it falls short
- Fixed question set with no adaptive AI probing into whichever area is driving the score
- No stated per-response quality scoring or transparent prompt methodology
- No indication of voice-based interview option or guided screen-share tasks
QuestionPro
Happiness Survey For Employees Questions + Sample Questionnaire TemplateThis page reads as a sample questionnaire and question bank for employee happiness rather than a single ready-to-send recurring pulse, useful as a reference for question ideas. It covers similar ground (happiness, satisfaction) but is presented as static content to copy from rather than an interactive, adaptive instrument.
What it does well
- Offers a broad bank of sample happiness-related questions for customization
- Established survey platform with standard reporting/analytics tooling
- Useful as a question-writing reference for teams building their own survey
Where it falls short
- Presented as a question list/guide rather than a turnkey recurring monthly template
- No adaptive AI follow-up that digs into the specific area driving happiness up or down
- No automated per-response quality scoring or transparent AI prompt visibility
