Supervisor Performance Evaluation Survey
Measures how employees experience their direct supervisor's communication, fairness, support, and recognition. Built for HR teams and people managers running upward-feedback or 360 cycles. An AI follow-up interview digs into the specific moment behind the overall effectiveness score, surfacing concrete behaviors instead of generic ratings.
Sample questions
A preview of what’s in the template. Every question is editable before you launch.
Thinking about the last few months, how much do you agree with each statement about your supervisor?
- Communicates expectations clearly
- Gives constructive feedback on my work
- Treats team members fairly
- Supports my professional development
- Recognizes good work when it happens
- +1 more
Overall, how effective is your supervisor at helping you do your job well?
In the last 30 days, how often did your supervisor give you specific feedback on your work?
- Never
- Once
- A few times
- About weekly
- Almost daily
If your supervisor could only improve in one area, which would matter most — and which matters least right now?
- Clearer communication of goals and priorities
- More timely or constructive feedback
- Fairer distribution of workload
- Better conflict resolution
- More recognition for good work
- Being more available/responsive
- Stronger technical or job guidance
- More support for career growth
How likely would you be to recommend your supervisor's management style to a peer joining the team?
Probe the reasoning behind the respondent's overall effectiveness score by anchoring on one specific recent interaction with their supervisor — what happened, what the supervisor did or didn't do, and how it affected the respondent's work. If the score was very low (0-3), explore whether it reflects a pattern or a single incident and what would need to change. If very high (9-10), ask what the supervisor does that other managers should copy.
Is there anything specific you'd like your supervisor to start, stop, or keep doing?
How long have you reported to this supervisor?
- Less than 6 months
- 6 months to 1 year
- 1-3 years
- More than 3 years
- Prefer not to say
What team or department are you part of? (Optional — helps us spot patterns, not identify you.)
Thank you for your candid feedback! Responses are aggregated into a coaching report for HR and leadership so patterns can be addressed without singling out individual comments.

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
- Pairs a quick quantitative pulse (matrix agreement statements, overall effectiveness rating, recommend-likelihood score) with an AI follow-up interview that probes the reasoning behind the respondent's effectiveness score, surfacing specific behaviors instead of a flat number.
- Uses a max-diff question to force prioritization of the one area a supervisor should improve, avoiding vague 'everything is fine' feedback.
- Includes an optional short-text department field and tenure question so HR can segment coaching reports by team or reporting length without over-collecting identifying data.
- Opens and closes with plain-language chat messages that set expectations for anonymity/aggregation and confirm responses feed into a coaching report, which supports honest upward feedback.
Jotform
Internship Supervisor Evaluation Form TemplateThis is a static, fielding-ready form built specifically for interns to rate internship supervisors, so its audience is narrower than general HR/people-manager evaluation cycles. It's easy to deploy and customize via Jotform's form builder, but it's a fixed question set rather than a conversational, adaptive survey.
What it does well
- Purpose-built for the internship-supervisor relationship, which may better match that specific niche
- Backed by Jotform's mature drag-and-drop form builder and integrations
- Likely free or low-cost to start given Jotform's general pricing model
Where it falls short
- Fixed rating/checkbox questions with no adaptive AI follow-up to dig into the reasoning behind a score
- No voice AI interview option or automated per-response quality scoring
- Built for internship contexts specifically, not general upward-feedback or 360 manager review cycles
QuestionPro
21 Employee Feedback Survey Questions + Sample Questionnaire TemplateThis page is primarily a guide/article listing sample supervisor and employee feedback questions rather than a single ready-to-field template, so setup work is needed to turn it into an actual survey. It does offer breadth of question ideas across HR feedback topics, useful as reference material.
What it does well
- Broad question bank covering multiple HR feedback themes beyond just supervisor evaluation
- Backed by QuestionPro's established survey platform and analytics tooling
- Useful as a question-writing reference for teams building their own instrument
Where it falls short
- Presented as a blog-style question list/guide, not a single fielding-ready survey template
- No adaptive AI interview or voice AI to follow up on individual responses
- No visible automated per-response quality scoring or transparent AI prompt methodology
SurveySparrow
Sample Supervisor Evaluation Form TemplateA ready-to-use, conversational-style form template focused on supervisor evaluation, aligned with SurveySparrow's chat-like survey format. It's fielding-ready out of the box but relies on fixed question flows rather than dynamic follow-up based on individual answers.
What it does well
- Conversational, chat-style UI that can feel more approachable than a traditional form
- Ready to deploy quickly without much configuration
- Part of a broader SurveySparrow template library for HR use cases
Where it falls short
- No adaptive AI follow-up interview to probe the reasoning behind ratings
- No voice AI interview option or guided screen-share tasks
- No automated per-response quality scoring or published prompt transparency
Typeform
Supervisor Evaluation Form TemplateA polished, fielding-ready one-question-at-a-time form for supervisor evaluation, well suited to Typeform's clean UX. It captures structured ratings and open text but does not adapt its questioning based on what a respondent just said.
What it does well
- Clean, well-designed one-question-at-a-time interface known for good completion rates
- Easy to customize branding and question wording within Typeform's editor
- Simple to launch quickly for HR teams already using Typeform
Where it falls short
- Static question flow with no adaptive AI probing into individual answers
- No voice AI interview mode or guided task/screen-share capability
- No automated per-response quality scoring or transparent AI prompt disclosure
