Q09
AI Interview

Probe the reasoning behind the respondent's likelihood-to-attend rating. If it's low, find out the specific barrier (timing, cost, inclusivity, past experience, disinterest in the format) and what single change would move them to attend. If it's high, find out which element they're most looking forward to and why. If they flagged low agreement on the inclusivity or accommodation statements, ask them to describe what happened or what they're worried about.

Thank you for helping shape this year's celebration! Your responses go straight to the planning team and will directly influence the format, budget split, and timing we choose.

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

  • Goes beyond a single attendance question by pairing an intent-to-attend rating with an AI follow-up interview that probes the actual reasons behind that rating, so planners learn the real barriers instead of guessing.
  • Covers format, timing, budget priorities (via a constant-sum budget split), and inclusivity through a mix of ranking, matrix, and multiple-choice questions rather than a flat list of static questions.
  • Includes optional department/tenure segmentation questions so planners can see if attendance drivers differ by team or seniority.
  • Opens and closes with plain-language chat messages that frame the survey's purpose and confirm responses will directly shape planning, which helps response quality and completion.

Jotform

Company Holiday Survey Form Template

A ready-to-field, static form template for gathering employee input on a company holiday event. It's built on Jotform's drag-and-drop form builder, so it's easy to customize fields and branding, but the questions themselves are fixed once published. There's no mechanism to dig deeper into a respondent's answers beyond what's explicitly asked.

What it does well

  • Quick to deploy and customize using Jotform's widely-used form builder
  • Likely integrates with Jotform's broader form ecosystem (notifications, storage, export)

Where it falls short

  • Static question set with no adaptive follow-up to explore why an employee gave a particular answer
  • No automated per-response quality scoring or AI-generated insights report
  • No published methodology or prompt transparency since there's no AI component

SurveySparrow

Company Holiday Survey Template for Employees

A conversational-style survey template aimed at employees, consistent with SurveySparrow's chat-like UI. It likely offers a smoother respondent experience than a plain form, but the conversational flow is still pre-scripted rather than dynamically probing individual answers. It's positioned as a template to launch as-is or lightly edit, not a fully adaptive interview.

What it does well

  • Conversational, chat-style question flow that can feel friendlier than a traditional form
  • Purpose-built for employee audiences, aligning with company culture surveys

Where it falls short

  • No adaptive AI interviewing to ask 'why' behind a rating or preference in real time
  • No voice AI interview option or guided screen-share tasks
  • No automated quality scoring per response or transparent AI prompt disclosure
