Workplace Climate & Psychological Safety Survey
Measures how safe, fair, and supported people feel in their day-to-day work — trust in leadership, psychological safety, workload fairness, and manager impact — for HR and people teams tracking team health between engagement cycles. An AI follow-up reconstructs the specific moment behind each person's rating instead of settling for a number on a dashboard.

Rating ScaleRequired
How would you rate your direct manager's contribution to team climate?
Range: 1 – 5
Min:Undermines itMax:Strengthens it
Q07
AI Interview
Reconstruct the specific recent moment that most shaped this person's overall climate rating: what happened, who was involved, and how it made them feel. If they rated psychological safety low, get a concrete example of a time they held back and ask what would need to change for them to speak up next time. If their overall rating was high, probe exactly what leadership or teammates do that creates that feeling so it can be reinforced elsewhere. Push past vague answers like 'it's fine' or 'it's stressful' to a specific incident.

Message
That's everything — thank you for the honesty. Your responses are combined with your team's to spot patterns in climate and safety, and the details you shared help leadership act on specifics instead of guesses.
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
- Includes a matrix of day-to-day agreement statements alongside single-item ratings, so you get both breadth (trust, fairness, manager impact) and a clean topline climate score
- Pairs a manager-contribution rating with an AI follow-up interview that reconstructs the specific recent moment behind each person's rating, turning a number into a real story
- Captures behavioral signal (how often someone held back an opinion in a meeting in the last 30 days) rather than relying only on attitudinal agreement questions
- Ends with a ranking of what would most improve team climate, giving HR a prioritized action list instead of just a diagnostic score
QuestionPro
Employee Job Climate Evaluation Survey TemplateA static, ready-to-field template focused on employee perceptions of job climate, built on QuestionPro's established survey infrastructure. It offers standard question types and reporting dashboards but no mechanism to probe individual responses further. Good for benchmarking scores across teams, less suited to understanding the 'why' behind any single rating.
What it does well
- Purpose-built template for employee/job climate rather than a generic engagement survey
- Backed by QuestionPro's mature survey platform with dashboard-style reporting
- Likely supports standard question types (rating, multiple choice) for quick deployment
Where it falls short
- Static question set with no adaptive AI follow-up to reconstruct the moment behind a low or high rating
- No voice AI interview option or guided screen-share tasks
- No published prompt-level methodology, so it's unclear how any qualitative follow-up (if present) is scored or analyzed

Sensitive Topic List Experiment (Item Count)
Measure behaviors people won't admit directly: the list experiment (item count technique) asks only HOW MANY statements apply — never which — so individual answers stay genuinely deniable while group comparisons reveal the true rate. The native question type randomizes control and treatment lists for you.

Customer Discovery Interview (Mom Test Style)
A voice AI discovery interview that follows Mom Test rules automatically: past behavior, not hypotheticals; specifics, not compliments.
