Mental health can be a tough topic to approach – especially at work.
But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t all be doing our best to have honest, authentic and empathic conversations to break down barriers and support each other where we can. And surveying your team is an important way to start those conversations.
We’ve created a free questionnaire for you to use – with 25 workplace mental health survey questions to ask employees to better understand their wellbeing. It’s free to download (fill in the form on the right), or simply scroll down to read!
We hope it helps 💛
Impact of work questions
These questions will give you a good picture of how work is affecting your employees’ mental health.
Asking questions related to specific feelings and their work-life balance will tell you about their ability to manage a healthy balance and how likely they are to be suffering from symptoms of poor mental health or burnout.
It may be useful to add timeframes to some of these questions to see how your employees have been feeling over a period of time.
Management support questions
These questions will help you to understand how much support your employees are receiving from management in the organisation.
Once you have this information you can make changes to benefit employee experience and the levels of mental health across the employee base.
Company support questions
These questions will help you to understand how much support your employees are receiving from the company in general.
Depending on the results, you can make changes to support the mental health of your team such as developing more mental health resources or increasing the number of wellbeing policies, for example.
