Surveys
Design and run employee surveys that surface honest feedback and help you understand how your team is really feeling.
Welcome to the Surveys section of the Manager Toolkit blog. Design and run employee surveys that surface honest feedback and help you understand how your team is really feeling. Whether you are a new manager learning the ropes or an experienced leader sharpening your craft, the articles below offer practical, opinionated guidance you can apply with your team this week.
We write from the perspective of working managers, not theory. Every article is rooted in the day-to-day reality of running a team: the tradeoffs, the awkward moments, the things nobody told you when you got promoted. You will find templates, scripts, checklists, and honest takes on what works and what does not.
Browse the 4 articles below, or explore the full blog index for more topics. If you find something useful, consider trying Manager Toolkit, the free toolkit built specifically for people managers.
