of your next ask.

Questions to consider for your employee performance survey

Use these questions as suggestions when editing your copy. Keep the ones that fit your purpose and add any details your process needs.

  • Which responsibilities or goals are being reviewed?
  • What examples show effective work or areas to improve?
  • What support would help in the next period?

How to use the responses

Use the responses alongside relevant work evidence and the employee's own view. Agree on specific expectations and revisit progress rather than reducing the review to a single rating.

How to customize and share this template

  1. Define the role, review period, and skills or responsibilities the questions cover.
  2. Ask for observable examples alongside ratings. Keep the criteria clear and give the respondent space to explain relevant context or support needs.
  3. Decide who will review the answers and discuss them with the person involved. Use the review to agree practical next steps and a time to revisit progress.

Frequently asked questions

Should performance surveys include personal opinions about the employee?
Focus on observable work and behavior relevant to the role. Concrete examples and clear expectations make the discussion more useful and fairer than vague personal labels.
Can I customize this survey template?
Yes. Choose Use this template to make your own copy in Youform. Edit the questions and colors, review the whole flow, then share a link or embed it on your website. See Youform plans for advanced features.
Should a review rely on ratings alone?
No. Ask for examples and consider the role, agreed goals, and circumstances. A rating is a prompt for discussion, not a complete explanation of someone's work.
What should happen after the review form is completed?
Discuss the answers, agree specific development or support actions, and set a follow-up date. Keep decisions and responsibilities clear so the review leads to something useful.
