When to use this 60-day onboarding survey

The second-month conversation should build on what the employee has already experienced. Focus on work they have attempted, where they needed help, and whether earlier concerns received follow-up. This is different from a first-month welcome and setup survey. Send the questionnaire before a check-in so the employee can reflect without having to answer on the spot. Our new hire survey guide explains the wider onboarding context.

How to customize your 60-day onboarding survey

Name the review period and adjust references to tasks for the role. A new colleague in a complex role may still need close guidance after two months; avoid wording that treats independence as an expected deadline. Keep the option for people who have not attempted a task or raised an earlier concern. Tell employees whether responses will be discussed with their manager and how follow-up will work. Do not describe a named check-in as anonymous.

Turn second-month feedback into a support plan

Separate missing knowledge from missing access, unclear priorities, and coordination problems. More training will not fix a blocked permission or an unanswered question. For each issue, agree on the next action, who will help, and when to check progress. Look for recurring obstacles across new hires, but avoid publishing comments that identify an individual in a small group. Keep the conversation about support rather than turning answers into a performance score.

Frequently asked questions

How is a 60-day survey different from a first-month survey?

A first-month survey checks the initial welcome, access, and role expectations. This version asks what happens when the employee uses that preparation in real work, including feedback and coordination with other people.

Should every employee complete it on day 60?

No. Use the two-month point as a planning guide. Adjust the timing for leave, part-time schedules, or delayed training so the person has relevant experience to discuss. Record the period you used if you compare responses.

Can this survey replace a manager check-in?

No. Written answers help you prepare for a useful conversation. Meet with the employee, clarify what support would help, and agree on follow-up. A survey response by itself does not show whether an employee can perform a task.
