When to use this 90-day onboarding survey
Share the survey near the end of your planned onboarding period. Some employees will be ready to take ownership of regular tasks; others will still be learning parts of the role. Ask about both experiences without assuming everyone follows the same timeline. Keep the review separate from a formal employment decision. When you want to understand the wider workforce beyond new hires, our employee engagement survey template serves a different purpose.

How to customize your 90-day onboarding survey
Include the role, review period, and the responsibilities already discussed with the employee. Keep the questions about ongoing support even if the onboarding schedule is ending. Replace general development language with the next realistic opportunity, such as supported practice on a new task. Explain who can access the answers and how they will inform the check-in. If you also conduct a formal appraisal, explain its separate process rather than combining the two silently.

Plan support beyond the first three months
Look for differences between having a responsibility assigned and feeling clear about what it involves. Use examples from the employee's work to explore those differences. Agree on a manageable next objective and name the support available. At the program level, group suggestions about what onboarding should introduce earlier or cover differently. A positive overall experience does not prove job competence, and a request for more support is not a failure.
Frequently asked questions
Is a 90-day onboarding survey a probation review?
No. A 90-day onboarding survey gathers feedback for planning. It does not determine probation outcomes or replace your organization’s review process. Keep employment decisions and their criteria separate from onboarding feedback.
What should happen after the survey?
Discuss the answers with the employee, confirm ongoing responsibilities, and agree on the next development step. Carry unresolved setup or training issues into the support plan rather than closing them simply because three months have passed.
Should I repeat the earlier onboarding questions?
Repeat a small number only when you need a meaningful comparison and can preserve the wording. This version adds a different task: planning ongoing ownership and development after the introductory period.
