Review one department’s internal service—from request clarity and ownership to response time and outcome. Customize seven optional questions with SurveyLegend. Employees who requested or received a service from one named internal department during the past 90 days can use the example to identify one controllable handoff or service step for the department to improve next quarter.

Review the Service, Not the Employee

Use this template after employees have requested or received a service from one named internal department during the past 90 days. It turns a vague “department performance” topic into a specific service experience. For broader workplace listening, browse employee surveys .

When to Use This Template

Use it when a department such as IT, HR, finance, facilities or procurement wants feedback from recent internal service users. Ask about one defined period and one department. Keep employee appraisal, individual case investigation, financial output and urgent complaints outside this questionnaire.

7 Questions for This Template

Use these seven optional questions as a starting point. Respondent introduction: Answer about the named department and a request or service you used during the past 90 days. All questions are optional. Do not name coworkers, include confidential case details, or use this survey for an urgent complaint.

How to Customize the Questions

Replace “named department” with the real team and state what counts as a request. If a recurring organization-wide check-in is the task, use the employee pulse template. Preserve “not applicable” and “not sure” options, and never turn the results into an individual employee ranking.

Printable department service survey template

Use the printable department performance survey when colleagues who used a department's internal service prefer paper. It contains the same seven optional questions and answer choices. Provide a private return route and explain who reviews responses, especially in small teams. Paper responses require manual review or entry and do not automatically join online results.

How to Use the Answers

Review each step separately: submission clarity, first useful response, ownership, outcome and the step selected for review. Compare only groups large enough to protect confidentiality.

Frequently asked questions

Should this survey rate individual employees?

No. Keep the unit of analysis at the department-service level. Route conduct, safeguarding or formal performance concerns through the organization’s established process.

How soon should it be sent?

Send it while the request is still recent, then use the same time window in later rounds. A past-90-day window works when service volumes are moderate.

Can results compare departments?

Only with caution. Departments handle different tasks and service levels. First compare each department with its own prior results and examine the response context.

  20. Preview of the Career Development Survey Template demo showing its first question and answer choices Career Development Survey Template Employee Career growth can mean deeper expertise, a new responsibility, or a different direction. Give employees room to define it. Then ask what stands between that goal and a useful next step.
  21. Preview of the Employee Swag Form Template demo showing its first question and answer choices Employee Swag Form Template Employee A simple request form can save a long chain of messages about sizes and pickup arrangements. Start with the items you can actually offer, and make it easy for someone to decline or ask about an unlisted size.
  22. Preview of the Mentoring Program Survey Template demo showing its first question and answer choices Mentoring Program Survey Template Employee A friendly mentoring relationship and a useful development experience are not always the same thing. Ask about both the opportunity to meet and what the mentee can do with the guidance received.
  23. Preview of the Pre-Training Survey Template demo showing its first question and answer choices Pre-Training Survey Template Employee People can arrive at the same course with different starting points. Someone may understand a task but feel unsure doing it, while another may be eager to learn but have little time to practice. Ask about those needs separately.
  24. Preview of the Stay Interview Questions Template demo showing its first question and answer choices Stay Interview Questions Template Employee A stay conversation is most useful while there is still time to act. Give employees room to describe what works, what drains their energy, and which change would matter. Avoid treating their answers as a promise to remain.
  25. Preview of the 30-Day Employee Onboarding Survey Template showing its first question and answer choices 30-Day Employee Onboarding Survey Template Employee Use this checkpoint after the first month, when the employee has enough experience to identify gaps but there is still time to adjust onboarding.

  26. Preview of the Belonging and Inclusion Survey Template showing its first question and answer choices Belonging and Inclusion Survey Template Employee Use this template when a team wants practical feedback about the past 90 days.

  27.

SurveyLegend gives career services and recruiters a focused way to hear what happened at the tables, not just at check-in.
  28. Preview of the Career Interest Exploration Survey Template showing its first question and answer choices Career Interest Exploration Survey Template Employee Use this questionnaire at the beginning of a career conversation, before a specific occupational path has been selected. Answers can guide job shadows, informational interviews, projects or courses that let the respondent test an interest in context.
  29. Preview of the Career Path Clarity Survey Template showing its first question and answer choices Career Path Clarity Survey Template Employee Use this seven-question survey before talent-planning or development conversations. It separates interest in a direction from the clarity and access needed to act, so uncertainty is not mistaken for lack of ambition.
  30. Preview of the Collective Bargaining Survey Template showing its first question and answer choices Collective Bargaining Survey Template Employee Send the questionnaire before proposals are settled, with a clear explanation of how the bargaining team will review responses. A top priority is a starting point for discussion; it does not authorize a concession or guarantee that a proposal will appear in an agreement. SurveyLegend gives you a starting questionnaire to adapt to one bargaining unit.
  31. Preview of the Compensation Clarity Survey Template showing its first question and answer choices Compensation Clarity Survey Template Employee Use this template when employees need a clearer explanation of how an existing compensation process works. It focuses on information, timing, criteria and question routes. It does not ask employees to disclose their pay or turn a feedback survey into a pay-equity audit.
  32. Preview of the Organizational Transparency Survey Template showing its first question and answer choices Organizational Transparency Survey Template Employee Sending more updates does not necessarily resolve an information gap. Employees may receive a decision but still lack the reason, the effect on their work, or a place to ask questions. Use SurveyLegend to collect those experiences separately before changing your communication routine.
  33. Preview of the Consultant Onboarding Survey Template showing its first question and answer choices Consultant Onboarding Survey Template Employee A consultant can understand the assignment and still be blocked by missing access, unclear decision authority, or an unworkable handoff. This template gives a project owner a focused check-in after kickoff and before the first major deliverable. It reviews the working setup for one named project; it does not evaluate employment status, rewrite a contract, approve security access, or rate the consultant’s performance.
  34. Preview of the Employee Accommodation Request Form Template showing its first question and answer choices Employee Accommodation Request Form Template Employee An employee may know which task is difficult without knowing the right solution. Leave room for that uncertainty. SurveyLegend provides a starting questionnaire you can adapt to the organization’s actual request process, with an alternative contact route for people who cannot or prefer not to use a form.
  35. Preview of the Employee Award Nomination Form Template showing its first question and answer choices Employee Award Nomination Form Template Employee An employee award nomination form gathers comparable information about one eligible employee for one defined award. A useful form asks who is being nominated, which criterion applies, what the employee did and what evidence the review panel can examine.
  36. Preview of the Employee Complaint Form Template showing its first question and answer choices Employee Complaint Form Template Employee A complaint may concern a pattern rather than a single date, and the usual manager may not be the right person to receive it. Build the form in SurveyLegend around a clearly explained review route instead of assuming that every concern follows the same path.
  37. Preview of the Employee Safety Survey Template showing its first question and answer choices Employee Safety Survey Template Employee A procedure can look clear on paper while employees lack the time or equipment to follow it. This questionnaire gives a team a structured way to identify operational barriers and choose a follow-up. It is for routine feedback, not urgent incident reporting or a formal risk assessment.
  38. Preview of the Entry Interview Survey Template showing its first question and answer choices Entry Interview Survey Template Employee A new colleague arrives with experience you may not have discussed during recruitment. Give them room to describe useful strengths, questions, and learning preferences before filling their calendar with activities. Create the questionnaire in SurveyLegend and use it to prepare a two-way conversation.
  39. Preview of the Intern Feedback Survey Template showing its first question and answer choices Intern Feedback Survey Template Employee Interns need more than a desk and a list of tasks. A short check-in can reveal whether they know what they are learning, can reach a supervisor and have a useful next step when work is unclear.
  40. Preview of the Intern Program Feedback Survey Template showing its first question and answer choices Intern Program Feedback Survey Template Employee Interns need space to describe learning, work, supervision and feedback. Ask during or soon after one named placement, then separate program improvement from performance evaluation. This questionnaire is not an assessment of professional competence.
  41. Preview of the Job Search Priority Survey Template showing its first question and answer choices Job Search Priority Survey Template Employee Two job seekers may want the same job title for very different reasons. This SurveyLegend questionnaire gives a career adviser a starting point for a conversation about the conditions that matter to each person.
  42. Preview of the New Hire Orientation Survey Template showing its first question and answer choices New Hire Orientation Survey Template Employee Orientation is a starting point, not the whole onboarding experience. This SurveyLegend questionnaire asks what the session helped explain while new employees can still recall its content and delivery.
  43. Preview of the Organizational Culture Survey Template showing its first question and answer choices Organizational Culture Survey Template Employee Values printed on a wall cannot show how decisions are made or how people respond to mistakes. This SurveyLegend questionnaire asks for recent experience and practical examples that can guide a focused culture discussion.
  44. Preview of the Part-Time Job Survey Template showing its first question and answer choices Part-Time Job Survey Template Employee Two people working the same number of hours may want different schedules. This SurveyLegend questionnaire asks about employees’ preferences instead of assuming that every part-time worker wants either more hours or fewer commitments.
  45. Preview of the Peer Feedback Survey Template showing its first question and answer choices Peer Feedback Survey Template Employee Ask colleagues to reflect on one named collaboration, not a person’s character. Questions about communication, commitments and response to ideas make feedback easier to discuss and act on. This questionnaire supports development; it is not a validated performance score or a substitute for fair employment processes.
  46. Preview of the Professional Development Follow-Up Survey Template showing its first question and answer choices Professional Development Follow-Up Survey Template Employee Send these seven questions after participants have had a realistic chance to try the learning at work. The questionnaire focuses on application opportunities, environmental support and the next useful action during a defined four-week period.
  47. Preview of the Professional Development Needs Assessment Template showing its first question and answer choices Professional Development Needs Assessment Template Employee A professional development needs assessment gathers evidence before learning activities are selected. It separates a development need from a process, tool, staffing or policy problem that training alone may not solve.
  48. Preview of the Professional Development Survey Template showing its first question and answer choices Professional Development Survey Template Employee State the planning period and who will review the answers. Ask employees to choose one priority rather than rank an unlimited wish list. Explain which types of support are realistically in scope and that a response is not a promise of funding, promotion, certification or a particular program.
  49. Preview of the Recruitment Evaluation Survey Template showing its first question and answer choices Recruitment Evaluation Survey Template Employee Invite the hiring team after a specific role is filled or the search ends. Name the role family and recruitment period, but do not put candidates' names or personal information into this questionnaire. Ask each participant to answer based on the stages they observed. This is a process retrospective, not a candidate scorecard or a substitute for an applicant's perspective.
  50. Preview of the Remote Workforce Engagement Survey Template showing its first question and answer choices Remote Workforce Engagement Survey Template Employee Remote work changes how employees get answers, meet colleagues and protect focus time. SurveyLegend helps a people team adapt a seven-question check-in to the actual rhythm of its distributed team.
  51. Preview of the Return-to-Work Support Survey Template showing its first question and answer choices Return-to-Work Support Survey Template Employee Use this survey after an employee has returned and had time to experience the agreed plan. It asks about work arrangements and support, not diagnosis, treatment or fitness for work. Keep individual accommodation requests in the organization’s confidential case process.
  52. Preview of the Workplace Safety Culture Survey Template showing its first question and answer choices Workplace Safety Culture Survey Template Employee Use this survey to learn how employees experience everyday safety priorities during the past three months. It asks about supervisors, coworkers, reporting and training. Keep urgent hazard reporting and formal incident investigation in the organization’s established safety channels.
  53. Preview of the Employee Pay Satisfaction Survey Template showing its first question and answer choices Employee Pay Satisfaction Survey Template Employee “Salary satisfaction” can hide several different issues. An employee may accept the pay level but find raise criteria unclear, or trust the criteria while experiencing payroll errors. This original template separates those experiences so HR can identify a process to investigate. Browse [employee templates](https://www.surveylegend.com/survey-examples-templates/human-resource-and-employee-satisfaction-surveys/) when the task concerns another stage of work.
  54. Preview of the Sales Enablement Survey Template showing its first question and answer choices Sales Enablement Survey Template Employee A sales team may have a large library of materials but still struggle to find the right answer when a prospect asks. SurveyLegend helps leaders gather task-level feedback before changing content or training.
  55. Preview of the Sales Team Coordination Survey Template showing its first question and answer choices Sales Team Coordination Survey Template Employee Use the survey after a defined month of team selling, especially when several people contribute to the same account. A useful sales resource does little good if the next owner cannot find it or does not know an action is theirs. Adapt this SurveyLegend example to the coordination process rather than using it to grade individual sellers.
  56. Preview of the Employee Skills Self-Assessment Template showing its first question and answer choices Employee Skills Self-Assessment Template Employee A skills self-assessment gathers a person's experience and support needs for development. It is not a validated test, certification or hiring screen. Explore employee templates and employee recognition for related tasks.
  57. Preview of the Staff Availability Survey Template showing its first question and answer choices Staff Availability Survey Template Employee A preference is not the same as a time someone can actually work. Collect the period, available windows and scheduling preferences clearly so managers do not have to guess what a short reply means.
  58. Preview of the Staff of the Month Voting Form Template showing its first question and answer choices Staff of the Month Voting Form Template Employee This form captures a nomination and concrete example. A committee should verify eligibility and fairness; raw popularity does not establish performance. Related SurveyLegend material: employee recognition and employee templates.
  59. Preview of the Team Building Survey Template showing its first question and answer choices Team Building Survey Template Employee An enjoyable activity and a useful team conversation are not necessarily the same thing. This SurveyLegend questionnaire helps you evaluate the session against its purpose while making room for different participant experiences.
  60. Preview of the Training Course Evaluation Survey Template showing its first question and answer choices Training Course Evaluation Survey Template Employee Send this survey two to four weeks after a named multi-session workplace course. It asks about course objectives, practice, relevance, confidence, and the conditions for applying learning. Use the training needs template before choosing a course.
  61. Preview of the Training Pre Assessment Survey Template showing its first question and answer choices Training Pre Assessment Survey Template Employee A trainer cannot assume everyone has used the same tools or tried the same task. SurveyLegend helps course organizers ask seven practical questions in advance and choose examples that fit the group.
  62. Preview of the Virtual Training Survey Template showing its first question and answer choices Virtual Training Survey Template Employee A smooth video connection is only part of a useful training experience. This SurveyLegend questionnaire also asks whether participants could practice, contribute, and receive useful feedback.
  63. Preview of the First Week Onboarding Check-In Survey Template showing its first question and answer choices First Week Onboarding Check-In Survey Template Employee During the first five workdays, a missing login or unclear point of contact can stop a simple task. SurveyLegend helps a people team check those basics early and follow up before the first month has passed.
  64. Preview of the Work Environment Survey Template showing its first question and answer choices Work Environment Survey Template Employee Name the worksite or area and ask about the past four weeks. Explain who sees the results and how small groups will be protected. Offer a separate route for urgent hazards, maintenance requests and individual accommodations; routine survey comments should not be the only way to raise them. Invite on-site workers using different areas, and keep “did not work on site” visible.
  65. Preview of the Workplace Health and Safety Survey Template showing its first question and answer choices Workplace Health and Safety Survey Template Employee A safety message is only useful if people know what to do with it. SurveyLegend helps teams gather focused observations and decide which barriers deserve a closer review.
