Its eight questions cover role clarity, tools, training, manager support, and feeling welcome. Adapt the questions to your onboarding process and create your survey with SurveyLegend. ## When to Use an Employee Onboarding Survey Use this questionnaire after employees have had enough time to try their everyday tasks. It focuses on their onboarding experience, so keep performance reviews separate. You’re asking what the organization can improve, not grading the new hire. **How are new hires settling into the team?** Ask about role clarity, support, and the first weeks at work. Create your own onboarding survey with SurveyLegend and start for free. ## 8 Employee Onboarding Questions to Ask Start with role clarity and access to work tools, then ask about training, support, manager expectations, and feeling welcome. The final two questions let new hires explain what helped and what should change. Keep the answer options for employees who have not received training or needed help yet; those experiences need to be distinguishable from a poor rating. Try the survey ## A little feedback. A clearer picture. Explore this 8-question example at your own pace. Every question is optional.

Replace general references to training or equipment with terms your employees recognize. Remove questions about activities that have not happened yet. If you run a first-week check-in too, focus that version on immediate access and introductions. For more guidance on planning check-ins across onboarding stages, read SurveyLegend’s [new hire survey](https://www.surveylegend.com/online-survey/employee-surveys/new-hire-survey/) guide. For a first-week version, ask: “Can you access the tools you need to begin your work?” Offer Yes, Partly, No, and I have not needed them yet. At 30 days, use the core questions to review the experience so far. At a later checkpoint, ask what support is still missing as responsibilities grow. Compare matching checkpoints across hiring groups; a first-week access question and a 90-day development question measure different experiences. ## Printable employee onboarding survey template Use this printable employee onboarding survey template to collect answers from people who prefer paper or are less comfortable with online forms. Hand it out during a first-month check-in, with time and privacy for new hires to complete it. Download the PDF, print the 8-question questionnaire, and provide copies for people to complete by hand. It includes the same core questions as the online template, with space for written answers. Online or on paper, SurveyLegend helps you give your audience a way to respond that works for them.

Missing tool access needs a setup fix; unclear priorities need a conversation with the manager. Treat “I have not received training yet” as a scheduling issue to investigate, not a low training score. For each recurring problem, assign someone to review it and set a follow-up date. Tell new hires what changed, and compare the same questions at the same onboarding checkpoint for later groups. A single response can reveal a problem, but it does not establish how common it is. ## Frequently asked questions about employee onboarding surveys ### Should an onboarding survey be anonymous? Decide how responses will be used before sending the survey. Tell employees who can see their answers. In a small hiring group, removing names may not prevent someone from being recognized. ### How often should I send it? Choose checkpoints that match your onboarding process. Keep repeated questions consistent when you want to compare the same experience over time, and add new questions only when they fit the stage. ### Is this an employee engagement survey? An onboarding survey focuses on the experience of joining your organization.
