Onboarding Survey Completion Rate

Onboarding survey completion rate is the share of surveys sent to new hires that were completed. Around 75% to 80% is ideal; 75% to 100% rates Excellent.

Written by Brett Hellman

Your completion rate is the percentage of all onboarding surveys sent to new hires that were completed. For example, if 100 surveys were sent and 96 were completed, the completion rate would be 96%. Higher rates indicate stronger engagement and more reliable data for decision-making.

Who can use this: Workspace Owners and Admins on any paid plan with the Surveys add on, or on any plan during the free trial. Works the same for Slack and Microsoft Teams workspaces.

For an overview of the whole feature, read the Onboarding Surveys Guide.

Good (55 to 74%)

Description: A considerable portion of the workforce engaged with the survey, reflecting a notable level of involvement and awareness.

Moderate (35 to 54%)

Description: An average level of completion suggests room for promoting the survey's importance and boosting engagement in future initiatives.

Low (0 to 34%)

Description: Limited engagement from the workforce indicates potential barriers or a lack of awareness about the survey, which requires further examination and action.
