How Employee Surveys Works

Creating an Employee Survey

Creating an employee survey is extremely simple and is similar to most survey tools (e.g., Google Forms, Microsoft Forms, SurveyMonkey). The main steps in the survey process include:

  1. Edit: Survey title, description, and anonymity (anonymous vs attributed).

  2. Build: Creating actual survey questions, including question types and options.

  3. Audience: Survey sender and recipients, plus automatic recipient reminders (audience settings).

  4. Wrap Up: Survey details and notifications, plus rewards for survey completions.

Survey Experience

One of the biggest reasons companies that use Employee Surveys see such a high survey completion rate is because the survey is sent inside Slack/Teams. Members are notified directly, making it almost impossible to miss. The notification sends information about the survey title, description, anonymity, and if there is a coin reward. This ensures a transparent member survey experience.

Viewing and Downloading Results

Survey senders can view results directly in the Matter web app or download an Excel file with all data, which makes it easy to share. Additionally, you can apply filters such as user groups and segments to gain deeper insights into the survey results. With Matter's Employee Surveys, you can view and download survey results in real-time, which is critical for making informed decisions.

To get started quickly, we offer 30+ survey templates backed by science so you can gather insights across various aspects of your organization. The templates cover a wide range of topics to ensure comprehensive feedback collection.
