How to set up your employee survey platform in 5 steps

Setting up your employee survey platform

Getting started with employee surveys is easier than you might think. With Oneteam you can publish your first survey in just 5 simple steps.

‍

Step 1: Pick a template or start from scratch

In your surveys dashboard you’ll see an overview of all surveys you’ve already created. From here, you can:

• Select one of our ready-to-use templates.
• Or simply click Create and build your own survey from the ground up.

Step 2: Choose your question types

Design your survey in minutes using any question type you like - multiple-choice, sliders, text fields, and more. You’ll see a live preview on the right so you know exactly what the survey will look like before sending it out.

Step 3: Decide when to send

You’re in control of the timing. Send your survey immediately, schedule it for later, or make it ongoing. For example, you can automatically trigger a satisfaction survey for employees after they’ve reached a certain number of days in service.

‍

Step 4: Select your audience

Use the audience selector to send your survey to the entire workforce or a specific group. You can also decide whether the survey should be anonymous or not. Perfect if you want completely open and honest feedback.

Step 5: Send and start analyzing

Once you hit send, employees receive a notification in their app and can complete the survey wherever they are. You’ll start gathering real-time feedback instantly, with built-in analytics that help you spot patterns, identify improvements, and take action to boost the employee experience.
