Employee Onboarding Survey

Employee Onboarding Survey

Onboarding is a critical phase for new employees, shaping their early experience and setting the tone for long-term engagement. An effective onboarding survey helps capture feedback that can be used to improve how new hires are welcomed, supported and set up for success.

The Teamgage onboarding survey is designed to provide actionable insights that drive continuous improvement and help build a strong foundation for your employees.

Objectives of Onboarding Surveys

  2. Identify Training Needs
    Gather feedback on training effectiveness and highlight areas for improvement
  3. Evaluate Integration
    Measure how well new employees are integrating into their team and company culture
  4. Improve the Onboarding Process
    Collect insights to refine and enhance onboarding for future hires

Things to Consider

  1. Timing
    Send the survey within the first 1–3 months of employment to capture fresh and relevant insights
  2. Follow-up
    Act on feedback promptly and communicate any changes made as a result
  3. Regular Review
    Periodically review and update the survey to ensure it reflects current onboarding practices
