Use template

The Office Space Improvement Survey helps you understand how employees really experience the workplace, from comfort and ergonomics to break areas and lighting. It surfaces concrete pain points and ideas that can guide practical, budget-conscious upgrades to the office. Use it to turn everyday employee observations into a clear improvement roadmap.

What the “Office Space Improvement Survey” survey measures

This survey measures perceived comfort, ergonomics, and productivity impact of the office through star ratings, while open-text questions capture specific issues and barriers employees face. The multiple-choice question ranks which office elements (furniture, lighting, break areas, soundproofing, greenery) matter most, and the single-choice question gauges how safe employees feel voicing improvement ideas, revealing potential gaps in internal communication.

Who the “Office Space Improvement Survey” template is for

This template is built for HR managers, office managers, and facilities teams looking to plan renovations, reorganize layouts, or simply check in on how the current space is working for staff. It's equally useful for growing companies moving into a new office, hybrid workplaces reassessing shared spaces, or any organization wanting employee input before investing in office changes.

How to adapt the template to your needs

You can adjust the wording to focus on a specific area, such as only break rooms or meeting spaces, or add questions about noise levels, temperature, or desk arrangements if those are known pain points. Add branching logic so that low star ratings on comfort or ergonomics trigger a follow-up open-text question asking for details, and remove the productivity question if you're only interested in physical comfort rather than performance impact.
