Employee Wellbeing Survey

The Employee Wellbeing Survey is a ready-to-launch questionnaire that measures how your people are really doing, both physically and mentally. Its 25 questions ask whether physical health allows employees to work effectively, whether their work environment supports physical comfort, and whether they are able to take regular breaks through the day. It also asks whether people feel mentally healthy and able to cope with the demands of their job, whether work-related stress is affecting their wellbeing, and whether they feel comfortable raising mental health concerns with a manager or HR. Run it to establish a wellbeing baseline, before or after launching support programmes, or on a regular cadence to catch problems early.

Wellbeing shapes energy, focus, absence, and retention, yet much of it stays hidden until it becomes a bigger problem. This survey brings it into view. Because it asks directly about physical capacity, comfort, breaks, and the value of health benefits, alongside mental health, work-related stress, and psychological safety around speaking up, you can see where strain is building and whether your support is reaching people. The results help you decide where to invest in benefits, workspace, and workload, and where managers need support to have wellbeing conversations. A regular reading also lets you track whether the changes you make are actually improving how people feel.

The 25 questions group into two broad areas. Physical wellbeing comes first: whether physical health supports effective work, whether the environment such as desk setup, lighting, and noise supports comfort, whether people can take regular breaks, whether health and wellness benefits like gym membership and health insurance meet their needs, and whether they feel physically energised at the end of a typical day. Mental wellbeing follows, covering whether people feel mentally healthy and able to cope with job demands, whether work-related stress is negatively affecting them, and whether they feel comfortable discussing mental health concerns with a manager or HR. Together they give a rounded view of health at work.

Copy or download all 25 questions and paste them into Google Forms, Typeform, or whichever survey tool you use, with no signup required. Keep responses anonymous, which matters especially for the mental health and stress questions, so people feel safe answering honestly. Set a clear closing date and include supportive wording and links to available help. Review results by theme and by team, then act on the areas of highest strain and let people know what you are changing.
