All 9 Survey Questions

Nine questions designed to feel safe and non-threatening. Together they give HR and leadership a real picture of where people are struggling, without anyone having to put their name to it. Question 6, comfort asking for support, is the dimension most organisations avoid and most need to know.

Why Run This Separately

Not Just Another Engagement Question

Most organisations bundle one or two mental health questions into their annual engagement survey. This produces diluted data and reduces the psychological safety of responding honestly, staff know their mental health answer sits alongside questions about strategy and management that feel less sensitive.

Running this as a standalone anonymous survey sends a different signal: that mental health is taken seriously in its own right. That framing alone typically increases completion rates and produces more candid responses on the questions that matter most.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this employee mental health survey template free?
Yes. Free forever with no signup required. Up to 100 responses free. Pro ($19/month) allows 10,000 responses and a response timeline, useful for tracking whether scores improve quarter over quarter after interventions.
Should employee mental health surveys be anonymous?
Yes, always. Research consistently shows employees give three times more honest responses about mental health when surveys are fully anonymous. VoteGenerator stores no names or identifying information by default, which employees can verify before responding.
How is this different from an employee wellbeing survey?
A general wellbeing survey covers broad topics like physical health and work-life balance. This survey goes deeper on psychological safety, help-seeking comfort, and stress sources, dimensions specifically designed for sensitive mental health conversations. The questions will produce meaningfully different data.
How often should I run a workplace mental health survey?
Quarterly is the most effective cadence. Monthly pulse checks using three or four of the key questions can supplement the full run. Running it once without a follow-up plan limits its value. The data is most useful when compared across time periods.
Can I edit the questions for our organisation?
Yes. Every question is fully editable. Adjust language to match your organisation's tone, add questions about a current change such as a restructure, or remove anything that doesn't apply. Most HR teams are done in under two minutes.
What happens when I reach 100 responses?
VoteGenerator will notify you as you approach the limit. Pro ($19/month) gives you up to 10,000 responses, a response timeline showing how scores shift over time, and CSV export for HR reporting.
