Why This Template

Satisfaction vs Engagement — and Why It Matters

Job Satisfaction

How happy employees are with specific aspects of their job — pay, balance, management. The employment deal. You can have satisfied employees who are not particularly motivated.

Employee Engagement

Emotional commitment and discretionary effort — whether employees go beyond the minimum. About passion for the work. Satisfaction is a prerequisite, not the same thing.

If satisfaction is low, engagement initiatives won't work. Fix the structural issues — compensation, balance, management — before investing in engagement programs. Run this survey first to know where you actually stand.

Question 7 ("How likely are you to still be working here in 12 months?") is the strongest early warning signal for voluntary turnover. Low scores here require immediate attention regardless of other scores.

FAQ

Yes. Free forever, no signup required from you or respondents. The free plan allows up to 100 responses per survey. For teams over 100 people, Pro ($19/month) allows up to 10,000 responses.
What's the difference between satisfaction and engagement?
Satisfaction measures how happy employees are with specific job aspects — pay, balance, management. Engagement measures emotional commitment and discretionary effort. Satisfaction is a prerequisite for engagement. If satisfaction is low, engagement programs won't fix it — address the structural issues first.
