Find out how hybrid working really works for your people. Ask employees where they work, what each place is best for and what gets in the way.
Accordo gives you hybrid working survey questions, multilingual responses and AI summaries of open-text feedback, so you can shape policy and space on evidence, not assumptions.
A hybrid working survey asks employees where they work, which tasks suit the office or home, and what helps or hinders working together in person. The results show the gap between how people are expected to work and how they actually do, so you can decide on office days, space and booking rules with evidence.
When to run one:
Before a policy review: set or update office days based on how people actually work.
Before changing office space: understand what the space needs to support before you add, remove or redesign it.
After a new rule: check how new office days, desk booking or meeting-room rules are landing.
Every quarter or half-year: track how hybrid working is settling in with a short pulse survey.
Use these as a starting point. In Accordo you can build your survey from a template or the question library, then edit, remove or add your own questions. Tip: keep the core questions the same each time you run the survey, so results can be compared over time.
In a typical week, how many days do you work from the office, from home and from somewhere else?
How many days a week would you prefer to work from the office?
What most influences the days you choose to come in? (e.g. team days, meetings, commute, caring responsibilities)
A useful hybrid working survey tracks a small set of consistent measures, so you can compare teams and see change over time. Run a full survey once, then a shorter pulse every three to six months, and share results with everyone who took part.
Compare how many days people actually spend in the office with how many they would choose, by team, location or role. The gap shows where policy and reality pull apart.
Find out which work people do best in the office and which at home. This shows what office days should be for, and what the space needs to support.
Track satisfaction with office days, finding a place to work and meeting with remote colleagues. Run the same questions as a pulse survey to see whether changes are making a difference.
Build your survey from a template or the question library, and add conditional logic so people only see questions that apply to them.
Choose anonymous or identifiable responses, turn on automatic translation, then share by link, email, Slack or Microsoft Teams.
Compare teams, locations or roles, follow participation as it comes in, and use AI-generated summaries to make sense of open-text answers.
Agree priorities, make changes, then run a recurring pulse survey with the same core questions to track progress.
Get the evidence to set office days, plan space and decide on booking rules. Compare buildings, floors and teams, run pulse surveys after each change, and show leadership what is working.
Run hybrid working studies for several clients from one workspace. Brand each survey for the client, reuse your own question sets, and import supported historical survey exports so earlier results sit in the same reporting.
A survey is only as good as its design and the people who answer it. Keep these in mind:
Who responds matters: if one team or location barely takes part, its results may not reflect how people there really work. Check participation by group before drawing conclusions.
Survey feedback is one source of evidence: for decisions about space, read it alongside booking data and occupancy figures.
Check sensitive wording in other languages: automatic translation makes surveys more inclusive, but have a fluent speaker review questions about wellbeing or culture.
AI summaries support your judgement: use them to find themes in open-text answers quickly, then read the comments behind the themes that matter.
Benchmarks need like-for-like questions: comparisons with earlier surveys or wider benchmarks only work where the questions match and comparable data is available.
Around 10 to 15 closed questions plus one or two open questions usually works. Most people can finish that in under ten minutes, which helps response rates. Pulse surveys can be shorter, using just your core tracking questions.
Run a full survey before you set or review your hybrid policy, then a short pulse every three to six months. Keep the core questions the same so you can compare results over time.
Anonymous responses usually give more honest answers, especially about wellbeing, managers and policy. Accordo lets you choose anonymous or identifiable responses for each survey.
Yes. Accordo can translate your survey automatically so people respond in their preferred available language. Have a fluent speaker check sensitive questions.
Yes. Accordo lets you compare groups such as teams, locations and roles, and track the same measures across repeat surveys.
