Understand wellbeing, belonging and engagement across your organisation. How people feel about their work, their colleagues and their workload affects everything else.
Accordo helps you ask about wellbeing and culture in a way people trust, in their own language, and turn what they tell you into clear priorities.
A culture and wellbeing survey asks employees about their wellbeing at work, their sense of belonging and how engaged they feel. It helps People and Culture, workplace and leadership teams see where people are thriving, where they are struggling and which actions would make the most difference.
When to run one:
Once a year: a full survey to understand wellbeing, belonging and engagement across the organisation.
Before and after a wellbeing initiative: check whether new support, policies or programmes are making a difference.
During major change: a short pulse to see how people are coping with restructures, moves or new ways of working.
When you see warning signs: rising absence, turnover or concerns raised by managers.
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: tell people in the introduction where they can get support, and how their answers will be used.
How would you rate your wellbeing at work at the moment?
How manageable is your workload?
How well are you able to switch off from work outside working hours?
Use a small set of consistent measures so you can compare groups and see change over time. Share what you learned and what you will do next, as it builds trust for the next survey.
Track how people rate their wellbeing and workload, and whether that changes after new support or policies.
Compare how different groups experience belonging and fairness, reporting only on groups large enough to protect anonymity.
Repeat core questions as a pulse survey to see how motivation and advocacy change through the year.
Build your survey from a template or the question library, and keep it short enough that people will finish it.
Use anonymous responses, turn on automatic translation, then share by link, email, Slack or Microsoft Teams.
Compare groups, follow participation as it comes in, and use AI-generated summaries to understand open-text answers.
Agree priorities with leaders and teams, share what you will do, then run a pulse survey to track progress.
Understand wellbeing and belonging across teams and locations, target support where it is needed, and show leaders whether initiatives are working.
Run culture and wellbeing studies for several clients from one workspace. Brand each survey for the client, reuse your own question sets, and import supported historical survey exports to compare with earlier studies.
Wellbeing and culture surveys depend on trust. Keep these in mind:
Make it anonymous: people are more honest about wellbeing and culture when they know their answers can't be traced back to them.
Protect small groups: only report on groups large enough that individuals can't be identified.
Signpost support: questions about wellbeing can raise difficult issues, so tell people where to get help.
Check sensitive wording in other languages: automatic translation makes surveys more inclusive, but have a fluent speaker review wellbeing questions.
AI summaries support your judgement: use them to find themes in open-text answers quickly, then read the comments behind the themes that matter.
Most cover overall wellbeing, workload, work-life balance, support from managers and the organisation, and one or two open questions. Keep it short and focused on things you can act on.
Yes, in most cases. Anonymous surveys usually get more honest answers on sensitive topics. Accordo lets you choose anonymous responses for each survey.
Run a full survey once a year, with short pulse surveys in between, especially during periods of change.
An engagement survey focuses on motivation and commitment to the organisation. A wellbeing survey focuses on how people are coping and feeling. Many organisations combine the two in one culture survey.
Yes. Accordo can translate your survey automatically so people respond in their preferred available language. Have a fluent speaker check sensitive questions.
