Company Hackathon & Innovation Day Feedback Survey

Improve Your Company's Innovation Events with Data-Driven Feedback

Hackathons and innovation days are powerful tools for fostering creativity, collaboration, and employee engagement—but only when they're designed with your team's needs in mind. This Company Hackathon & Innovation Day Feedback Survey template helps you collect honest, actionable feedback from participants and non-participants alike, so you can refine your approach and build a culture of innovation that actually works.

Whether you're running your first hackathon or looking to improve recurring events, this template covers the full employee experience: event frequency preferences, project selection processes, time allocation, implementation follow-through, and the barriers that keep people from participating. Use it to understand what's working, identify gaps in your innovation program, and ensure your investment in creative time translates into real business outcomes.

Built for HR, Innovation Teams, and Internal Comms

This survey is ideal for HR managers, innovation leads, internal operations teams, and executive sponsors who want to measure engagement and ROI on innovation initiatives. It's flexible enough to work for tech companies, agencies, consultancies, financial services firms, and any organisation that runs structured innovation events or wants to start.

Paperform makes it easy to customise the questions, add conditional logic to tailor the experience based on whether someone participated, and apply your brand styling so the survey feels like a natural extension of your internal comms. Responses flow into your preferred tools—Google Sheets, Notion, Slack, or your project management platform—so your team can act on insights quickly.

Automate Follow-Up and Close the Loop

Once you've collected feedback, use Stepper to automate what happens next. Route responses to the right stakeholders, trigger follow-up emails thanking participants, surface top suggestions to leadership, or create tasks in your project tool to address common concerns. Closing the feedback loop shows employees their voice matters—and that makes future participation even stronger.

Get started with this template and turn your hackathons and innovation days into high-impact, employee-loved programs that drive real change.
