Company Restructuring Impact Survey

Organizational restructuring is never easy—but understanding how your team is experiencing the change can make all the difference between a smooth transition and ongoing confusion. This Company Restructuring Impact Survey template helps HR teams, leadership and operations managers collect honest, structured feedback on how recent reorganizations are landing across the business.

Whether you've merged departments, shifted reporting lines, introduced new roles or realigned teams, this survey covers the critical areas that determine whether restructuring delivers the intended benefits: role clarity, reporting line effectiveness, cross-departmental collaboration, communication quality and overall morale.

Why use this template?

Restructuring often happens quickly, and leaders can be left guessing whether the new structure is working in practice. This survey gives you a clear, confidential channel to:

• Assess role clarity post-change: Are people clear on their responsibilities, decision-making authority and who to go to for support?
• Evaluate reporting line effectiveness: Do new manager relationships feel productive? Are employees getting the direction and support they need?
• Measure cross-departmental collaboration: Has the reorg improved or hindered teamwork between functions?
• Identify communication gaps: Did employees feel informed during the transition? Do they understand the "why" behind the changes?
• Track morale and confidence: How is the team feeling about the organization's direction, and where do they need more support?

By collecting this feedback early and often, you can spot friction points, address confusion before it becomes entrenched and make evidence-based tweaks to the new structure while there's still time to course-correct.

What's included

This template includes professionally designed questions covering:

• Demographic context (department, tenure, seniority level)
• Role clarity and understanding of new responsibilities
• Reporting line effectiveness and manager support
• Cross-functional collaboration and team dynamics
• Communication quality during and after the reorg
• Overall confidence in the new structure
• Open feedback for suggestions and concerns

The survey uses a mix of rating scales, multiple-choice, matrix questions and open-ended feedback fields to balance quantitative insights with qualitative context. Conditional logic can be added to tailor follow-up questions based on initial responses, and the survey is fully customizable to reflect your org's unique structure and change priorities.

Who is this for?

This template is ideal for:

• HR teams and People Ops leaders managing change and tracking employee engagement through restructuring
• Executive leadership and department heads who need visibility into how the reorg is landing on the ground
• Organizational development and internal comms teams responsible for change management and employee experience
• Business operations and project managers overseeing post-reorg integration and workflow optimization

Whether you're a startup scaling fast, a mid-size company realigning around new priorities or an enterprise rolling out structural changes across multiple teams, this survey helps you stay connected to the employee experience and make data-driven adjustments.

How Paperform makes restructuring surveys better

With Paperform, this survey isn't just a checklist—it's a professional, branded experience that encourages honest, thoughtful responses. Use the doc-style editor to add context, empathy and clarity to every section. Apply custom themes to match your company's visual identity, so the survey feels like a natural extension of your internal culture rather than a generic Google Form.

AI Insights can automatically summarize open-ended feedback, surfacing common themes around role confusion, communication gaps or collaboration challenges without manually reading hundreds of responses. You can also use conditional logic to ask targeted follow-up questions (for example, if someone reports low role clarity, ask what specific areas feel unclear).

Responses flow directly into Google Sheets, Airtable, Slack or your HRIS via native integrations, and you can use Stepper (stepper.io) to automate next steps—like routing urgent concerns to HR, sending follow-up surveys to specific teams or triggering action plans based on sentiment scores.

Because Paperform is SOC 2 Type II compliant, you can reassure employees that their feedback is handled securely and confidentially, which is critical for getting honest answers during sensitive organizational changes.

Make restructuring a two-way process

Organizational change works best when employees feel heard, informed and involved. This survey template turns a top-down restructuring into a collaborative process, giving your team a voice and giving leadership the insights they need to refine, support and improve the new structure.
