Employee Four-Day Workweek Trial Retrospective

Evaluate Your Four-Day Workweek Trial with Confidence

Considering a permanent shift to a four-day workweek? This employee retrospective form helps you gather the honest feedback and data-driven insights you need to make an informed decision.

The four-day workweek is one of the most discussed workplace innovations of the decade, with trials across industries showing promising results for employee wellbeing, retention, and productivity. But every organization is different—what works for a tech startup might not work for a customer-facing service business, and the only way to know is to ask your team directly.

This template captures everything you need: self-assessed productivity metrics, work-life balance improvements, customer satisfaction observations, scheduling challenges, team collaboration impacts, and most importantly, whether your employees want to make the change permanent.

Why Paperform for Employee Surveys?

Paperform makes it easy to create on-brand, engaging employee surveys that people actually want to complete. The doc-style editor lets you mix context paragraphs, rating scales, open feedback fields, and conditional logic to create a thoughtful retrospective that respects your team's time while gathering actionable insights.

Use conditional logic to ask follow-up questions based on responses—like diving deeper into scheduling challenges only for those who experienced them. Set up custom success messages to thank participants and explain next steps, and use AI Insights to automatically summarize hundreds of open-ended responses into clear themes your leadership team can act on.

Once responses come in, export to Google Sheets for analysis, trigger Slack notifications to keep HR informed, or use Stepper to automatically compile results into a board presentation or stakeholder report. With Paperform's workflow capabilities, you're not just collecting feedback—you're turning it into decisions that shape your company's future.

Whether you're an HR leader at a forward-thinking SMB, a People Ops team at a remote-first company, or a founder testing new ways of working, this template helps you run a professional, thorough retrospective that gives every voice a chance to be heard.
