Employee Resource Group (ERG) Participation Survey

Building a thriving workplace culture means creating spaces where every employee feels valued, heard, and connected. Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are one of the most powerful ways to foster belonging, support diverse communities, and drive meaningful change within your organization—but only if you're listening to what your people actually want and need.

This Employee Resource Group (ERG) Participation Survey template helps HR teams, DEI leaders, and people operations professionals gather actionable insights on how employees engage with affinity groups, what events resonate most, and where future leaders might emerge. Whether you're launching your first ERG or scaling an established program, this survey gives you a clear picture of participation trends, interest areas, and opportunities to deepen impact.

Built with Paperform's intuitive editor, this template includes conditional logic to personalize the experience based on current participation levels, multi-select options for affinity group interests, rating scales for event feedback, and open-ended questions to capture authentic employee voices. You can customize the branding, adjust questions to match your organization's ERG structure, and embed the survey directly into your intranet, Slack channels, or email campaigns.

Once responses start coming in, use AI Insights to quickly identify common themes, sentiment trends, and emerging requests across hundreds of submissions—turning raw feedback into strategic recommendations for your ERG roadmap. Connect submissions to your HRIS, Slack, or project management tools via Stepper (stepper.io) to automatically route feedback to the right ERG leads, trigger follow-up emails, or update dashboards in real time.

This template is perfect for mid-sized companies and enterprises committed to inclusive workplace cultures, HR teams running quarterly or annual ERG check-ins, and DEI practitioners looking to measure engagement beyond headcount. With Paperform, you get the flexibility to make your survey feel approachable and on-brand, the power to automate what comes next, and the insights to prove ERGs are making a real difference.
