Sabbatical and Extended Leave Policy Survey

Make Your Sabbatical Program Work for Your Team

A well-designed sabbatical policy can boost employee retention, prevent burnout, and attract top talent—but only if it's built around what your people actually need. This Sabbatical and Extended Leave Policy Survey helps HR teams and business leaders understand employee awareness, concerns, and preferences around extended time off.

Use this template to assess whether your team understands eligibility criteria, gauge interest in sabbatical programs, identify barriers like job security worries, and gather input on ideal leave durations and application processes. The insights you collect will inform policy design that genuinely supports work-life balance and long-term engagement.

Built with Paperform, this survey is fully customizable—adjust questions to match your company culture, add conditional logic to dig deeper based on responses, and choose between a clean, professional layout or a conversational Guided Mode experience. Responses flow directly into your preferred tools via integrations with Google Sheets, Slack, or your HR platform, and you can use AI Insights to summarize themes across hundreds of responses in seconds.

Whether you're launching a new sabbatical program, refining an existing policy, or simply exploring employee sentiment around extended leave, this template gives you a fast, professional starting point that feels thoughtful and on-brand. Perfect for HR managers, people operations teams, and forward-thinking business leaders invested in employee wellbeing.
