Workplace Social Events & Team Building Survey

Build Better Team Connections with Employee Social Event Feedback

Understanding what your employees actually want from workplace social events is key to creating a culture where people feel connected, valued, and engaged. This Workplace Social Events & Team Building Survey helps HR teams, office managers, and leadership gather honest feedback about event frequency, activity preferences, budget alignment, and participation barriers—so you can plan events that people actually want to attend.

Whether you're an HR manager looking to boost morale, an office manager planning quarterly gatherings, or a team leader trying to strengthen remote team bonds, this survey template gives you the insights you need to make informed decisions about your social events program.

What you'll learn from this survey

This template captures feedback across the key dimensions of workplace social programming:

• Event frequency preferences – Are you hosting too many events, not enough, or hitting the sweet spot?
• Activity type interest – Which types of team building and social activities resonate most with your team?
• Budget appropriateness – Are you spending wisely, or could funds be better allocated?
• Participation barriers – What's stopping people from attending, and how can you remove those obstacles?
• Virtual event effectiveness – For hybrid and remote teams, are online events delivering value?

The survey includes rating scales, multiple choice questions, and open-ended feedback fields to give you both quantitative data and qualitative insights.

Built for modern workplaces

This template works for offices of all sizes—from 10-person startups to mid-market companies with distributed teams. It's particularly valuable for:

• HR teams measuring employee engagement and satisfaction
• Office managers planning quarterly or annual social calendars
• Team leaders looking to strengthen department connections
• Remote work coordinators evaluating virtual team building effectiveness
• Culture committees gathering input on what works and what doesn't

Paperform makes feedback actionable
