What is the hybrid & remote work survey form template?
Decisions about office days and remote work affect everyone's commute, childcare and focus. A survey gives leadership evidence rather than anecdotes: how people work now, what the office is really used for, and what arrangement would suit them.
This template covers current arrangement and commute, productivity and inclusion across locations, home setup and missing equipment, collaboration tools, wellbeing, and preferred arrangement down to which weekdays people would choose for the office.
It's anonymous by default, and each response is saved as a PDF in your FileIt vault with the answers also in a Responses table ready to export.

The hybrid & remote work survey form, page by page
1 How you work today
People choose fully on-site, hybrid or fully remote; hybrid workers give their average office days per week. Optional questions cover commute time, their area and whether caring responsibilities affect where or when they can work.
2 Productivity & collaboration
Six agreement statements on productivity at home, reaching colleagues, meetings across locations, feeling included, focus time and recognition. People say where they do their best focused work and what the office is most useful for.
3 Workspace & tools
Anyone not fully on-site rates their home setup — quiet space, desk and chair, internet, second screen and headset. Everyone can list equipment they still need, rates collaboration tools and the office itself, and can describe problems slowing them down.
4 Wellbeing
Five statements on switching off, feeling connected, isolation, manageable workload and taking breaks, then whether they work fewer, the same or more hours than when fully office-based.
5 Your preference
A required choice from fully on-site to fully remote. Unless they choose fully remote, they pick the weekdays they'd prefer in the office. A yes/no asks whether teams should agree common days, followed by what would make their arrangement work better.
