Manager effectiveness survey FAQs:

Manager effectiveness surveys are great for getting honest feedback you can work with. But surveys should only make up a small part of a much bigger evaluation process.

So before drawing conclusions from your survey results, ask yourself this:

Are the individual team members progressing within their roles?
How’s the overall performance of the team?
Do employees stick around, or leave as quickly as they come?

Use this information alongside employee insights to accurately measure a manager’s effectiveness.

First things first, make sure you strike a balance between open and closed questions.

The long-text question type gives employees space to speak their minds and shine a light on specific issues. While ratings and opinion scales are ideal for collecting quantitative data for quick comparisons.

If you’re sending out manager effectiveness surveys every six months or so (which we’d recommend), this quantitative data will show you how much they’ve improved over time.
