Why use this template
Understand the management experience in context
Ask about communication, role clarity, support, recognition, development, fairness, trust, and the everyday behaviours that shape an employee's relationship with their manager.
Make it safer to share constructive feedback
Explain why feedback is being collected, how responses are handled, what is optional, and how identifiable or aggregate results will be used before inviting participation.
Use themes for responsible leadership development
Review patterns with the appropriate people leaders, support managers through established development processes, and route serious concerns through the correct independent channel.
From template to working form
How to put it to work
- 01
Choose the feedback themes
Tailor questions to the leadership behaviours, support, communication, clarity, development, inclusion, and practical improvements your organisation can genuinely review.
- 02
Set clear privacy and follow-up expectations
Be transparent about who can see responses, whether feedback is aggregated, how small groups are protected, and how employees can raise individual concerns safely.
- 03
Review and act through the right process
Use patterns to inform leadership support and development, assess individual matters fairly, and keep formal grievance, safeguarding, or misconduct routes separate from survey review.
Good to know
Frequently asked questions
What should a manager feedback survey ask?
Ask about communication, trust, role clarity, support, recognition, fairness, development, inclusion, decision-making, and the practical behaviours that would make the management experience better.
Should manager feedback be anonymous?
Choose the approach that fits your privacy and development process. Aggregated feedback can support candour and protect small groups; identifiable feedback should have a clear reason and transparent safeguards.
Who should see the survey results?
Limit access to the people leaders and owners who genuinely need it. Explain the reporting approach before participation and protect small groups from being identifiable through results.
Can this survey handle a grievance or serious concern?
No. Clearly direct urgent safety, discrimination, harassment, retaliation, misconduct, or formal grievance concerns to the appropriate independent reporting or support process instead of waiting for survey review.
