Occasion

When to run it

You notice the team becoming irritable, making more mistakes on simple tasks, taking sick leave, and working without their usual spark. It seems like some are working at their absolute limit while others have distanced themselves from shared goals. This survey will help you spot burnout risks early, before valuable employees decide to leave.

What it's made of

What it shows

The survey is divided into sections. For each one, you'll see separately what's already working and what's getting in people's way.

Emotional exhaustion
Lack of energy, recovery, and resilience to workload
Cynicism and detachment
Defensive distance from work, people, goals, or the meaning of tasks
Reduced accomplishment
Diminished sense of effectiveness, usefulness of contribution, and visible results
How we ask

What the questions look like

Below are real questions from this survey, one from each section.

  1. By the end of my workdays, I often feel like I have almost no energy left.

    What it checks
    Check whether workload is perceived as a recurring lack of energy, rather than a one-off peak or ordinary tiredness after a single hard day.
    Scale response
    from “Disagree” to “Agree”
    Open clarification
    What helps you preserve your energy by the end of the workday?
  2. My work tasks often seem to lack clear meaning.

    What it checks
    Understand whether the person retains a sense of meaning and value in their regular work tasks, or whether responses reveal a loss of connection to why this work is done.
    Scale response
    from “Disagree” to “Agree”
    Open clarification
    What helps you see meaning or value in these tasks?
  3. I often find it hard to see a concrete result of my work efforts.

    What it checks
    Check whether the person sees a clear outcome of their work, or whether their contribution becomes invisible to them and poorly connected to results.
    Scale response
    from “Disagree” to “Agree”
    Open clarification
    What helps you see a concrete result from your efforts?

The score shows where the tension is, and people’s words show why it arose. How these answers come together into an overall picture is explained in methodology.

What you get

What’s in the report

The report will show the risk level across three dimensions: how emotionally exhausted people are, whether they have become cynical and detached from work, and if they feel their efforts still bring results. You will see where the issue is workload, where it is recognition, and where it is a lack of recovery.

The report isn’t reduced to a single score. It shows growth points — recurring themes and work tensions visible across several people at once. Each one is compiled from anonymized summaries — individual responses don’t make it into the report. What happens to the report next is covered in the full workflow.
