Why run an employee well-being survey?

Let’s be honest—ignoring employee well-being is a recipe for disengagement, burnout, and missed business opportunities. An employee well-being survey isn’t just a formality; it’s your direct line to the health of your organization.

Here’s why these surveys matter:

• Burnout is widespread: 42% of full-time desk workers globally report feeling burned out, with rates even higher for women (46%) than men (37%). If you’re not checking in on your team, you’re missing telltale signs before they become major issues. [1]

• Mental health is on everyone’s mind: While 74% of employees are okay with talking about mental health at work, only 58% are comfortable discussing their own struggles. Stigma is real unless you build safe feedback channels. [3]

• Well-being drives performance: The best companies for wellness enjoy 11% higher revenue per employee and 28% higher shareholder returns. If you’re not measuring well-being, you’re leaving value on the table. [4]

Ultimately, employee feedback surveys about well-being are crucial for improving retention, culture, and productivity. If you’re not running these, you really are missing out on actionable insights—and a happier, more resilient workplace.

Why AI survey generators change the game

Traditional survey tools can be a grind: endless question editing, boring templates, and “one-size-fits-all” logic. An AI survey generator flips the script, letting you build a tailored, conversational survey by simply describing what you need. Here’s how they compare:

With Specific’s AI survey generator, everything is streamlined: you type in what you want, and—using our best-in-class conversational design—you instantly get an engaging, effective survey. The experience works for both survey creators and employees answering the questions; it simply feels more like a genuine conversation.

Why use AI for employee surveys?

• Faster survey creation at expert-level quality

• Conversational experience that drives higher engagement and richer responses

• No knowledge gap—you don’t need to be a survey expert; the AI handles best practices for you

How to design questions that drive real insight

Bad surveys waste everyone’s time. For example:

• Bad: “Are you happy at work?”
  (Vague, hard to act on, likely to produce one-word answers.)

• Good: “Which aspects of your work environment help or hinder your well-being? Please share examples.”
  (Open, specific, invites honest feedback.)

Specific’s AI survey builder doesn’t just ask bland questions; it leverages expert phrasing and research-backed structure to avoid bias and encourage clear, meaningful responses. The AI is designed to spot vague wording or leading questions—so you don’t accidentally skew the results.

One actionable tip: Always ask for examples or suggestions instead of just yes/no responses. If you’d like more tips, see our in-depth resource on effective employee survey questions. Or, just let our AI handle the heavy lifting for you with the AI survey editor.

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply

Here’s where the magic happens: Specific’s conversational AI asks smart follow-up questions in real time, based on what each employee shares. This means you don’t end up with dead-end responses or cryptic feedback you have to follow up on later by email—saving you and your teammates a ton of time.

For example:

• Employee: “Sometimes I struggle with workload.”

• AI follow-up: “Could you tell me more about which tasks feel overwhelming or what would help balance your workload?”

Without these tailored follow-ups, you risk responses like, “It’s okay,” with no detail—making it impossible to prioritize or act on feedback. Try the automatic AI follow-up questions for yourself and notice the difference made by a true conversational survey.

These follow-ups turn the survey into a two-way conversation, creating a uniquely conversational survey experience that employees actually want to engage in.

How to deliver employee well-being surveys

You’ve built your survey—now, how do you get responses?

• Sharable landing page surveys: Just send employees a unique link by email or chat. This is perfect for gathering feedback from distributed teams after an all-hands meeting, running a company-wide pulse survey on well-being, or collecting opinions from remote and hybrid staff.

• In-product surveys: Deliver conversational surveys right inside an internal platform, HR tool, or employee dashboard. This is amazing for capturing actionable feedback at critical touchpoints—like after onboarding, training, or rollout of new well-being initiatives.

For most employee well-being surveys, sharable landing pages offer the broadest reach and flexibility, but in-product surveys are unbeatable for highly targeted, ongoing check-ins.

No more spreadsheets or endless staring at open-text answers. With AI survey analysis from Specific, you get instant summaries, automatic detection of topics, and the power to chat with AI about your survey responses—all in one platform. Just review your results, ask follow-up questions, and extract actionable insights in minutes, not days.
