Why sense of belonging surveys matter for your team

If you’re overlooking regular employee Sense Of Belonging surveys, you’re leaving critical engagement and performance on the table. We’ve seen that only 20% of employees who don’t feel they belong are engaged at work, compared to 91% who do—a stark three and a half times difference [1]. That means missed surveys are missed opportunities to boost engagement and productivity.

• Fostering a sense of belonging pays off—research shows it can improve job performance by 56% [1].

• Employees feeling excluded are 75% more likely to take sick days [1], which hits not just morale but the bottom line.

• Since disengaged employees now cost the global economy roughly $8.8 trillion (9% of GDP), every effort counts [2].

The benefits go beyond just data. A thoughtful survey about workplace belonging helps to uncover hidden issues that hurt retention and team culture. If you’re not running these, you’re missing a chance to create an environment where people actually want to contribute and stay for the long haul.

The edge of using an AI survey generator

Creating surveys by hand can feel like a slog—brainstorming questions, worrying about bias, and making sure nothing is missed. That’s where an AI survey generator comes in. Instead of wrangling spreadsheets or templated forms, you describe your needs, click a button, and let the AI do the heavy lifting. Tools like Specific’s conversational AI not only generate expert-level question sets, but also make the whole process feel remarkably interactive and painless.

Here’s a quick look at how AI stacks up:

• AI finds the right words—avoiding jargon and boosting response quality [10].

• Specific’s conversational survey experience engages employees as if they’re chatting with a real researcher, not just checking boxes.

Designing questions that actually reveal insight

The quality of your Sense Of Belonging survey stands or falls on the questions you ask. At Specific, we leverage both expertise and AI to craft clear, actionable questions. Here’s a quick example:

• Bad: “Do you like your team?” (Vague, hard to act on.)

• Good: “Can you describe a time when you felt included or excluded by your team? What happened?” (Open, specific, actionable.)

Our AI survey generator avoids loaded language and clarifies intent, helping you collect feedback that’s precise and useful—whether you’re looking to improve onboarding, improve inclusion, or just want to understand the everyday employee experience.

Actionable tip: Phrase questions to elicit stories, not just ratings. Ask “What made you feel included at work recently?” rather than “Do you feel included?” It triggers deeper, richer responses.

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply

Ever get survey responses that are so brief they’re unusable? Specific’s AI survey generator fixes that. It asks smart, relevant follow-up questions on the spot—just like a seasoned interviewer would. This saves you endless back-and-forth emails and unlocks insights you’d otherwise miss.

• Employee: “I don’t always feel like I fit in here.”

• AI follow-up: “Thanks for sharing. Can you recall a specific situation that made you feel this way?”

Without follow-ups, you often get stuck with unclear comments like “It’s fine” or “Sometimes,” which don’t help you pinpoint causes or solutions. The AI’s real-time probing uncovers deeper context and keeps the feedback process natural and non-intrusive. Try generating a survey now to see how intelligently the AI guides conversations and collects depth in just a few messages.

Follow-ups make the survey a conversation—transforming it into a conversational survey experience.

Flexible delivery: landing page or in-product

Your Sense Of Belonging survey’s delivery method matters. Specific lets you:

• Sharable landing page surveys: Instantly share a link with your team, making it simple to reach remote, hybrid, or distributed employees, or run a confidential, standalone survey where responses feel private and safe.

• In-product surveys: Embed the survey right inside your HR portal or employee app. Get real-time, contextual feedback while employees interact with their everyday tools—ideal for a pulse check or rolling survey during onboarding or after major change.

For most Sense Of Belonging surveys, using a sharable landing page is especially effective—the experience feels confidential, and you can engage employees who may otherwise hesitate to open up in a work tool. But for targeted, timely feedback in digital workplaces, in-product delivery is a game changer.
