Survey example: Employee survey about training and development

This is an example of an AI survey about employee training and development—see and try the example.

If you've ever struggled with creating effective employee training and development surveys, you know how tough it can be to get honest, actionable feedback.

At Specific, we focus on building tools that make collecting employee insights simple, engaging, and genuinely useful—always with the latest conversational AI.

What is a conversational survey and why AI makes it better for employees

Collecting real feedback from employees about training and development is notoriously tricky. Traditional surveys feel like homework, and respondents rarely give the detail you need. In today’s fast-paced workplaces, we want easy and quick ways for employees to share candid input—without endless forms.

This is where conversational AI survey examples shine. Instead of a static form, employees chat with an AI agent. The conversation feels natural, flexible, and relevant to their experience. Unlike manual survey creation, which is slow and rigid, an AI survey generator adapts its approach, creating a dynamic dialogue that gets richer insights every time.

Let’s look at how this works in practice:

Why use AI for employee surveys? You get the twin superpowers of speed and relevance: delivering surveys that adapt, ask smarter follow-ups, and engage employees in ways paper forms never could. This approach matters for organizations—companies investing in training and development see a 24% higher profit margin compared to those without formal programs. [1] Employees are far more willing to stay and grow in companies that make learning a priority—94% say it influences their retention. [2] So, running conversational surveys with Specific gives you better data and happier, more loyal teams.

Specific offers best-in-class user experience for conversational surveys, making the entire feedback process seamless for both survey creators and employees. Everything from building the survey to capturing candid insights feels smooth and intuitive.

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply

One standout feature of Specific’s AI conversational surveys is automatic follow-up questions based on employee responses. Unlike rigid survey forms, our AI listens to what’s shared and asks smart, in-the-moment clarifiers—just like a real interviewer would. This is a game-changer for capturing the full context you need on training and development.

Follow-ups save time: they reduce back-and-forth communications (like chasing people via email for missing details) and make each conversation count. Here’s how a conversation can go if you don’t have strong follow-ups:

• Employee: “The training was useful.”

• AI follow-up: “That’s good to hear! Can you share one specific skill or knowledge area from the training that you found particularly valuable for your daily work?”

If you skip follow-ups, you often get vague, unclear responses—leaving you guessing about the real impact of your development programs.

Try generating an employee training and development survey and experience how automatic follow-ups bring clarity and depth to your data. To learn more about how these smart follow-up questions work, see our feature deep-dive on automatic AI follow-up questions.

Follow-up questions make every survey a true conversation. It’s the reason these AI survey examples feel so engaging and relevant to both you and your employees.

Easy editing, like magic

Editing your employee training and development survey with Specific feels like magic. Need to tweak the tone, add a question, or update survey logic? Just type what you want in a simple chat, and the AI does all the hard work—instantly updating your survey with expert-level knowledge.

You make edits in seconds. No complicated menus or tedious forms. The AI survey editor works like a true co-pilot, freeing you up to focus on what insights you need, not the mechanics of how to build a survey.

Flexible delivery: landing page and in-product

Your employee training and development survey should fit seamlessly into how your employees work. Specific gives you two flexible delivery options:

• Sharable landing page surveys: Perfect for company-wide rollouts, remote teams, or sharing a unique link by email or internal chat. For example, send a quarterly training feedback survey to all staff across offices and remote locations, tracking responses in real time.

• In-product surveys: Run training feedback right inside an employee portal, HR system, or digital workspace. Great for embedding targeted short-form surveys after someone completes a new training module, boosting both participation and context.

Pick whichever method fits your employee workflow. If you want more info on each feature, explore our guides for landing page conversational surveys and in-product conversational surveys.

Instant AI survey analysis and actionable insights

Once responses start rolling in, Specific’s AI survey analysis tools kick in. No more wrangling spreadsheets or manually searching for trends. The platform summarizes open-text employee feedback, highlights key themes, and auto-builds actionable next steps for your learning and development programs. Features include topic detection and the ability to chat directly with the AI about results—making it effortless to extract value from every response and turn data into action.
