Employee Survey Tip 7: Question Order

When it comes to the order of questions, you should avoid placing several questions of the same type one after another. Varying the question types breaks up the questionnaire and helps keep participants focused.

In terms of content order, you should work your way gradually from general questions towards specific ones, not the other way round.

Example: The question “How satisfied are you with internal communication?” should be asked first, and only then “How satisfied are you with our intranet?”.

Logic and coherence should also be considered. Do not ask about satisfaction with weekly communication workshops before asking whether such workshops are attended at all.
