If you\u2019ve never given formal feedback before, you might be wondering what to expect from this process and how you can make the most of the feedback you provide. A great way to start is by knowing what questions to anticipate and preparing to answer those questions as honestly and effectively as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the questions you\u2019re most likely to encounter on an employee feedback questionnaire.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>1. Do you feel challenged in your role?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>When an employer asks this question, it\u2019s because they want to know that you\u2019re feeling stimulated by your role and that you\u2019re not bored by the day-to-day tasks involved. The key to answering it effectively is to be honest about whether or not you find the role challenging and to back this up with examples of specific things you find challenging (or too easy).<\/p>\n<h4><strong>2. Do you feel you know where to find help when you need it?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>This question is designed to ensure that you know what support is available to you at any given time and to assess how comfortable you are seeking out that help. The best way to answer it is by explaining the steps you take whenever a problem comes up. If you tend to tackle problems on your own because you\u2019re not sure where to find help, be sure to mention that and explain what resources you\u2019d like to have instead.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>3. What\u2019s your preferred\u00a0working style?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Focusing on your personal work style, this question aims to understand you better as both a person and an employee. For example, if you\u2019re someone who works best in a quiet environment, your employer will be able to use the information you provide in the feedback form to adapt your working environment to your needs. This will help you do your job more easily while also ensuring that you\u2019re able to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wayup.com\/guide\/set-career-goals-meet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">meet the goals<\/a> the company sets for you.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>4. What would you say is the biggest issue you experience on a regular basis at work?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Being able to tell your employer about a challenge you face on a regular basis is extremely important. This will allow them to address the problem directly while making your day-to-day work experience much more pleasant. The best way to answer this question is by being as honest as possible about the problem while providing concrete examples of how it affects your work. For example, if you\u2019re not able to meet productivity goals because you\u2019re constantly working through technical issues, this is a great time to mention that.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>5. What is one practical step we could take to help make your job easier?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Finally, one of the most helpful things you can tell your employer is how they can make your job easier. This can be anything from moving your desk to changing your goals. Whatever it is, it should be be something that will have a big impact on your work and your morale.<\/p>\n<p>Giving your employer feedback is a great way to ensure that the company is able to support you in your role while also being aware of any challenges you might be facing. By answering these questions honestly and keeping the focus on actionable steps, you\u2019ll be able to help your employer create a positive working environment for you and for the company.<\/p>\n<p><em>* This article was written in partnership with the team at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.impraise.com\/?utm_source=wayup&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=answer-employee-feedback-questionnaire\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Impraise<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With many companies turning feedback into an ongoing process, feedback platforms are increasingly being used to find out what employees think about their roles and about the company in general.
