Use this survey to understand where your team might be struggling — not just with tasks, but with fundamental human needs that drive motivation and performance.

📊 Interpreting Results:

Use the responses to spot which need levels are weakest across the team:

Weak Area Focus Here

Low in Mastery Provide training, clearer expectations, reduce overload

Low in Trust Boost psychological safety: listen, share openly, normalize mistakes

Low in Belonging Increase connection, rituals, shared goals

Low in Recognition Give feedback, appreciate effort, call out wins

Low in Vision Reconnect to purpose, share the “why,” invite ownership
