Internal newsletters take real effort to produce, yet many teams have little idea whether employees read them or find them useful. Open rates only tell part of the story. This survey asks employees directly how they use the newsletter and what would make it worth their time.
It begins with reading frequency and time spent per issue, then moves to how relevant and valuable the content is and which sections people value most. Next come questions on preferred frequency, length, visual design, readability, and design changes that would help. The survey then measures whether the newsletter keeps people informed and connected, whether they have acted on something they read, and how likely they are to recommend it to colleagues, before closing with open suggestions, department, and tenure.
The questions adapt to each reader. Employees who read only occasionally, rarely, or never are asked why, while regular readers skip that question, and people who never read the newsletter are not asked how long they spend on each issue. Department and tenure come last and are optional, which lets you compare results across teams without making the survey feel personal at the start.
