Unlimited PTO sounds generous, but many companies find that people take less time off once there is no balance to use up. Without data, it is hard to tell whether the policy is working or quietly adding pressure. This feedback survey gives HR and people teams a structured way to hear how employees experience the policy day to day.
It opens with department and tenure so results can be compared across teams, then asks how comfortable people feel taking time off and roughly how many days they took in the past year. From there it covers hesitation and guilt, how clear and consistent the approval process is, how well teams cover for each other, and whether the policy seems sustainable. It closes with a preferred policy type, an overall rating, and space for open comments.
Follow-up questions only appear when they are relevant. People who say they feel guilty or hesitant are asked what holds them back, and choosing other there opens a short text box. Anyone who has concerns about the long-term sustainability of the policy is asked to explain them, while everyone else moves straight on.
Pairing the reported number of days with the comfort and coverage scores makes it easier to spot teams where people are underusing time off, so leaders can adjust expectations, set minimums, or fix coverage gaps.
