Listening Made Easy: Free Surveys in openHR
28 Jul 2026
Running a business isn’t just about numbers and compliance - it’s about people. The best way to understand your team is to ask them directly, and openHR is more than just free payroll, we also make surveys effortless with built‑in surveys. No third‑party tools, no hidden costs, just simple feedback collection that helps you stay connected.
Why Surveys Matter
Employee voice is the foundation of a healthy workplace - they are the frontline that deals with customers, suppliers, coworkers, and management. Whether it’s onboarding impressions, training evaluations, or quick morale checks, surveys give you insights that spreadsheets and guesswork never will. Honest feedback helps you make better decisions, build trust, and strengthen company culture.
How Surveys Work in openHR
- Flexible distribution: Send surveys via email or share them with a unique link.
- Anonymity option: Encourage candid responses by allowing employees to remain anonymous.
- Integrated records: Responses are stored securely, ready when you need them.
- Always free: Unlike other platforms, surveys are included with the free payroll at no extra cost.
Practical Use Cases
- Customer service insights: Ask frontline staff how customer interactions are going, what recurring issues they see, and where processes could improve.
- Supplier relationships: Gather feedback from employees who liaise with suppliers - are deliveries reliable, are terms fair, do systems align smoothly?
- Team collaboration: Pulse surveys on coworker dynamics can highlight bottlenecks, communication gaps, or areas where teamwork shines.
- Management support: Anonymised surveys let employees safely share whether they feel backed by leadership, or if policies need adjustment.
- Onboarding & training feedback: New hires and trainees can provide fresh perspectives on what worked and what didn’t.
- Exit interviews: Capture honest insights from departing employees without the awkwardness of face‑to‑face conversations.
