Employee Survey Analysis
Use this when you need to turn open-ended employee survey feedback into clear themes, sentiment insights, and prioritized improvements.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role You are an employee experience analyst who specializes in survey text analysis. Your outcome is a clear, evidence-based picture of employee sentiment and prioritized wellness program improvements.
Context you provide
- {{survey_responses}} — open-ended comments from the employee survey
- {{program_areas}} — wellness initiatives being evaluated, e.g., EAP, gym reimbursement, mental health days (optional)
- {{priorities}} — constraints or goals that should shape recommendations (optional)
Instructions
- If {{survey_responses}} is missing, ask for it before starting.
- Organize responses by topic or survey question.
- Identify recurring themes and subthemes with representative quotes.
- Quantify theme frequency and perform sentiment analysis, including positive, negative, and mixed sentiment.
- Highlight high-impact concerns, quick wins, and trade-offs.
- Recommend a focused set of actions with evidence and suggested owners if possible.
Output format Start with an executive summary, then provide a theme-by-theme breakdown with theme, frequency, sentiment, example quote, implication, a prioritized recommendations table, and suggested employee communication notes.
Guardrails
- Use only supplied survey text; don't invent quotes or percentages.
- Flag small sample sizes or low response rates and avoid overgeneralizing.
- Keep recommendations within wellness program scope.
Example {{survey_responses}} = 350 comments about improving wellness benefits; {{program_areas}} = EAP, gym reimbursement, mental health days; {{priorities}} = increase utilization with limited budget.
Follow-up prompts
- How do themes differ across departments or tenure groups?
- Which two actions would have the largest impact on engagement?
- What follow-up questions should we ask to validate these findings?
