Respondent context
Segment without identifying unnecessarily.
Collect only context the team will analyze; keep contact details optional unless follow-up is requested.
- Department or function
- Work setting
- Contact permission

Which IT services have you used recently?
Rate each selected service
How often does technology interrupt work?
Which improvement matters most?

Support quality
Tools and access
Priority follow-up
Identify the service before asking for satisfaction; one overall score cannot show whether Wi-Fi, hardware, access, or support needs attention.
Step 1
Scope
choose services, audience, and reporting period
Step 2
Measure
collect usage, satisfaction, and impact
Step 3
Route
separate urgent follow-up from trend feedback
Step 4

turn recurring friction into an IT roadmap
Better IT feedback
Overall IT satisfaction mixes hardware, access, networks, applications, and support. Identify the service first, then connect experience to work impact.
Show follow-up questions only for services selected, so each employee rates relevant tools without seeing a long generic list.
Use consistent scales for reliability, ease, communication, and satisfaction. Pair scores with service and usage context.
Ask whether contact is wanted. Route unresolved problems to follow-up and retain non-urgent comments for planning.
Four survey moments
Match questions to the event or planning decision, and keep each survey focused.
Benchmark reliability, access, and interruptions across teams.
Check resolution, effort, communication, and follow-up needs.
Find unused tools, duplication, integration gaps, and training demand.
Assess task improvement and remaining adoption barriers after a change.
Survey workflow
Build around specific services and distinguish isolated incidents from recurring issues.
Name the planning event, employee groups, locations, services, and reporting period.
Label consistent scales and add follow-ups for selected services, unresolved issues, or contact requests.
Test with different roles and confirm each sees relevant, answerable questions.
Review by service, compare consistent measures, and assign chosen improvements an owner and review date.
Choosing an approach
The best method depends on whether you need a quick signal, a reusable document, or structured feedback that connects a service experience to business impact.
Field guide
Use six compact sections, keep identification optional when practical, and separate planning feedback from active support requests.
Respondent context
Collect only context the team will analyze; keep contact details optional unless follow-up is requested.
Service usage
Ask what was used during a clear period, then branch into relevant device, software, network, access, or support questions.
Experience measures
Keep scale direction consistent, label endpoints, and offer not applicable instead of forcing misleading scores.
Work impact
Distinguish annoyances from work stoppages by asking about frequency, affected tasks, and available workarounds.
Open feedback
Ask which tool, service, or process should improve first and what outcome is needed. Warn respondents not to share credentials.
Follow-up and routing
Request contact consent, route unresolved incidents to support, and group enhancement ideas for planning.

Practical answers for IT leaders, service desk managers, and operations teams gathering staff feedback.
It gathers structured staff feedback about devices, software, networks, access, support, and other IT services. Surveys reveal patterns and priorities; support tickets request help with current issues.
Ask about services used, frequency, reliability, ease, usefulness, and support. Include work interruptions, affected tasks, access or training gaps, the top improvement, and follow-up preference.
Keep ticket follow-ups to a few questions. An annual survey can be longer, but conditional paths should hide unused services. Pilot it and remove questions that do not guide action or analysis.
Optional identification can support candid planning feedback, while contact details help investigate specific problems. Ask permission for follow-up and explain data use. Do not promise anonymity if collection settings identify respondents.
Measure resolution, request effort, communication, helpfulness, and overall experience with consistent labeled scales. Add an open question for unresolved needs and keep this follow-up focused on the support interaction.
Group results by service, theme, frequency, and work impact. Review ratings with comments, separate incidents from recurring themes, assign selected actions an owner and review date, and reuse scales for comparison.
Yes. Makeform provides unlimited free forms and responses for generating, editing, publishing, and repeating IT surveys. The paid tier removes the Makeform badge.
Yes. Start with department, work setting, and services used, then show relevant sections conditionally. Keep a few common questions so results remain comparable across groups.
