### Support Your Team Through Organizational Change

Workforce reductions are among the most challenging transitions any organization faces. While much attention is given to departing employees, the remaining team members—often called "survivors"—face their own unique set of challenges: increased workload, survivor's guilt, uncertainty about the future, and questions about leadership decisions.

This **Company Layoff Survivor Survey** template helps HR teams, leadership, and organizational development professionals gather critical feedback from employees who remain after a reduction in force. Understanding how your team is feeling, what concerns they have, and where communication may have fallen short is essential for rebuilding trust, maintaining productivity, and preventing further attrition.

#### Why This Survey Matters

The weeks and months following a layoff are make-or-break for organizational culture. Employees are watching leadership closely, evaluating whether they feel secure, valued, and informed. This survey provides a confidential channel for honest feedback across key dimensions:

 - **Morale and emotional impact** following the reduction
 - **Workload distribution** and concerns about being stretched too thin
 - **Communication transparency** and trust in leadership decisions
 - **Job security perceptions** and future outlook
 - **Support needs** and resources to help the team move forward

By collecting this data through Paperform, you can analyze responses using **AI Insights** to quickly identify themes, sentiment trends, and priority areas for leadership action. The form's conditional logic allows you to ask follow-up questions based on specific concerns, ensuring you gather nuanced feedback without overwhelming respondents.

#### Designed for Sensitivity and Anonymity

This template is structured with empathy and psychological safety in mind. Questions use appropriate language for a difficult moment, and the form can be configured for anonymous submission to encourage honest responses. You can customize the success message to acknowledge employee input and outline next steps for how feedback will be used.

Whether you're an HR director, people operations manager, or executive leader navigating post-layoff recovery, this survey gives you the structured feedback you need to make informed decisions, allocate support resources, and demonstrate that employee voices matter during times of change.

Paperform's enterprise-grade security (SOC 2 Type II compliant) ensures sensitive employee feedback is handled with the confidentiality and data protection your team deserves. After collecting responses, you can route feedback to appropriate stakeholders using **Stepper** (stepper.io) workflows, trigger follow-up actions in your HRIS, or generate summary reports for leadership review—all without manual data handling.
