Office move questions that show what the new space still needs
Ask employees how the move went and how the new office works, from moving day to the commute. Each question below comes with when to ask it and what the answer tells you.
What office move survey questions tell you
Office move survey questions ask employees how the move was run and how the new space works day to day: whether people knew their date in time, what went wrong on moving day, how the desks, rooms and kitchen hold up and how the commute changed. A move happens rarely and costs a lot, and the answers tell facilities what to fix while the budget and the contractors are still around.
Ask two to four weeks after the move, once people have worked a normal week in the new office, and keep the moving day questions for a short survey in the first few days. Pick six to eight questions; a QR code on the kitchen wall or in meeting rooms reaches people where they sit, and the link works in your own email or chat.
Each written answer is read as it arrives and filed under a category and a theme from your own list, such as noise or meeting rooms, with a sentiment and an urgency. Give each fix an owner in the inbox and post what was fixed, so people see the space getting better.

The 14 office moves questions, with when to ask each
Grouped by what they tell you. Use them as they are or change the wording.
How the move was handled
Rate the move, check the notice people had and list what went wrong, so the next move starts from a better checklist.
- 01Stars
How well was the office move handled?
Five stars for the whole move. Results shows the average and the share who rated 4 or higher; ask it first, so you have a score to compare with the next move or expansion.
- 02Yes / No
Did you know your move date in good time?
A yes or no on notice of the move date. Select No in Results to see whether those employees also had more trouble on moving day.
- 09Date
When did you move to the new office?
The day each person moved, on a calendar. Useful when teams moved in waves; select a date in Results to compare the first wave with the later ones.
- 07Multiple choice
What went wrong on moving day?
Lets people tick every moving day problem. Results shows a bar per option, a ready checklist for the next move; keep Nothing so a smooth move shows too.
- 14Text
What should we do differently at the next office move?
An open question for lessons from this move. Keep the answers with the moving day problems as a brief for whoever plans the next move.
The new office itself
These questions rate the space people now work in and name what is missing, which gives facilities a priority list.
- 03Matrix
Rate the new office on each
Rates desks, meeting rooms, quiet space and the kitchen in one grid. The heat map shows which part of the new office falls short, and the row averages give facilities an order to work in.
- 11Multiple choice
How much desk space do you have now?
Desk space on a five-step scale from far too little to far too much. Results shows the share of each; a large share on the too little side is worth fixing before more teams move in.
- 06Text
What is missing in the new office?
An open question about what is missing. Answers name concrete things, from lockers to a printer, and the themes in Results show which requests come up most often.
- 08Big scale
How settled do you feel in the new space?
How settled people feel in the new space, from 1 to 10. Ask it again a month or two later; Results compares each card with the period before, so you can see the score rise as fixes land.
The commute and office days
Ask how getting in has changed and how often people plan to come, since a longer commute can explain fewer office days and a lower mood.
- 04Multiple choice
How does your commute compare with the old office?
How the commute compares with the old office, on five options. Results shows the share of each; a large share at the longer end can explain fewer office days and a lower settled score.
- 05Ruler
How many minutes does your commute take now?
Commute time in minutes, on a ruler from 0 to 120. Results shows the median and the middle half; read it with the comparison question for the size of the change.
- 10Dropdown
How do you get to the new office most days?
How people get to the new office most days. Results shows the share of each mode, which helps you plan bike racks, parking and transit passes.
- 12Number
How many days a week do you plan to use the new office?
Planned office days per week, as a number from 0 to 7. Results shows the median and the middle half, which helps you size desks, rooms and catering for the new space.
- 13Emoji
How do you feel about the new location?
How people feel about the new location, on a row of faces. Read the lower faces with the commute questions, since a complaint about the location can be a complaint about the journey.
Tips for asking about office moves
Small choices that get honest, useful answers.
- 01
Ask after a normal week
Wait until people have worked a full normal week in the new space. The noise of moving day hides what the office is like to work in.
- 02
Put a QR code where people sit
Print the survey's QR code on the kitchen wall and in meeting rooms, so people answer while they see the problem.
- 03
Fix the small things fast
Give every missing chair, broken screen or locked door an owner in the inbox, and post what was fixed each week.
- 04
Ask again in a few months
Repeat the move rating, the office grid and the settled score a few months later, so Results shows whether the space improved.
