About a week before the workshop, participants should complete the below survey questions. Here is everything you need to create and send said survey out to the team:

Setting Up The Survey: Starting below the line is exact verbiage you can copy and paste into your company’s survey tool of choice. We recommend Google Form, but any provider works.

Survey Privacy Settings: This survey should be anonymous. No one should have to sign in or provide their name or email address to submit their answers. If you’re using Google Forms, this article provides great instructions on how to ensure you’re setting it up correctly.

Question Settings: All questions should be set up for long form responses. In Google Forms, this is the “paragraph” selection.

<aside> 💡 The below terminology is specific to Google Forms. Wording may vary by provider.

Starting now, anything in purple text is instructional and not to be included in the survey. Anything in red text is meant to be replaced with the noted variable.
