Meeting Makeover Survey

About Meeting Makeover Survey

Meetings are the heartbeat of team collaboration — but they can also drain time, energy, and morale if they’re unclear, unproductive, or repetitive. The Fantastic Meeting Culture Survey is designed to help teams take a step back, examine how meetings are experienced, and co-create better ways of working together.

This survey explores core aspects of meeting culture, including purpose, structure, participation, outcomes, and energy. It combines quick Likert-scale ratings with open-text reflections to provide both measurable trends and valuable qualitative insights.

Use this survey when your team is experiencing meeting overload, frequent frustration, or signs of disengagement — or simply as a proactive way to refresh your practices. It’s especially effective before or after a change initiative, reorganization, or a period of rapid growth when new habits need to be established.

The value of this survey lies in sparking honest conversations about how meetings can energize rather than exhaust your team. By capturing concrete feedback and ideas for improvement, you can reduce time waste, increase clarity, and ensure meetings are a meaningful part of your culture.
