Team Conflict Check

An anonymous employee survey template for moments when communication is strained or tension is affecting delivery.

Why teams use this template

When tension is building, managers often get partial stories. That makes it hard to understand whether the issue is communication, trust, or unresolved conflict.

This template combines direct prompts about communication and unresolved tension with open-ended questions that let people explain what is actually happening.

Example questions

  1. How would you describe team communication right now?
  2. Do you feel heard in team discussions?
  3. Are there any unresolved tensions affecting work?
  4. How comfortable are you raising concerns?
  5. What could improve team dynamics?
  6. Additional anonymous feedback?

What a good run gives you

  • A clearer picture of what is creating friction
  • Actionable themes to address in a retro or team meeting
  • A safer way for quieter people to contribute
