What are development surveys in Monotree?

Development surveys are the tool in Monotree for 1-on-1 and yearly development conversations between a manager and an employee. HQ defines the questions once, and every manager gets the same structure to hold the conversation by.

The manager goes through the questions together with the employee and writes down what was agreed as a development plan for that employee. Unlike satisfaction surveys, these conversations are never anonymous, since the point is the individual.

Everything is saved. At the next conversation, the manager and the employee start from what was agreed last time and not from a blank page.

  • Structured overview for managers of all their employee conversations

  • Ability for HQ to track status

  • All historic data is easily accessed for future use

How development surveys work

The same process in every department, without binders and spreadsheets.

  1. 01

    Define the questions

    HQ writes the question guide once, with help texts for the manager, and chooses the departments and the rhythm.

  2. 02

    Manager and employee talk

    The manager opens the conversation in the app, goes through the questions with the employee and writes the plan.

  3. 03

    Pick it up next time

    The plan and the history are there at the next conversation, and HQ sees the status across departments.

Questions about development surveys

  1. What is the difference between a development survey and a satisfaction survey?

    A satisfaction survey is anonymous and measures how a whole team or company is doing over time. A development survey is a named conversation between one employee and their manager, and it ends with a written plan for that employee.

  2. What is a development survey?

    A development survey is a structured 1-on-1 conversation between a manager and an employee, often held once or twice a year. In Monotree, the manager goes through a fixed set of questions with the employee and writes a development plan, and both the answers and the plan are saved for next time.

  3. Are development surveys anonymous?

    No. They are conversations about one employee, so they are never anonymous. Satisfaction surveys are the anonymous tool in Monotree.

  4. How often should we hold development conversations?

    That is up to you. Most companies hold them once or twice a year. In Monotree you set the rhythm, and a new round starts automatically.

  5. Is the history saved?

    Yes. Answers and development plans from earlier rounds are kept with the employee, so the next conversation starts from what was agreed last time.

  6. Can we use our own questions?

    Yes. You write the question guide yourself, with help texts for the manager, and you can change it from round to round.

  7. Do we pay extra for development surveys?

    No. Monotree has one price per user, and it covers every feature including development surveys, along with AI, integrations, personal onboarding and live chat support. There are no modules or add-ons.

  8. Can employees use development surveys on both iPhone and Android?

    Yes. Your employees use Monotree as your own branded app on iPhone and Android, and administrators manage content and settings in a web-based CMS.
