How culture surveys work in RosterElf
Three simple stages: build your survey structure, send it to staff, and analyse the results. Everything happens inside HR Hub, with no separate platform to manage.
Build your dimensions
Create survey categories like Leadership, Inclusion and Work-Life Balance, with custom or pre-built questions from the template library.
Run anonymous surveys
Send surveys to all staff or selected employees. Staff respond anonymously in the RosterElf app they already use every day.
Review the results
View scores by dimension on your dashboard or in HR Hub reports, export data for management reporting, and identify which areas of culture need attention.
Build custom survey dimensions for your workplace
Measure the culture areas that matter to your business
Dimensions are named categories like Leadership, Inclusion, Work-Life Balance and Career Growth, each containing a set of scored questions. Build dimensions from scratch with your own name, description, and questions, or enable pre-built templates from the library. Mix custom and template dimensions in a single survey to get the most relevant insights for your organisation.
- Custom dimension name, description, and questions
- Set question polarity: high = good or low = good per question
- Mix custom and template dimensions in one survey
- Edit or remove dimensions at any time

Anonymous surveys staff actually complete
Honest feedback without fear of identification
All responses are completely anonymous, with individual answers never visible to managers or admins. Staff complete surveys in the same RosterElf app they use for rosters and timesheets. No separate login, no new tool to learn. Optional comment fields capture the "why" behind the numbers, and the simple Likert scale takes a few minutes on any device.

Track culture results through dashboards and reports
See exactly which areas of culture need attention
Add the Culture Results widget to your dashboard for a live score gauge, updated automatically after each survey. Run the Culture Survey Results report in HR Hub to filter scores by dimension, see which areas need attention, and use the Completion report to follow up with anyone who hasn't yet responded.

Benefits of culture surveys for Australian shift-based teams
Built for the realities of rostering, where managers rarely see all staff face-to-face and employee engagement is hard to measure without a structured tool.
Reduce staff turnover
Identify disengagement early, before your best staff hand in their notice. Culture surveys give you concrete data to act on, not guesswork about why people leave.
Get genuinely honest feedback
Anonymous responses surface issues that face-to-face conversations rarely do. Staff are more likely to flag real concerns about management or workload when their identity is protected.
Track culture over time
Run surveys quarterly and compare dimension scores before and after a management change, policy update, or restructure. Turn subjective culture into measurable data. Pair with performance management for a complete picture of your workforce.
No extra platform needed
Staff complete surveys in the RosterElf app they already have installed, with no new signup or separate tool. Higher participation comes naturally because there's no friction.
What is culture survey software?
Culture survey software lets organisations measure how employees experience workplace culture through structured, anonymous feedback. Instead of guessing, businesses collect quantified data across specific dimensions including Leadership, Inclusion, Career Growth and Team Communication, then use results to make targeted improvements.
For Australian businesses, culture surveys are especially valuable in shift-based industries including hospitality, retail, healthcare and childcare, where managers have limited face-to-face time with frontline staff. Regular surveys create an always-open feedback channel that doesn't depend on staff being comfortable raising concerns directly, because the warning signs of disengagement are often invisible until someone resigns.
RosterElf's culture survey feature is part of HR Hub, the integrated HR software add-on for Australian businesses. Because surveys run inside the same app staff use for rosters, timesheets, and team communication, participation rates are higher and culture measurement becomes a natural part of your HR workflow.

- Culture surveys in RosterElf are anonymous questionnaires that let you measure how employees experience your workplace. Admins create survey dimensions — named categories like Leadership, Inclusion, or Work-Life Balance — each containing a set of scored questions. Staff complete surveys anonymously via the web app or smartphone app, and results are tracked through dashboard widgets and reports inside HR Hub.
- Yes. All culture survey responses are completely anonymous. Individual answers are never visible to managers or admins — only aggregated dimension scores and overall results are shown. This encourages staff to respond honestly and provides more accurate insights into your workplace culture.
- A dimension is a named category that groups related survey questions. For example, a "Leadership" dimension might contain questions about manager communication, support, and decision-making. Dimensions allow you to measure and report on specific areas of culture separately, making results far easier to interpret and act on.

Enable a template dimension in one click and customise the questions if needed. Pre-built templates can be used alongside custom dimensions in the same survey.
