When it comes time to start an Engagement survey, account admins will have to choose which template to use for the survey. So before the survey, it is important that all custom questions and/or templates be created.
Account admins can use 15Five's existing & scientifically backed templates, Engagement+ Fundamentals, Engagement+ Advanced, OR can create a Customized template. The existing 15Five templates include dozens of psychological science research themes that include intrinsic motivation, positivity, fairness, strengths, and psychological safety. These templates are ready to use out-of-the-box and allow admins to gather extremely valuable information, even if they are unsure what questions to ask initially. To check out the Engagement+ full, pre-loaded question bank, click on the 'Question bank' option from your left navigation menu.
Note
Only account admins for Plus accounts have access to create custom questions and custom templates. Additionally, only account admins can access the Question bank.
