When to conduct this survey
Employees often work in the evenings, reply to messages on weekends, and cannot fully rest even on vacation. You want to measure the extent to which the boundaries between work and personal life are broken, and understand who triggers this rhythm—people or processes.
What the survey shows
The survey breaks the topic down into dimensions — for each you can see what works and where growth points are hidden.
Overtime and workload manageability
Shows how regularly work extends beyond the expected time frame and whether the workload can be renegotiated in time.
Availability outside working hours
Shows whether there is an explicit or implicit expectation to respond to work messages, calls, and tasks after the workday.
Recovery and psychological detachment
Shows whether the employee is able to stop carrying work in their mind and recover during personal time.
Vacation disconnection
Shows whether the employee can genuinely disconnect on vacation thanks to task handover, coverage, and clear exceptions.
Boundary norms and manager support
Shows how much rules on urgency, availability, and manager behavior make personal boundaries clear and respected.
Example questions
Each question is a scale rating and an open-ended clarification: a person doesn’t just assign a score, but explains their answer in their own words.
-
I regularly have to do work tasks in the evening, on weekends, or during personal time in order to meet work expectations.
Disagree Agreefollow-up question
What helps tasks usually fit within working hours?
-
My work regularly has more tasks than can realistically be completed during working hours.
Disagree Agreefollow-up question
What helps you keep the volume of tasks within working hours?
-
When there are more tasks than fit within working hours, I find it hard to discuss the overload in advance and renegotiate priorities, deadlines, or scope.

What helps you discuss overload in advance and renegotiate expectations?
Open clarifications are part of the cycle methodology: Behind every score, live context remains; from it, AI extracts reasons, not just averages.
What kind of report you’ll get
The report will highlight pain points: the volume of uncontrolled overtime, the expectation to be available 24/7, the inability to psychologically detach from tasks, and the quality of rest. You will see where managers support healthy boundaries and where they break them themselves.
Not a single score, but a condition map and discovered growth points — on anonymized summaries. AI prepares options, the decision and responsibility remain with people. Next — to cycle steps.
