What's inside AI Readiness & Usage Survey
Section 1 — Experience & confidence
How familiar staff are with AI, how confident they feel using it, and where their nervousness sits.
Section 2 — Current usage
Which tools staff are actually using today, in which workflows, and with what data.
Section 3 — Risks & concerns
What worries staff about AI — beneficiaries, accuracy, jobs, ethics — captured without judgement.
Section 4 — Training & support needs
What staff want help with — and the format (live, recorded, written) that would actually land for them.
Section 5 — Opportunities
The tasks staff would most like AI to take off their plate — your prioritisation list, written by the people doing the work.
Analysis framework
How to interpret responses, what patterns to look for, and how to turn findings into a one-page leadership summary.
Avoid the common pitfalls
Skipping the survey
Writing policy without staff input produces a document staff resent and ignore.
Asking only managers
Frontline and admin staff usually have the richest insight — leaving them out skews everything.
Not anonymous
Named surveys produce polite, useless answers. Honest answers need genuine anonymity.
No follow-up
Running the survey and not reporting back kills any chance of a second one.
