A survey for distributed and hybrid teams covering connection, communication, meeting load, home setup, boundaries, visibility for promotion, and whether your hybrid policy is actually working for the people living under it.
Use this template freeRun it before you change a hybrid policy, and again three months after. The most common failure in hybrid design is deciding office days from headquarters without ever measuring who they cost the most.
Copy these as they are, or adapt the wording to your organisation — just keep it identical between waves, because changing a question resets its trend line.

Compare the same engagement questions across working patterns. If fully-remote employees score materially lower on connection, information flow or promotion fairness, your hybrid model is functioning as an office model with exceptions — which is the most common failure mode.
Proximity bias is the tendency to favour people you physically see. The detection question is whether remote employees believe they have equal access to growth and promotion. Cross-check the answer against your actual promotion data by working pattern; the two disagreeing is itself the finding.
Both, and say so. Surveying only afterwards reads as justification. Surveying before gives you a defensible basis for the decision and materially improves how the change lands, even for people who dislike it.
