A useful starting point
Questions to understand the actual experience.
Improve selecting suitable shared workspaces. Use the prompts relevant to your audience and allow people to skip situations they did not encounter. Keep response handling consistent with what you explain in the invitation.
If nothing was unclear or difficult, say so. Skip questions about steps you did not experience; use not applicable where appropriate.
What booking rule was unclear?
An unclear rule identifies uncertainty about eligibility, timing or shared-space use before reserving a desk. Explain the current policy and support route, without inferring personal entitlement or availability from a respondent's expectation.
What information would help you choose?
Turn the requested improvement into a testable next step. One illustrative action is: publish accurate equipment details for each area.

Check the experience again
After trying the change, repeat “Which desk feature was difficult to find?” with people who experienced it. Check whether they still describe the original issue: users cannot tell which desks have external monitors. Compare explanations and sample context, rather than claiming the change caused an improvement.
Choose the response format
Make room for the explanation.
| Question | Suggested format | What to preserve |
|---|---|---|
| Which desk feature was difficult to find? | Optional short text | Retain the specific point or condition described; avoid replacing it with an unexplained rating. |
| What booking rule was unclear? | Optional written explanation | Keep context that distinguishes different experiences. Do not collect personal attendance patterns. |
| What information would help you choose? | Optional improvement suggestion | Keep the suggested change separate from whether it has been tested. Publish accurate equipment details for each area. |
Make questions optional where appropriate. If you add a rating scale, label its endpoints, keep one idea per question, and retain a follow-up for reasons. These examples are not a validated measurement instrument.
Before you send it
Check what your wording assumes.
Would you agree that everything about shared desk booking was clear and easy?
Which desk feature was difficult to find?
The first wording combines an assumed positive outcome with two different judgments. The revised prompt asks about a specific experience and permits an inconvenient or uncertain answer.

Questions, answered.
Who should receive this questionnaire?
Colleagues who used or delivered the described internal process. Ask only about steps each person encountered; do not treat a voluntary response sample as representative.
When should I ask these questions?
Ask after someone has encountered the situation described in “Which desk feature was difficult to find?”, while they can still recall the details. For material testing, show the actual draft first; for planning, ask before the next relevant activity.
What should I investigate in the answers?
Users cannot tell which desks have external monitors. This is an illustrative pattern to look for, not a claim about your respondents. Do not collect personal attendance patterns.
What would a practical follow-up look like?
Publish accurate equipment details for each area. After trying the change, repeat “Which desk feature was difficult to find?” with people who experienced it. Check whether they still describe the original issue: users cannot tell which desks have external monitors. Compare explanations and sample context, rather than claiming the change caused an improvement.
How should I ask “What booking rule was unclear?”?
An unclear rule identifies uncertainty about eligibility, timing or shared-space use before reserving a desk. Explain the current policy and support route, without inferring personal entitlement or availability from a respondent's expectation. Use an optional written explanation when predefined choices would hide relevant context.
