Long text
Use the builder link to retain logic, piping, consent, scoring, and randomization. Plain text copies wording only; piped answers become editable placeholders.
How to read the results
Track the workload score over time and read it with the hours question. Look for teams where several answers move together rather than reacting to one low score. Report themes, not individual comments, and point people to support. These are editable items, not a clinical measure.
Preview your edited survey on desktop and mobile, run a small pilot, and review an export before inviting the full audience. Adding questions is optional: keep the ones that support your decision.
