3 Tools for Training & Team Check-Ins

SurveyMars Editorial Team 766 words 6 min read

Running a team or training new hires often feels like juggling too many balls at once. You need to test if your team is absorbing key info, check in on how they’re really feeling at work, and find a survey tool that doesn’t break the bank. If you’ve tried Survey Planet before, you know it has limits—like paid plans for basic features or clunky design. But here’s the good news: You don’t need to compromise. With a multiple choice test for training, easy employee feedback tools, and a free Survey Planet alternative (that’s SurveyMars!), you can save time, cut costs, and keep your team on track. Let’s break down how to use it.


Multiple Choice Test: Make Training Assessments Fast (No More Grading by Hand)


Whether you’re training new hires on company policies or testing your team on product updates, a multiple choice test is the easiest way to check understanding. The problem? Creating one from scratch and grading it manually takes hours. SurveyMars lets you build, share, and auto-grade multiple choice test for free—here’s how:


Sign up for SurveyMars (1 minute max, no credit card needed).

Click “Create New” and select the “Training Assessment” template—we already have sample multiple choice test questions (e.g., “What’s our return policy? A) 7 days B) 30 days C) No returns”).

Customize the test: Swap out the sample questions for your own. Add images if you want (like a product photo for a sales team test).

Turn on auto-grading: Tell SurveyMars which answer is correct, and it will score each test instantly.

Share the link: Send it to your team via email or Slack—they can take it on their phone or laptop.

View results: See who passed, who needs extra help, and which questions tripped people up (e.g., 60% got question 3 wrong—time to review that topic!).


A retail manager used this to test 20 new hires on store safety rules. Instead of spending 3 hours grading, she got results in 10 minutes—and could schedule a quick review for the 3 hires who needed it. That’s the power of a multiple choice test—and SurveyMars makes it painless.


Employee Feedback: Stop Guessing How Your Team Feels (Get Honest Answers)


Happy teams are more productive—but you can’t keep them happy if you don’t know what’s bothering them. Employee feedback doesn’t have to be awkward or time-consuming. SurveyMars’ tools make it easy for your team to share thoughts (anonymously, if they want) and for you to act on them.


Here’s how to collect employee feedback in 3 steps:

Pick the “Team Check-In” template on SurveyMars—it has open and closed questions (e.g., “How supported do you feel by your manager? 1-5 stars” or “What’s one thing we could improve?”).

Keep it short: No one wants to fill out a 20-question survey. Stick to 5-7 questions to get high response rates.

Offer anonymity: Toggle on “Anonymous Responses” so your team feels safe sharing (this is key for honest feedback!).

Share and act: Send the survey monthly, and share a quick summary of results with your team (e.g., “60% want more flexible hours—we’re testing a 4-day workweek next month”).


A small marketing team did this and found their team was stressed about tight deadlines. They adjusted project timelines, and within a month, burnout complaints dropped by 70%. That’s the value of employee feedback—and SurveyMars makes it free and easy to collect.


Survey Planet Alternative: Get More Features (Without the Price Tag)


If you’ve used Survey Planet, you know its free plan has big limits—like only 10 questions per survey or no real-time results. SurveyMars is a better Survey Planet alternative because it’s 100% free for everything you need:

Unlimited surveys, multiple choice test, and employee feedback forms.

Real-time results with easy-to-read charts (no more exporting to Excel).

Drag-and-drop design (way simpler than Survey Planet’s confusing interface).

No ads (your team won’t get annoyed by pop-ups while taking a test).


A nonprofit switched from Survey Planet to SurveyMars for their volunteer feedback surveys. They used to pay $15/month for Survey Planet’s basic plan—now they get more features for free, and volunteer response rates went up 40% (because the forms are easier to fill out). That’s the difference a good Survey Planet alternative makes—and SurveyMars delivers.
