Considering the high level of production and export of animal products in Brazil, maintaining quality of work life (QWL) has become essential for companies to remain competitive. This study aimed to evaluate the perception of supervisors and managers of a broiler slaughterhouse in relation to quality of work life of their team to verify if the conditions perceived by the interviewed meet the minimum requirements of QWL. The method used for survey was a structured questionnaire with 11 questions that were performed in the form of interviews. The data analysis tool proposed by Bardin (2011) and the questionnaire adapted from the QWL model proposed by Walton (1973) were used to analyze the data. The study was limited in the application of interviews in only personnel of the position of management of teams. The results of the research indicate that in general the interviewees' perception is that the company meets the QWL conditions according to the model used, evidencing positive and negative factors to be analyzed by the company, making it possible to measure the company's needs at the managerial level that contribute to the QWL of employees.
