Genesis
Informally inquiring the mood of my teams, has always been one of my 'management' pillars. That started with some~ish beers at the pubs then I had some official budget for the teams lunch: a revolution for some companies! Though I had a clear picture of the team and desiderata from each individuals, I had no data to back me up when debating with my managers.
Data requested
New country (the USA ), new company ( BMW), I needed official data.
Beyond the data, I was missing the trend on my teams' mood.
I started officially asking my team via a biweekly survey via SurveyMonkey, then I was compiling the results on an Excel Sheet. Patty helped me with the perfect wording! The happiness survey quickly became an happy routine. Discussing with the team of the trend and how to counter any downhill shifting has been fruitful. Furthermore, the chart pinpoint the team's frustration. It becomes a powerful tool to reach out the leadership management.
This product
Why creating a product if SurveyMonkey and Excel work well, you might wonder... Well, first of, for any reasons, I've never been able to get on the same Excel Sheet a bubble chart and the trend. As a user of Strava, I love to see the trend with the 'width' of the spectrum, which also was difficult to get via Excel. Eventually, I guess I missed coding!
