Admins can now visualize and edit the management rituals available to their managers.

Popwork templates are a robust basis used by thousands of teams, but you may want to customize them to fit perfectly with your company culture.

As an Admin, to visualize these rituals and the template question, simply go to Company > Rituals & trainings.

To customize these management rituals for your company, click on the “Talk to an expert” button and a Popwork expert will get in touch with you to consult and configure the best rituals for your company together with you.

For each template, you will be able to:

• Add, edit or remove questions
• Lock important questions
• Change the recommended frequency

Note that managers will still be able customize rituals for their own teams, including:

• Add, edit or remove questions (that are not locked)
• Choose the best frequency for each of their team member

Other improvements:

• Fixed several bugs related affecting the synchronization of Outlook calendar events
• Improved the user experience when saving ritual frequency and calendar changes
• Fixed a small bug in the default due date when creating an objective
• Improved the user experience when adding a comment or a quick reaction

The csv export includes the following attributes:

• User first name
• User last name
• User email
• Manager email
• Admin role (boolean)
• User creation date
• User status (active or deleted)
• User deletion date
• User last activity date

You can now grant access to dotted-line managers or N+2 who want to get access to the answers of a team member.

This access can be given (and removed) by the direct manager or the team member themselves from the top left of their workspace.

These people are read-only and have access to all incoming answers (not historical ones). Soon, they will also be able to comment and react on these answers as well.

In the event the team member has a new manager, this third-party access for must again be given by the team member or the new manager.

Admins and HRs can now easily monitor the adoption of Popwork in their organization, manager by manager.

From their Settings, admins and HRs can visualize which managers have onboarded their teams on Popwork, which management rituals they have activated and for how many people on their teams.

This is part of a broader effort to support HR executives in the roll-out of Popwork across their company.

We have just released a new version of the team recap for managers.

It’s a simple table that helps managers visually identify the key pulse metrics of their team members: how they are doing in terms of mood and workload.

The RAG (Red, Amber, Green) indicators enable managers to see in a glimpse any alerts that might need further digging.

From there, managers can zoom in on historical evolution and access raw historical answers.

We’ve just made workload much easier to measure on Popwork! The workload question is now based on a simple 5-step scale.

It makes it easier for team members to share their current workload by choosing among five answers:

• Not enough work 🥱
• I can do more 👍
• All good 👌
• I have a lot to do 🔥
• Too much work 🥵

Managers can more easily monitor the workload of their team members and spot workload issues. A new workload chart is available in their dashboard with a more actionable breakdown:

• Too much work
• Good workload
• Low workload

This way, admin and managers have a clear view of the actual workload for their organization or teams, and can take appropriate actions.

Other improvements:

• Comments now appear below action items
• Each ritual now have a different background color to help user differentiate them
• Access to objectives is now fully mobile responsive
• A number of improvements have been made to the onboarding on mobile
• Small fine tuning were made to the new ritual answer interface
