Hey there 👋

Following on last week’s improvements on the objectives module, we added new views to help managers and team members access their objectives.

These new views are available at individual and team level.

In the coming days, we will be adding a simple workflow to help managers and team members share their feedback when closing an objective.

Week 42 - Management resources library 🎓

Florian avatar
Shared by Florian • January 10, 2023

Hi folks 👋

We constantly receive a lot of (positive) feedback regarding all the management resources we share on LinkedIn, so we decided to make them available to all Popwork users.

To start with, we wrapped them up in a comprehensive library which you can access from the Popwork interface. Simply click on Management Resources at the bottom of the left menu.

As a manager, this will help you find answers to your most pressing management questions or grow your management skills.

See for yourself, and pick the topic that interests you:

Going forward, we aim to add more actionable management tips across your journey using Popwork, and eventually make them pop at the right moment.

Other improvements:

  • Team settings (edit members, rename, delete) can now be accessed more directly from the left menu - simply hover on team name
  • The Help Center is also more accessible at the bottom of the left menu

User management

Week 38 - Change manager 😎

Florian avatar
Shared by Florian • January 10, 2023

Hi folks 👋

Team managers happen to change, whether it’s for a temporary leave or for a permanent move like a reorganisation, a promotion or a departure. Now, these changes can be handled directly by the account admin(s) from the team settings.

Former managers and team members will keep access to their Popwork history through the new ‘Archived relationships’ menu. The new manager will inherit the team settings, the historic mood and workload insights but will not have access to the past interactions between the former manager and their team members.

If the new manager is a current member of the team, they will be removed as a team member and assigned as a manager.

Other improvements:

  • Fixed a display issue in team members insight summary table
  • Fixed a display issue in archived relationships when team members were removed and then added back
  • Fixed issue with paywall not displaying although trial had expired
  • Fixed issue preventing customer to subscribe again after a subscription was cancelled

Week 37 - In-app subscription & invoices, and a lot more 🧾

Florian avatar
Shared by Florian • January 10, 2023

Hey there 👋

In-app subscription & invoices 🧾

Another step towards simplifying the life of our users and Popwork account admins in particular: a proper billing interface within Popwork!

Now, account admins can:

  • Subscribe in-app and choose the plan that suits them best
  • Check out easily adding their payment method (credit card or SEPA) in a few clicks thanks to Stripe
  • Edit billing information at any time (address, contact, VAT, …)
  • Retrieve invoices in-app

Please note the following:

  • We will be rolling this out progressively to all accounts in the coming days
  • Previous invoices (before summer 2022) will not be available in the new customer portal but can be requested through the chat

Relative weight of mood answers 📊

Small but useful addition on the ‘most selected answers’ chart: you can now see the proportion of every answer in percentage - on top of the absolute number of selections.

This will help you gauge the relative importance of a trend, in particular if you manage a large organization.

Moreover, the team did two other improvements on insight charts:

  • Added a “-” mark when there is no recorded answers for a specific month
  • Fixed a display issue of the workload chart when the answer is 0% satisfied

Other improvements:

  • Improved the mood question to make the wording vary dynamically with the user’s check-in frequency (eg. How were the past two weeks?)
  • Made the objective status question mandatory again in the check-in (for team members with objectives)
  • Fixed a text editing bug in the check-in: an empty block was being wrongfully added to the answer when an item was added from historical suggestions
  • Fixed issue with confirmation modal preventing managers from deleting a question when customizing the check-in for their team
