Hey folks - this week, we released two new features you might like!

Access history with former relationships

In real life, teams change very often - be it a new manager or a team member leaving the team.

As a user you can now have direct access to your history of interactions with your former relationships.

These can be accessed from one button click in your left menu “Archived relationships”.

Admins can now create a team for manager not yet on Popwork

For a few weeks now admins can create teams but this was restricted to existing users of the account. Now, as account admin you can invite new users to join Popwork with their team.

This can be accessed from Settings > Teams > Create Team.

Other improvements:

• Fixed issue with drop down in My teams dashboard
• Insights now saving when the check-in is completed and not when the question is answered (not retroactive)
• Fixed wrong answer classification at the start of the month (not retroactive)
• Fixed link enabling to land on the right workspace from a comment email notification

Hi there 👋

We keep building on the admin role.

Users with an Admin role can now see and edit all teams belonging to their accounts from their Settings > Teams.

Admins are now able to see who's on a team and add or remove team members for every team. They will soon also be able to change managers and manage admin roles - for now please reach out in the chat to do so.

Other improvements:

• Improved all scroll bar displays to make them more visible
• Made comment in the Workload question not mandatory
• Made Achievements question not mandatory

Hi all 👋

Hope you had a nice summer break. The team here is back in business and just released a bunch of new features and improvements!

Mood and workload insights available to team members

Team members can now access their own mood and workload history. This gives team members the same view managers already had through their team dashboard.

As a team member, it can help you take a step back and visualize how you have been feeling over the past months: Are there trends I should be aware of? How have my mood and workload been for the past months?

These mood and workload insights can be accessed by the team member and their manager from the Insights tab of their workspace.

Improvements to the workload question

We have also improved how the workload question is asked and it can now be answered with a new and simpler scale.

Other improvements:

• Improved question drag & drop behavior in ritual settings
• Improved tooltip display
• Improved wording of manager onboarding journey
• Homogenized empty states amongst insight views
• Added confirmation modal before removing a team member
• Fixed a copy issue in private note panel
• Fixed an issue with loading on sign-up page
• Renamed “All” button in profile header by “Answers” for more clarity
• Fixed issue with settings reload
• Homogenized the format of in-app drawers
• Did some necessary technical cleaning and upgrades

Hi folks 👋

We’re building on the admin role with new features.

Admins are now able to greenlight the creation of a team requested by a team member. This enables new managers to easily adopt Popwork while letting the admin in control.

Admins are notified by emails for each new request and all requests can be found in Settings > Teams.

Over time, admins will have all the tools they need to properly manage their account: user management, in-app billing and global engagement metrics.

Other improvements:

• Added possibility to delete team as a manager
• Fixed loading issue when a user has no team
• Fixed a bug preventing iOS users to add comments

Hi there 👋

Today we’re making things simpler for organizations using Popwork across several teams by introducing a new Admin role.

More and more organizations are using Popwork for hundreds of team members making the addition of an admin role a necessity! Over the coming weeks, admins will gain access to the tools they need to properly manage their account: user management, in-app billing and global engagement metrics.

To start with, we’ve added admin access to global engagement metrics.

Admins can now access global engagement metrics for their organization. All the info shared between managers and team members in Popwork stays absolutely confidential - this will never change. What's new is that admins can now access aggregated values for mood and workload at their organization level.

To access these insights, admins need to go to Dashboard and select the My organization level in the top right drop-down menu.

We will continue to add new features to the Admin role to give them all the tools they need to manage their Popwork account smoothly. Next in line are our user management interface and in-app access to your Popwork subscription and invoices.

Other improvement:

• Fixed issue preventing new manager to complete their onboarding

Hey folks - we’re on a roll!

We’ve added a few more bricks to your insights Dashboard ⚡

Zoom in on team member mood & workload insights 🔬

You can now access individual team member insights by clicking on any profile in the My team members recap table. This will open a side panel where you will find:

• Mood evolution (over the past 3 months)
• Most selected mood answers (over the past 3 months)
• Workload satisfaction (over the past 3 months)

With these insights, you should be able to understand the mood dynamics of each person on your team.

To access these individual insights, go to your Dashboard > scroll down to My team members table > click on any of your team members.

Get a consolidated view on all your teams 🚁

If you manage several teams on Popwork, you can now benefit from a consolidated view of your insights. Indeed, you can select the My teams view to view insights across all your teams or choose to select any specific team to focus on its members only.

The available insights are the same. Whether you are on the My teams view or focusing on a single team, you will see:

• Mood evolution
• Most selected mood answers
• Workload satisfaction
• My team members recap table

To switch views, simply use the switch button at the top of your Dashboard page.

We've just added new insights to the Popwork manager dashboard!

Workload evolution over the past 3 months 🏋️

First, we've added the chart of your team's workload over the past three months. This will enable you to instantly gauge how your team has been feeling on this topic.

To see the Workload satisfaction chart, simply go to your team's Dashboard.

Most selected mood answers 🌈

On top of this, we've added a chart of the most selected mood answers. This enables managers to easily visualize which words have been chosen by their teams over the last 3 months to define their current mood.

Wether positive or negative, this gives managers the insight they need to understand qualitatively how their team members are really feeling. Managers don't need to take the same actions when their teams are stressed, frustrated or disappointed and this is why we've made it easy to see.

Other improvements:

• Fixed a bug preventing some email reminders to be sent
• Fixed a bug affecting the display of rituals in the timeline and side menu notifications
• Fixed a translation issue on check-in starting page
• Fixed a bug preventing the display of some workload answers

Hi guys,

We’ve just added an important new feature to Popwork: managers now have access to new insights on their teams’ mood and workload in the new Insights dashboard! 🔮

Mood evolution over the last 3 months 📊

In order to give managers a more dynamic and comprehensive view of their teams’ mood, we’re showing new insights on Popwork with the addition of graphs on the team's current mood and evolution over the last 3 months. With these new insights, we’re aiming to give managers an instant understanding of their team dynamics.

Team members insights table 🔍

We’ve also added a new team members insights table to help managers identify individual dynamics in the blink of an eye. This chart will enable managers to easily make correlations between team and individual indicators.

To access these new insights, simply go to your team Dashboard.

We’ll continue to build on this insights page to give managers all the tools they need to understand their teams and take action when necessary. Look forward to new insights on this page soon :)

Please note that these new insights replace the previous Mood barometer and Workload gauge for which we are building new versions. Stay tuned!

Other improvement:

• Fixed a bug preventing some users to access their workspaces after sharing a check-in

Managers can now create new teams on Popwork, for themselves or for their team members.

Creating a new team for oneself 🪄

Some managers lead teams made of different roles and may want to split their team in several teams in Popwork.

Each team can have their own check-in and dashboard.

To create a new team, go to Settings > Teams and click on Create Team. Name the team and assign yourself as the manager. Voila.

Creating a team for a team member 🔮

Managers also manage managers. To make it easier to use Popwork in this situation, managers can now create a team for any of their team members. The team member for whom a team has been created is notified by email and can then onboard their own team on Popwork.

To create a new team, go to Settings > Teams and click on Create Team. Name it and then choose the person for whom you 're creating the team. That's it.

Other improvements:

• fixed bug preventing one-off question to be deleted
• fixed bugs on check-in question edition, reordering and deletion
• automatically send updated check-in questions to team member workspaces
• made icons related to question edition more explicit

Hi guys,

Really happy to launch a major new feature on Popwork today: managers can now customize the check-in questions for their teams! 🧑‍🎨

Adapting the Popwork template ⚙️

If you feel the Popwork template is the right one for your team but simply want to rephrase the way questions are asked to make them more personal or suited to your team, this is now possible.

To do so, go into Settings > Rituals and select the “1:1 check-in” ritual. You can now click on any question - except the mood and workload questions - to edit the way the question is asked.

Make your changes, save them, check what the resulting check-in looks like and you’re done. The next check-ins for your team will be your own custom version.

Adding and deleting questions 🙋

It’s possible to go further into the customization of check-ins for your team and to choose to add and delete questions. The only questions that cannot be removed are the mood questions. This is because we believe no check-in or 1:1 conversation can be successful without these.

To add questions to your check-in template, simply go to Settings > Rituals and select the “1:1 check-in” ritual. To write a new question, click on the “Add question” button and write your question.

In the Advanced options, you have the possibility to add a placeholder text if you want the answer text field to be pre-populated with content.

Furthermore, you also have the option to apply a "once a month" frequency to questions. These questions will only be asked in the first week of the month. Note that if the check-in of the first week of the month is missed, this once-a-month question will be asked again in the following check-ins until answered.

Finally, if you wish to delete a question, simply click on the question and then on the Delete button.

Other improvements:

• Adapted the manager dashboard to reflect the change in the mood question (mood every week and workload once a month) with the deprecation of the satisfaction metric
• Fixed generation of first check-in after adding a new team member from Settings
• Fixed the bell notification which was displayed on team members even when there were no check-in to complete soon
• Fixed the last priorities suggestions during the check-in which were showing last achievements instead
• Fixed broken link in the Priorities question’s helper
• Fixed name display in profile menu which was causing accessibility issues for long names
• Fixed scroll bar UI
