Popwork's changelog

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.

You can now select between 3, 6 and 12 months time period in your dashboard.

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

We doubled down on the objectives module following a first upgrade at the end of July to make objectives easier to track!

1) New objectives indicators

Admin and managers now have indicators in their dashboard to quickly (i) see how many team members have objectives, and (ii) what is the status of objectives in their organization or team

2) Simplified workflow to archive objectives

An objective can now be archived in one click. You will be able to record the level of attainment on a goal attainment scale. Archived objectives can be accessed in the “Archived objectives” tab.

3) Comments on objectives

Comments are now available on objectives status updates to help users follow up directly in Popwork.

We have released a series of improvements to help team members better leverage Popwork data when answering questions.

Team members can now access their action items, which is particularly useful when answering the achievements, priorities or challenges questions.

More broadly, team members can now access all their past answers in the side panel accessible in a single click.

We have also the design of the progress bar and show tips more clearly below each question.

Other improvements:

• Clicking on Popwork logo now redirects team members to their workspace
• Several responsive improvements have been made to buttons and labels

Since June 2023, you can connect Popwork with your Google Calendar and add recurring Popwork rituals into your calendar.

We have now fully synchronized Popwork and Google Calendar : Moving Popwork events in your Google Calendar is reflected in Popwork and invitations and reminders to answer questions will be sent at the right time.

For instance, if you move your next 1:1 meeting from Thursday 10:00am to Monday at 09.30am, Popwork will invite your team member to prepare the meeting on Friday, not Wednesday.
