How team check-ins work.

One short check-in per week

Two to four short questions give your feedback a regular place in the working week.

A check-in consists of two to four statements. Everyone in the team receives the same questions within a week and rates them on a scale from 1 (“strongly disagree”) to 5 (“strongly agree”). Comments are optional. Employees use shared team access rather than individual employee accounts.

The questions for a week already in progress remain unchanged. A week ends the following Monday at 00:00 in the Europe/Berlin time zone. A short recurring appointment helps make participation part of everyday work. After the start is approved, you share the prepared participant access details and invitation text through your usual channel yourself. You can also remind people about the weekly check-in yourself. Automatic email reminders are optional and are activated only if you deliberately choose them. A Teams integration is not included.

A fixed question makes the index comparable

The index shows how your team experiences collaboration from week to week.

The index question is: “Overall, my experience of working together in my team this week has been positive.” It stays the same from week to week. Its mean produces the EngageBeat Index: (Mean − 1) × 25.

A mean of 3 corresponds to 50 points, and a mean of 4 to 75 points. Other questions and comments do not contribute to this value. There is no automatic rating as “good” or “bad”, and no comparison with other companies.

The index is a simple indicator of morale. It is not a scientifically validated engagement score, a diagnosis or a measure of individual performance. Changes in participation can also influence the trend.

Rotating topics help explain the picture

Additional questions help you identify specific opportunities for action behind the picture of morale.

Alongside the index question, one to three questions rotate from topics such as collaboration, clarity, workload and appreciation. Questions asked less often and not asked recently are given priority. The example questions show the format of the statements used.

With EngageBeat Fokus, you can add custom questions and topic packs on AI adoption and transformation. Questions are versioned: when a statement changes, a new comparison series begins. Topic trends remain separate from the fixed index. The application displays twelve weeks of history; this display limit is not an automatic deletion period.

Turn results into improvements

After the week closes, use the available feedback to agree a next step.

Authorised team owners see results and comments only after the week closes and only if there are at least five valid responses to the question concerned. Team members do not get their own results view through participant access. With fewer responses, the corresponding results remain hidden.

The team leader then brings selected results to a team discussion: What stands out? What explains the trend? What specific action will we take, who will own it and when will we review progress? When sharing comments, take care not to make anyone identifiable through the content or context. More about confidentiality and limitations.
