HOW TO USE

Best practices

1. Run anonymously. Psychological safety requires anonymity. Use a form tool that doesn't log names — even if your team says they don't mind.
2. 8-minute time-box. A health check that takes 20 minutes won't get completed. Design the survey to be done in one coffee break.
3. Share results with the team. If results disappear into a manager's notebook, trust drops. Share the anonymised summary within 48 hours.
4. Act on one item per cycle. Trying to fix everything at once fixes nothing. Pick the highest-voted item and make it visibly better.
5. Track trends, not snapshots. A single 7/10 score means nothing. The pattern across four quarters tells you whether the team is improving or drifting.
