Health Monitor - Pip Decks

What is the Health Monitor card?

Keep track of your teams’ health to learn when and where they need support.

Research by Oxford University shows happy workers are 13% more productive. Measuring the little things that keep your team happy helps you discover patterns over time. It helps you fix what you can control, and mitigate risk on what you can’t.

Run your health checks in person or using a survey:

• I’m learning and growing

My Team

• I feel listened to
