Team mood check-in: one minute a week

A quick weekly pulse on how the team is really doing: how the week felt, energy, support and what would make next week better. Five questions, under a minute, and easy to compare week to week.

The questions

  1. This week at work has been good for me. (strongly disagree to strongly agree)
  2. I have energy for my work at the moment. (strongly disagree to strongly agree)
  3. People in this team help each other out. (strongly disagree to strongly agree)
  4. My manager supports me when I need it. (strongly disagree to strongly agree)
  5. What would make next week better? (open answer)

You can add, remove or reword questions before you send it. Answers are anonymous and only you see the results.

Why it matters

  • You notice a dip early, not at the annual survey.
  • The open question gives you one fix to try every week.
  • It shows the team you care about more than output.

How to run it

  1. Send it on Friday afternoon, the same time each week.
  2. Use the same team name each time to see the trend.
  3. Mention one thing you learned from it in Monday’s meeting.
  4. If scores drop two weeks in a row, ask in one-on-ones.

What to do with the results

Low on a good weekAsk in Monday’s meeting what made last week hard, and what would help.
Low on energyLook for too many meetings or late finishes, and cut one thing.
Low on supportBook short one-on-ones this week and ask “what do you need from me?”
