You’ve done the briefings, asked everyone and assume your team is OK coming back to the office. But do you really know? And how do you know if that changes?
This is where the data becomes crucial, and where Pioneera’s AI bot, Indie, becomes a manager's best friend.
The data pictured is a team’s Stress and Wellness response from the week returning to the office. This high-performing team has been using our Indie bot for over a year. They’re productive, focused and collaborative.
The manager had wellbeing plans in place to make the return to the office as smooth as possible. The results surprised even them.
What caused the spike in stress?
The circled areas indicate two periods of intense stress for the team. The smaller one occurred immediately after the team’s return-to-office briefing.
The briefing included topics such as:
-
The importance of communication during transitions
-
Practicing empathy with team members
-
New starters in the team
-
New team ‘norms’
-
Managers guiding and leading by example
-
Practicing self care
-
Watching for change fatigue
The second, larger spike was when it was announced that wearing masks in the office was mandatory.
How Indie helped
The manager was able to pinpoint stressful events impacting their team’s wellbeing and productivity. Without Indie, the manager would not have known the significance of these events. They can now take action to support their team to keep them healthy and productive.
“With the rapid changes to conditions, like last weeks’ circuit breaker lockdown, having Indie’s real-time data available has become an essential tool in knowing when and how to support my team.”
