Research: The Check-In Experience: The Human Side of High-Quality Connections at Work
Of course, Check-Ins have already been heavily researched and proven to correlate strongly with engagement at work, and now additional efforts are underway to understand what this ritual looks like, feels like, and sounds like for current StandOut users. Using data collected via self-report questionnaires, focus groups, and interviews, we're further defining the perceived value of Check-Ins from the team leader and team member perspectives and identifying the characteristics of a meaningful Check-In conversation.
Research: Power of Attention
StandOut users will have access to updated information on the power of attention at work, illustrating the clear relationship that exists between the level of attention received and employee engagement.
New Video Series: StandOut Connection
Enterprise Content Subscribers will be introduced to a fun new video series focused on the topic of connection! The first video of the series, available in July, shows how team leaders can provide meaningful attention through regular check-ins with their team members.
Check-Ins: Editable Loves and Loathes
Delivering on a request we've heard directly from clients, we're updating the Check-In experience to allow your teams to add/edit Loves & Loathes throughout the current Check-In week. With this update, we’ll set the Loves & Loathes section to be editable (just as the other sections of the Check-In are currently). If an update is made, a notification will be sent to the team leaders.
Check-Ins: Private Notes for Team Leaders
We’ve heard you! You want a refreshed Check-In experience, and specifically one that would enable taking notes to prepare for your Check-In conversations. Additionally, we recognize that dynamic and static team leaders have a need to collaborate on a Check-In and highlight the most urgent needs for the week. A new field will be added to the Check-In to enable this, and will only be visible to the static and dynamic team leaders of an individual.
Check-Ins: Spotlight Questions
We're freshening up the Check-In experience by adding a new and engaging optional question each week to trigger consistently meaningful conversations between your employees and their team leaders.
StandOut Platform New Language Translations
In addition to our existing platform translations options, we’re adding the following this cycle: English (UK, Australia, Canada), Dutch, Hindi, Romanian, Spanish (International, Mexico).
