  • About 7 hours of your own time over the 90 days, by our estimate

Before you start

Who to invite, and what to have ready.

Who to invite

Each person is invited on their own, when the moment happens (30 days after hire date, once configured and activated). Include everyone it applies to, not a sample. Results show once a group has at least 5 responses, so they build up over several weeks.

What to have ready
  • Your employee list: connect your HR system, or upload a CSV with each person's email, name, department, business unit, manager's email, and hire date.
  • One owner for the program, plus a colleague invited as a second admin, so it never depends on one person.
  • A short note to your employees saying why you're asking and when they'll hear what changes.
