Collaboration Feedback

This analysis contains insights into your recent collaboration experiences and collaboration skills. The data is generated through active feedback from colleagues who you have collaborated with and peers closest to you in the organizational chart. For more information about how this data is gathered and measured, see How How Collaboration Effectiveness Is Measured. For tips on how to receive collaboration feedback, see Tips on Collaboration Feedback.

Collaboration Feedback Score

The Collaboration Feedback Score is an evaluation of your contribution when working with colleagues and teams. It is the weighted average of all responses received in the last 13 weeks. The score is normalized, so a score of 80 is fairly good and a score of 50 means you're meeting expectations. You may want to reflect on your recent collaboration experiences if you scored lower than 50. For more information about the calculation, see Collaboration feedback.

Use the visualizations to understand how your colleagues are rating your overall collaboration and track changes over time.

Collaboration Skills

Get insight into the collaboration skills that your colleagues believe you have or need to work on. The breakdown is based on the responses received in the last 13 weeks. The collaboration skills are categorized into the following groups: Team Work, Communication, Openness, Emotional insight, and Interpersonal skills. For more information about these groups, see Collaboration skills.

Use the visualizations to see a breakdown of your strengths and weaknesses for each collaboration skill group. You can potentially mentor others in areas where you excel and ask for coaching or mentoring in areas that need improvement. Get feedback and advice on your collaboration skills from your colleagues in the comments section.

Collaboration Circle

Workplace Dynamics uses collaboration circles to determine who to gather feedback from. As a result, you will get continuous feedback and insights into collaboration experiences and skills from colleagues that you have worked with and peers closest to you in the organizational chart.

Use the visualizations to understand who you are spending the most time with and if you are spending too little or too much time on different aspects of work and collaboration.

Work Time and Communication Intensity

Workplace Dynamics analyzes collaboration data to provide insight into where you're spending your time and how your communications are perceived. Collaboration data includes emails, messages, reactions, and other data from corporate collaboration platforms that are generated during employees’ work and workplace interactions.

Digital Day

The Digital Day Duration is the amount of time between the average digital day start time and average digital end time for the week. Each day, we look at the times when you perform your first and last outgoing activity in communication platforms. The time of the first activity is recorded as the digital day start time and the time of the last activity is recorded as the digital day end time. For example, your first digital activity of the day is recorded when you send a chat message at 09:00 and your last digital activity is recorded at 17:00 when you send an email. The time interval between these two activities is 8 hours which is also your digital day length.

Digital activities performed between 00:00 and 04:00 (12 AM and 4 AM) are recorded as activities of the previous day. For example, if you perform an activity at 3 AM on Wednesday, the activity is recorded as an activity for Tuesday. The time when this activity is performed is recorded as 27:00.

Use the visualizations to compare your digital day with the rest of your team to ensure you're not extending the digital day day of others.

Email interactions

Understand the volume of emails you send and receive week over week and the tonality of your email communication. Workplace Dynamics interprets and extracts meaning from text to determine if emails contain conflict, praise, sentiment, and tasks. Semantic analysis generates insights that help you determine whether additional discussion and support from your manager is needed. For more information, How Semantic Analysis Works

Use the visualizations to understand your communication patterns, your emotional state, and how others may interpret your emails.

Wellbeing/Burnout Evaluation

Workplace Dynamics analyzes collaboration data to provide insight into your wellbeing. Collaboration data includes emails, messages, reactions, and other data from corporate collaboration platforms that are generated during employees’ work and workplace interactions.

The Visier Wellbeing Index is an evaluation of your wellbeing or burnout based on your behavioral patterns when collaborating with others. It is a metric that ranges from -100 to 100, where a higher value indicates better wellbeing. A value of zero or lower means signs of burnout have been detected in the your communication patterns. You will be categorized into a wellbeing zone based on how the Visier Wellbeing Index changes over time.

The wellbeing zones are:

  • High level of wellbeing: The Visier Wellbeing Index is greater than 50.
  • Low level of wellbeing: The Visier Wellbeing Index is greater than 0 and less than 50.
  • Early burnout: The Visier Wellbeing Index is less than or equal to 0.
  • Late burnout: The Visier Wellbeing Index is less than or equal to -50.

32 weeks of historical data is required to understand your behavioral patterns. Before you take action, check the data sufficiency to see if Workplace Dynamics has enough collaboration data to accurately assess your wellbeing.

Use the visualizations to understand your overall level of wellbeing and identify potential signs of burnout. For more information, see How Employee Wellbeing Is Measured.
