September 30, 2024, Empowering Leadership Through Moticheck’s New Ad Hoc Question Feature

In today’s fast-paced work environment, keeping employees engaged and fostering open communication between teams and leadership is essential. To support this, Moticheck has introduced a new feature that allows managers to directly set ad hoc questions for their teams—without the need for HR administrators to intervene. This self-serve capability is a game-changer for leadership, providing a more interactive and flexible way to engage with employees. But what does this mean for management, and why is it an important step forward?

1. Increased Managerial Engagement and Accountability

Previously, managers had to rely on HR teams to initiate engagement checks or ask specific questions to their teams. Now, managers can take full ownership by creating and deploying their own questions in real time. This shift fosters a sense of responsibility and accountability among leaders.

By crafting questions themselves, managers gain more insight into the current pulse of their teams, addressing concerns, morale, or any immediate issues. This also empowers leaders of leaders, allowing them to set questions for their broader organization. The act of formulating the right questions to gauge engagement promotes managerial reflection and helps refine leadership strategies.

2. Enhanced Employee Engagement

With direct interaction between managers and their teams, employees will likely feel more connected and valued. When a leader takes the initiative to ask specific, timely questions, it signals that the manager is attuned to the team’s needs and concerns. This fosters trust and strengthens the bond between employees and leadership, encouraging honest communication.

Moreover, managers can personalize their approach by tailoring questions based on current projects, team dynamics, or the overall work atmosphere, creating a more responsive and engaging environment. When employees feel heard, they are more likely to be motivated and engaged in their roles.

3. Encourages Agile Leadership

In today’s dynamic work environment, being adaptable and responsive is key. Moticheck’s new feature allows leaders to react quickly to changing circumstances, enabling them to ask questions in response to specific events or challenges. This agility is critical for leaders of today and tomorrow, where situational awareness and rapid feedback loops are vital.

This tool enables managers to immediately address emerging issues, new opportunities, or shifting team sentiments without the delay of going through an HR intermediary. It accelerates leadership’s ability to act on employee feedback in real-time.

4. Leadership Development and Clarification

By involving themselves more deeply in the feedback process, managers have the opportunity to refine their leadership style. Clarifying leadership priorities through direct feedback strengthens leadership skills. It offers managers a deeper understanding of team dynamics, communication styles, and challenges faced by their direct reports.

Setting ad hoc questions isn’t just about gathering data—it’s about self-improvement. Managers are forced to consider the impact of their questions and what they reveal about their team’s engagement and performance. Over time, this reflection can result in more thoughtful, effective leadership.

5. A Culture of Continuous Improvement

Moticheck’s new feature also encourages a mindset of continuous improvement. By regularly engaging with their teams through thoughtful questions, managers can stay informed about the well-being, concerns, and suggestions of their employees. This ongoing dialogue fosters a culture of improvement and learning within the organization.

The ease of use ensures that managers are more likely to check in regularly, promoting sustained engagement rather than one-off interactions. When leaders show they are invested in their teams consistently, the positive effects compound over time.

Conclusion: The Future of Leadership is Interactive

Moticheck’s new ad hoc question feature marks a significant shift toward more interactive, engaged, and accountable leadership. By placing the power of inquiry directly into the hands of managers, the platform is enabling a more responsive, dynamic workplace where leaders are more attuned to their teams’ needs. This increased interactivity doesn’t just benefit leadership but also drives higher employee engagement and a culture of continuous improvement.

In a world where agility and empathy are becoming critical traits for successful leadership, this feature provides the tools necessary to foster meaningful, real-time communication between leaders and their teams.

September 20, 2024, Targeted Employee Experience Questions: A New Feature to Tailor Engagement

At Moticheck, we’re constantly striving to enhance our platform to meet the evolving needs of our customers. Today, we’re excited to introduce a significant update to our Premium Plan employee experience survey functionality: targeted question deployment.

Previously, the employee experience questions, whether they were from our pre-designed catalog or custom-built by customers, were the same across all business units. However, we understand that not all teams are the same, and their needs vary greatly depending on their roles, locations, or functions. With our latest update, we’re giving you the power to deliver the right questions to the right teams!

What’s New?

Now, customers can define which teams receive specific questions, making the experience more personalized and relevant. Here’s a breakdown of the new functionality:

1. Target Questions at the Team Level
You can now decide which teams within your organization will receive specific employee experience questions. This is especially useful for businesses with diverse roles and responsibilities across teams.

2. Category-Level Targeting for Simplicity:
To make the setup easier, we’ve introduced **category-level targeting**. You can assign a group of questions (within a category) to particular teams, ensuring consistency across topics while minimizing repetitive setup tasks.

Why is This Important?

This new feature is designed to help organizations create more tailored surveys that reflect the unique experiences of their employees. Here’s how it can be applied:

• Role-Based Targeting: Differentiate questions between blue-collar and white-collar employees to better capture their unique work environments.
• Location-Based Targeting: Ask more relevant questions based on geography, whether it’s your HQ or regional offices.
• Department-Specific Targeting: Customize surveys for your production teams versus corporate teams, ensuring the feedback is precise and actionable.

Who Will Benefit?

This feature is a game-changer for companies where employee roles differ significantly, but it’s also a valuable tool for all organizations aiming for more precise engagement insights. Whether you’re targeting questions based on the type of work (e.g., HQ vs. production plant) or regions (e.g., different countries), you now have the flexibility to do so effortlessly.

We’re confident that this update will help our customers make even better use of Moticheck to foster a more engaged and motivated workforce. Stay tuned for more updates, and as always, we’re here to help if you have any questions or need assistance in setting up your targeted surveys!

September 1, 2024, Introducing Individual Time Zone Settings

We’re excited to announce a new feature that puts you in control of your Moticheck experience: Individual Time Zone Settings. This enhancement allows each user to customize their time zone to ensure that all Moticheck communications are received precisely when expected.

Why This Change?

Previously, Moticheck relied on automatic time zone detection based on your device’s settings. However, this approach proved unreliable, particularly for organizations using various VPN solutions that often caused incorrect time zone readings. To address this issue, we’ve shifted to a more dependable method.

How It Works

• Initial Time Zone Setup: Your initial time zone will be automatically set based on the location data in your profile.
• Personalized Adjustments: You can easily adjust your time zone anytime through the personal settings menu. Once changed, the update takes effect immediately, resetting your communication schedule according to the new time zone.
• Unlimited Changes: Feel free to modify your time zone settings as often as needed. This feature is available to all users, regardless of whether you’re on our Basic or Premium plan.

With this new capability, we aim to enhance the accuracy and reliability of your Moticheck notifications, ensuring they align with your preferred schedule.

This version provides a more polished and detailed explanation, enhancing the readability and clarity of the update.

August 19, 2024, Small but Meaningful Up-dates

This time we have focused on refining Motichek functionalities and the user experience. Here’s a quick rundown of the improvements and fixes you can now experience:

•Direct Reports Filter: We’ve fixed issues with the filter for direct reports, ensuring smoother performance and more accurate filtering.

•Matrix Team Editing: The matrix team editing functionality has been enhanced for better usability.

•Target Deletion: You can now delete targets, making it easier to manage your goals.

•Results Page Enhancements: The feedback card on the results page now includes expand and print buttons, giving you more control and flexibility.

•Overview Card Updates: We’ve added additional help and information to the overview cards to provide clearer guidance.

We’re committed to continuously improving your experience with our platform and these updates are part of that journey. Stay tuned for the mobile push and more updates soon!

August 2, 2024, Introducing Response Rate and Score Targets: Elevate Your Organization’s Goals

We are excited to announce the launch of our highly anticipated new feature: Response Rate and Score Targets!

Following our June webinar, we promised to bring you the ability to set clear, measurable goals for your organization’s response rate and employee engagement scores. And now, it’s here! You can now define custom targets for the response rate you want to achieve and set a separate goal for the average score you aim for as a company.

These targets apply across all business units, offering an easy way to track progress. By default, business unit results will be compared against these targets, though you still have the flexibility to choose other benchmarks based on your user permissions and team results. Rest assured, this new feature integrates smoothly with existing functionality—everything you’re used to remains intact, with this additional layer of goal-setting now at your disposal.

Why Set Targets?

Establishing targets isn’t just about tracking numbers—it’s about setting clear expectations for your organization’s ambition and commitment to employee engagement and well-being. These goals act as powerful reference points, providing a unified focus for both leaders and employees. In this way, they help foster a shared understanding of where your organization stands and where it aims to be, making them a valuable tool in improving the overall employee experience.

We’re confident this new feature will help you take a significant step forward in evaluating and enhancing workplace culture. Start setting your targets today and empower your teams with clear, actionable goals!

All users in the Administrator role can set and edit the targets. The item is located in the set-up menu on the Organization page in Moticheck.

This innovative feature serves as an intelligent benchmark, considering the unique characteristics of your team, and allows you to evaluate your actual score against this prediction.

The beta version of the predictive model is currently available only for administrators. We will expand the functionality to managers and employees once HR experts in admin roles have validated it.

April 23, 2024, Enhancing the Process of Gathering Product Feedback

We’re announcing a significant improvement in how we gather invaluable feedback from our users. With this update, we’ve revamped the feedback collection model to enhance user engagement and satisfaction.

Previously, users were prompted with feedback questions instead of the regular catalog questions. Our enhanced model now seamlessly integrates feedback questions alongside regular catalog questions or ad hoc inquiries, creating a smoother user experience.

Feedback is solicited from three key user groups: regular employees, managers, and administrators. This input is instrumental in tailoring system improvements to meet the specific needs and expectations of each user group.

Our new model offers customers greater flexibility in planning the frequency and timing of feedback questions, empowering them to optimize their interaction with the platform. We’ve observed that this flexibility particularly benefits our most active users and discerning customers who actively utilize customization options.

True well-being flourishes only when I actively contribute to enhancing my professional life and hold myself accountable for my growth and well-being discourse. It’s not just about continuous learning; it’s about the lifelong development we should strive for.

How am I progressing? What are my preferences? Where do I envision my path forward? Do I desire changes in my professional sphere? How can I make that happen? Can I orchestrate change independently? Who can assist? What should be my next course of action?

No need to fret. We’re here to support you, as well as all your team members. Moticheck is introducing a new individualized results board. It presents a confidential data-backed view that assists in steering your career path, enhancing your overall well-being on the job, and shaping your developmental agenda. By providing a holistic perspective of yourself, Aidan, our mentor, offers insightful and supportive questions to guide you forward. This straightforward yet comprehensive tool is designed to aid in preparing for one-on-one meetings and fostering development dialogues.

This functionality is a part of the Premium plan. You can compare the plans on our website here.

The templates are included and are available for download. The function follows the API functionality but in Microsoft Excel format.

August 11, 2023, API Update

We have updated the API functionality that builds the organization structure based on employee and direct manager data only.

The API that includes also business units’ data remains the core API for our customers and was not touched by the release.

July 24, 2023, All New 4-choice Response Scale

A new 4-choice response scale is available, alongside the already existing binary scale and 5-options scale. The options on the new scale are “Yes”, “Rather yes”, “Rather no” and “No”. It targets the users who like multiple choice but are not into numbers and also the organizations that want to avoid 50/50 responses. All scales can be activated by the admin users via the company settings and will thereafter become visible in the user menu.

Also, company data sync API fixes were applied to be able to create new teams into business units when there is no manager/ the manager is somewhere in higher structures of the organization.

The business unit toggle, which sets the business unit active/inactive, will notify the user about the consequences of toggling to eliminate the risk of activating/deactivating Moticheck by accident.

We also applied design fixes on the dashboard and the company card.

July 3, 2023, All New Modal for Adding Catalog Questions

• We kick off July with a very important product update. Moticheck customers can now add custom catalog questions in addition to ad hoc questions. This means that customers can carry on questions from their previous surveys and automate these like the original Moticheck questions. This enables better comparison and eases the switch from the previous provider to Moticheck.

• Custom catalog questions are asked the same way as the default ones. it is also possible to toggle these active/inactive. The answers to the customer catalog questions are displayed within the respective categories and on question cards in the dashboard as well.
• Custom catalog questions can be deleted only if they are not asked; once asked it is only possible to modify the text of the question.

June 08, 2023, Option to Respond to Past Daily Questions

• In June, we responded to the request from some of our customers to enable answering daily questions from the past. Now the chatbot invites users to answer unanswered questions from the past week.
• In addition, the chatbot now displays a reaction to each answer provided as a gesture and to share the emotions attached to the response.
• We also did some smaller fixes to speed up the load time for the dashboard and the company view and the SaaS Agreement terms and conditions now feature Aidan as an additional service.

May 12, 2023, Aidan Becomes Chatty and We Have Improved Both API and SSO

Since the middle of May, users in the manager rights can chat with Aidan asking follow-up questions and advice. For example, one can ask for an action plan or additional resources such as books to read or methods to implement – whatever helps to tackle the issue.

Other improvements:

• Company data batch API adjustments to enable sending employee start date with the batch;
• SSO adjustments in order to decouple the SSO usage from the Teams usage;
• Fixes in response channel selection flow.

April 14, 2023, Introducing Aidan, an AI-powered Mentor

This might well be the most important tech development in the space of HR and management tools. We have taken a quantum leap to AI. We started testing a leadership consultant and mentor called Aidan with selected customers. Aidan supports managers in solving issues and praises them for good leadership when appropriate. Say tuned for more news. Aidan will be available for all customers in May.

Other notable improvements and updates:

• Dashboard data filtering is possible based on tags added to employees. For example “Outsourced employee”, “Part-time/full-time employee” etc. Tags can be added via the edit employee modal.  Once created and added to an employee, it can be reused to tag other employees in the company. All unused tags are deleted 1 x week.
• Company data batch API includes an endpoint to fetch all employees of a company.
• Teams bot auto-install background job checks if an employee belongs to the department that is currently “active” in Moticheck. If not “active”, the bot will not be installed.
• Bug fixes in a manager’s monthly email.

March 16, 2023, New Filters for Enhanced Analytics

• The first release in March focuses on improving analytics in Moticheck.

• There are new additional filters available in Moticheck to zoom into the results by employee positions and length of service.

• The data will be shown only if at least 3 employees in the company have the same position or at least 3 employees in the company fall into the same predefined service length period.
• The renewed style guide supports an unlimited number of additional filters, which will be wrapped as rows containing 6 filters underneath each other; expand button is available to open up these additional filters. So you can anticipate further additions to the filtering options soon.

• We have also added additional checks in the dashboard to provide user anonymity.
• The Microsoft Azure SSO users will be now notified if they log into Moticheck with the wrong Microsoft account and are prompted to log out. This is quite usual that people have several accounts such as student accounts or a private account in Microsoft in addition to their work account.
• To improve the management of catalog questions in Moticheck the toggled-out questions are shown in gray color in the view of the questions.
• And we did some smaller bug fixes in the dashboard feedback card.

 

 

 

Other security updates follow up on the recent PEN testing and include among other items:

 

• The big story of the last release in November is the introduction of a choice of response scales that can be set individually. Motichecki is known for its’ unusual approach to employee surveys. This is because, unlike other survey providers, Moticheck focuses on employees and their direct managers. There are binary and non-binary scales now in use to suit the different natures of employees and to make it more convenient for employees.
• A numeric five-choice response scale is available, alongside a yes/no scale. What you should know about it:

• Response scale can be changed via the company settings;
• Company admin roles can allow both response scales or just one of these;
• The default scale is a binary scale for all the current companies;
• If both scales are enabled by the company admin roles, users will see the answer scale selection in the user menu and can choose between these two.

With a five-choice response scale, the reply options are 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%, displayed in an email, Slack, Moticheck

bot, and Teams bot after each Moticheck question. With a binary scale, the response options are still displayed as Yes and No buttons but converted into 100% and 0% respectively in all the calculations. Moticheck chatbot will advertise the answer scale options to employees if the company admin role has enabled both scales and the user has not yet selected its preferred option.

• Other features included in the release are:

• The Swedish language is added to Moticheck;
• Help texts include a link to the Moticheck website’s FAQ page;
• Bug fixes.

There are occasions when the full team is out of the office. it might be a planned collective vacation or an offsite meeting. Anyway, it is good to switch Moticheck off for these days for the whole team to let them concentrate on the occasion. So from now on, admins can toggle business units to inactive/active in order to pause these from receiving Moticheck questions; inactive status starts the next day after toggling, and active status starts immediately after switching it back on.

 

• • • Moticheck mobile-only users will no longer have confusing channel selection options in the user menu. The options are limited to the channels available to every individual user.

• • • Manager-has-seen -mark in the comments area of the feedback card and question cards is now red if the manager has not yet seen the comment. This is to draw managers’ attention to signaling their feedback and saying “thanks” to employees who took the time to write comments.
    • We have also applied some changes to the departments’ cards in the Moticheck dashboard. These relate to bug fixes and data comparisons. 

• • • 

      We have improved the information, design, and advice provided in the monthly managers’ emails.  The new features of the managers’ email are:

    • Channel selection in the user menu includes all options and if the mobile app is not yet installed, a user is redirected to the store;
    • Various security improvements regarding tokens, secrets, and session storage.

This functionality enables the creation of cross-border functional teams for example and hands access to the results to leaders of parallel functions.
      • The dashboard displays a consolidated matrix team result for the people in an employee role. The managers and admins can see the results at every business unit level.

 

• • • Other important updates with this release:

    • Chatbot invites users to select Slack as a channel if the Moticheck Slack app has been enabled by the company admin roles.

We are introducing a new category – the mental health category. Mental health has emerged as one of the most underrated yet most costly occupational health and well-being elements. The long social distancing and remote and hybrid work have made the mental challenges more felt and more evident.

It is a well-known saying that prevention is times cheaper than cure. Here is how Moticheck can support its customers. The mental health category maps if there are any issues with mental health or not. It investigates the reasons for mental issues and indicates any change in this category. Employees are also asked to provide feedback on the adequacy of the mental health initiatives and support the employer provides.

The mental health category questions are turned off by default. The questions can be activated from the questions menu.

Other important updates with this release are visible on the resulting dashboard. For better readability, the tooltips in the heat map display employee experience categories instead of the names of the business units.

Other important updates with this release:
