How to read team spirit survey results.
The weakest side of team spirit
The team matrix rates friendliness, productivity, collaboration, mutual support, engagement and success from 1 to 5. The lowest row is your first priority.
Team versus department
The second matrix asks the same about the department. When the team scores higher than the department, look at the question on contact with other departments to see how much the teams talk.
Why teamwork falls short
People who rate teamwork from 1 to 3 explain why in their own words. On Basic and higher plans, filter the answers by time at the company; export everything to Excel, CSV or SPSS on any plan.
