Build social connection in your remote team.

Periodically, we ask a fun, light-hearted questions called Social Questions and Icebreakers that helps everyone in your team get to know each other better. For example, one week, we’ll ask, “Who was your favorite band 10 years ago?” or “How do you like your eggs?” We give you 300+ questions to choose from, and the question is delivered via Slack or email. After folks respond, everyone can see each others’ answers (and comment and react to it, too!❤️).

It might seem innocuous – but it’s a huge hit in a team, often sparking further conversation over lunch or in a Slack channel.

Get automatic status updates from your remote team.

Every day or week, we ask a “Heartbeat Check-in“: A periodic question that aligns your team around the progress they’re making. For example, we’ll ask “What will you work on today?” or “What’s your #1 focus this week?” You could also ask, once a month, “What are you most proud of accomplishing last month?” to everyone on your team. We’ll deliver the question via Slack or email, and share the answers with everyone in a summary. That’s it. Dead simple.
