Small Teams in Teamgage Huddle
To ensure feedback remains honest and anonymous, Teamgage requires a minimum number of submissions before results are visible. This protects individual anonymity and helps ensure the feedback presented to leaders is meaningful and reliable.
For this reason, at least 4 individual submissions are required before leaders can access team results.
What happens if I have a small team?
Leaders with fewer than 4 team members, or teams with fewer than 4 active submissions, will see a locked results dashboard and will be unable to view their team results.
How should I address this?
There are three common approaches for teams that do not meet the minimum submission requirement.
1. Increase the submission rate
If a team has 4 or more members but fewer than 4 submissions, the easiest way to unlock results is to encourage more team members to submit feedback.
A quick reminder can often be enough to reach the required threshold.
Leaders can use the One-Click “Remind Team to Submit” feature in their Teamgage portal.2. Merge smaller teams
If some teams regularly struggle to reach 4 submissions, consider merging them with similar teams to create a combined reporting group.
This approach works well when teams:
- Work closely together
- Share projects or clients
- Perform similar roles or functions
The merged group can then review and discuss results together as a shared work group.
If you merge teams, remember to update your Teamgage data file upload (if applicable) or create the new team directly in your Teamgage portal.
3. Use roll-up reporting in the organisational hierarchy
If merging teams isn’t practical, remember that all submissions roll up through the organisational hierarchy. Even if a small team cannot view its own dashboard, their feedback still contributes to results at higher levels such as:
- Department
- Division
- Entire organisation
Encourage senior leaders to regularly share Teamgage results summaries and actions being taken. This helps reinforce that all feedback is valued and contributes to leadership decision-making.
