Using Teamgage Conversations as a Leader

Using Teamgage Conversations as a Leader

Teamgage Conversations allows leaders and administrators to respond directly to feedback while preserving the anonymity and safety of every team member. Conversations provide a secure and constructive way to acknowledge feedback, ask follow-up questions and continue meaningful dialogue with your team.
Info
To ensure psychological safety and accountability, your organisation’s Teamgage admins have visibility over all conversations and can step in if needed to support either party.
