TeamMood reviews

Great for Team Happiness

Opmerkingen: I sought this package to maintain engagement during Covid-19 and I also wanted to overtly look into how to understand how happy and motivated by team are. I have really enjoyed the experience and our team will continue to use moving forward even when we come out of the crisis. It is great to have this alternative way to interact with teams and to gain an understanding of what and how they are feeling - the insights we are getting, and the problems we are solving were latent during our normal working methods. I am pleased to use a management method that can help me dig deeper into the workings of teams and individuals in order to keep teams engaged, increase motivation, and enhance my team's experience of work!

Pluspunten:

Very easy to use, easy to set up and easy to administer! If you are looking at ways to keep teams engaged and to look at trends in happiness then I highly recommend this package. I have found also that it is a great repository for random thoughts and questions - the type which would not normally be raised / addressed during normal work.

Minpunten:

perhaps some additional analytical dashboards could be introduced to dig deeper into usage trends, engagement trends, language trends.

Simple, awesome product that does exactly what it promises no more, no less.

Opmerkingen: Visibility into the emotional health of my team. And because it's not a manager-only dashboard, everyone gets that benefit, too. It serves as a pulse check, either validating what we know or giving helpful cues to think about what causes a change. While the core benefit is bringing first-person, quantifiable measurement to your team's mood, the qualitative insights (comments) give the context needed to move past assumptions (like, why was this a better/worse day than others, and how do we more/less of that thing).

Pluspunten:

It's so freaking simple. Because it requires just 2 clicks, it's an easy habit to form. While the insights are fairly simple, sometimes all you want is top-level, at-a-glance data. I love that the data is available for everyone in the org to see. We used to pull up TeamMood every retrospective we held (after a sprint), just to scan for areas of tension or celebration. It's very helpful directionally. (And great for introverts.) Importantly, their team listens. I once sent a 'meh, why not' type of product feedback and received a personal response from the founder within the day. The dashboard has improved quite a bit, the analytics and design are easy to understand. While pricing is always subject to change. We've had TM for nearly 2 years with no reason to let it go.

Minpunten:

a) While it's easy to form a habit, it's easy to break, too. (I'm guilty of this.) When people forget, the data isn't as insightful when looking back for trends. An integration with Slack may help with a team like ours, though other apps do that already. b) As a small, co-located team of 10, we generally know how folks are feeling. This tool validates it. As more and more of us work remote (partially or fully), I think this will be a more important tool.

Amazing tool that people love to use

Opmerkingen: Starting from a point of an organization with very little horizontal communication, TeamMood helped us give everyone a voice and gauge how people are feeling on a daily basis. Already a number of topics have popped up to address, that might have otherwise remained hidden and turned toxic if not voiced openly. This tool enables us to keep the health of our team on a higher level.

Pluspunten:

Enables team members to express themselves anonymously and support each other on a daily basis.

Minpunten:

It does exactly what it promises without any bells and whistles - this is actually a strength.

Good idea but need to expand the number of functionalities

Pluspunten:

Very easy to use and set up Support team very responsive

Minpunten:

I'm missing the possibility to choose between quick questionnaire and something more comprehensive. Need some help and/or guidelines to interpret the datas.

Another angle to workforce mental health

Opmerkingen: View of teams' feelings during period of organisational restructure. We used it across five teams from 7-60 people and were able to spot trends highlighting weaknesses in leadership and communication. Brits are far more candid when providing anonymous feedback and commentary about their feelings. To avoid singling out individuals we agreed (based on advice from developer) to have teams no smaller than 7 people. Where that was the case we merged at least two teams and levelled up in management. The main mistake was not to push it through right channels across the enterprise (1500 people) and integrate with other mental health tools under one dashboard. Perhaps next time...

Pluspunten:

Simple user interface, easy to set up and administer, reporting, graphs, optional anonymity, exporting results. Nudge rather than intrusion. Clear pricing structure with volume discounts. Single use app with API to integrate with other business tools.

Minpunten:

* Note: the last time I used it was in spring '16 so things have probably progressed * Lack of social login / SSO with major platforms.

Teammood : this should be mandatory for a Team !

Opmerkingen: The first time we used Teammood was with a teams which work on digital products and was partially remote. We need to have some digital tool to give our mood.
After that, every one was interested by this practice like the simplicity of use of Teammood, and then usage grow up into our company !
And the Teammood's prodcut team is really nice !

Pluspunten:

With Teammood, I really appreciate the easy of use : 1 email (or message in Teams or Slack) per day and you can simply and anonymously give your mood and leave a comment (as you want) For whole team including the team leader or manager, everyone share really simply their mood and can engage continuous improvement discussions

Minpunten:

There's nothing to say here. Teammood is really a nice product...

Helping Encourage Communication

Opmerkingen: We think this tool is a great way to integrate wellbeing into our management style - both for myself as the team leader, but also enabling staff to better engage and empathize with one another.

Pluspunten:

The anonymous data, and more importantly the anonymous comments, meant that our team (who are quite introverted) had a place they could open up about issues and it be seen by everyone - not just the admin. We could respond to these comments in the system, which meant that some discussion could occur while still private. We think using TeamMood has also helped people to discuss how they feel and mention when things are getting difficult, as the conversation had been started. It was very easy to use and set up and affordable.

Minpunten:

No negatives for us - it's a simple tool, but it does what we needed it to.

Simple yet very nice piece of software

Opmerkingen: Nice and fast way to monitor team mates, especially during this covid / working from home period :-)

Pluspunten:

Easy and very fast way to share team mates feeling on an everyday basis.

Minpunten:

As a manager I would be happy to be able to configure a bit more the stats.

Great tool for keeping pulse on teams

Pluspunten:

Easy and painless way for users to report on their day, view how others rater their days, and how it compares to an average day for the team. From a management perspective, this is a great way to keep a pulse on the team's health and overall sentiment.

Minpunten:

Features are a bit simplistic and UI isn't as friendly as it could be, but that's simply an aesthetics observation.

My experience with TeamMood

Opmerkingen: I find it beneficial that I can aggregate mood input & mood trends for my squad automatically. It helps to oversee when it is time to celebrate and identify problems, if any, early. Then during retrospective with the team we can celebrate! or discuss and understand more what is causing the poor morale.

Pluspunten:

This is a simple and quick efficiency and productivity tool for use with Iteration Managers/Managers. It is anonymous and optional which allows people to be more sincere about their feelings. It is an AGILE best practice- a mood marble tool that helps to assess the mood of a team easily so that problems can be identified and addressed early. The analytics are a tool for the team for continuous improvement.

Minpunten:

Overall - None. Only one small thing, I remember when I first started to leverage the tool is, at sign on, I have to move off from the landing page into the Team settings on the upper right hand corner of the Tool.

Great way to monitor the mood of my team in these difficult times

Pluspunten:

For the users it is anonymous and very easy to use.

Minpunten:

it starts a web-browser session. Ofcourse; it's the way it works. But on my old laptop this takes some time. And although it is not more than a second of 5, I feel myself impatiently waiting to continue my normal job. Terrible, that 5 seconds feels like ages sometimes; I feel ashamed about it. So...a very minor point it is.

As a leader who cares about your team this is a great tool to understand them and help them improve.

Opmerkingen: A richer conversation with my teams where we can transparently discuss issues and how collectively improve things for us.

Pluspunten:

It highlights issues your team may be having. It can give you good indications of days they may be more impacted as it can clearly show you a trend.

Minpunten:

Be able to export the graphs not only the data. I have to generate the graphs manually and it's a bit inconvenient.

Good application for capturing team mood and fostering communication

Opmerkingen: insights into how people are feeling. Gives me the opportunity to spot an engagement issue and talk things out with team members before things get out of hand.

Pluspunten:

It's easy to use and it's pretty neat to see the team members actually using the comments as another way to share and communicate.

Minpunten:

Reporting still needs a bit of work. In an enterprise environment where your stuck with an old version of IE there are some features that just don't work as nice as with a good browser.

Easy software that make a real change in management

Opmerkingen: Better team spririt! Better attractivity

Pluspunten:

First, the simplicity of the integration. You just need to add the email of your team to use the soft. Then, it is very easy to use. You just need one click per day. Finally, the fact that it is user oriented and not company oriented. That's pretty new!

Minpunten:

The design of the daily email could be improved. Otherwise, the email could be more attractive and dynamic.

Excellent for "taking the team's temperature"

Opmerkingen: Great experience.

Pluspunten:

Ease of Use. Because the product is easy to use, people use it more regularly, allowing me to get data that is factual and timely.

Minpunten:

None. TeamMood gets done what it needs to get done.

A must have for any organisation that cares about its people

Pluspunten:

Submitting a daily mood is very easy and the dashboards are clear, to the point, and we use them exactly as presented each month in our Townhalls to see how we're all collectively feeling.

Minpunten:

None; it does exactly what it needs to do, any more features over and beyond are continuned icing on the cake.

Great team feedback

Pluspunten:

My Team likes sharing our mood, it help us to make useful retrospective in order to improve our way of work together

Minpunten:

nothing very important some people does not understand why we ask them for there daily mood. Very important to explain the "why" to the team

Great simple software - does exactly what it says on the label!

Opmerkingen: Great! I have recommended to peers who oversee teams.

Pluspunten:

It's super easy to use, set up, deploy, add people and the pricing was always clear. The guys behind the software are so helpful and always listen to ideas for improvement, even incorporating those into the tool as we were using it.

Minpunten:

Nothing. We are actually no longer using this software because we moved to use another piece of software which had the functionality of Teammood built into it.

Nice, easy to use mood & chat tool. Great to get things off you mind and to share experiences.

Pluspunten:

Anonymous chat. Also good to see what the team is feeling.

Minpunten:

Word cloud could use improvement. Integration with Webex Teams needs some user interface tweeks.

A very good (if not essential) indicator, very easy to display too with smashing (dashing fork).

Opmerkingen: it's a simple tool, doing one thing and doing it good.

Pluspunten:

- Easy to setup - Integration to slack - Great charts Just simple to use, well admitted by users.

Brilliant engagement tool

Opmerkingen: Excellent support from the rep and the team, no matter what challenges we threw at them. The tool keeps evolving in response to customer demand.

Pluspunten:

Users can read what others are saying / feeling so once you provide your mood and commentary (anonymously), you know it won't disappear into a corporate black hole. It's really easy to use, the interface is great and the analytics are very impactful for use in internal presentations.

Minpunten:

I really can't identify anything I didn't like!

Simple way of expressing your mood

Opmerkingen: good, would like moods to appear faster

Pluspunten:

Easy to use, can sent up notifications to have email reminder for employees to express mood of the day

Minpunten:

can take some time to update. For example if i submit my mood, i do not see it until later. By then i do not come back to look at the moods for the day, I just look at it the next day.

Team Mood Experience

Opmerkingen: very much satisfactory and we are just on the beginning.

Pluspunten:

It is easy an simple to use. you just need to make a simple input on a emoji. no need to jump between options. Just give your input reflecting your feeling once per day.

Minpunten:

I have not detected any negative feature

Innovation platform for future

Opmerkingen: - I can see how some daily changes mirrored in team mood.
- Very important if your team working from anywhere

Pluspunten:

- User friendly as Apple, we don't need handbook :-) - Fast implementation to processes, - Daily data - Support form TeamMood - Sharing comments in the team

Minpunten:

Now I don't have ideas

Listen to your team before everything goes wrong

Opmerkingen: Very good and well designed product.

Pluspunten:

The best thing about the software is its anonymity and ease of use.

Minpunten:

I needed to identify whether there exist team members continually votes "bad" or "hard" so that I would know someone in my team is locked in bad mood. Thus, I can be proactive.
