🧾 The Key Steps in the Process

1. Understand Your Responsibility and Role

As a leader, you’re close to the day-to-day work and best positioned to turn feedback into action. Your main tasks are to:

Read and understand your team’s results
Invite employees into a dialogue about the data
Create actions that make a real difference in daily work
Follow up and share progress over time

👉 Woba is not an extra project — it’s a tool to help you succeed as a leader.

2. Familiarize Yourself with Your Data

Start by opening your Risk Map and exploring the categories — or download a report. This gives you:

An overview of your team’s strengths and challenges
Insight into factors driving well-being and risk (e.g., workload, collaboration, leadership)
A breakdown of responses across different questions

Make sure to also read employees’ comments, as these often provide important insights into why the results look the way they do.

👉 Use data as a compass — not a definitive answer.

3. Invite Dialogue with Your Team

Employees need to feel their feedback makes a difference.

Build trust by emphasizing anonymity and the purpose of the dialogue
Share key insights openly with your team — both the positives and areas for improvement
Ask how they experience the results in practice and how you can collectively strengthen team well-being

👉 Dialogue is as important as data — together they build trust and deeper understanding.

4. Create an Action Plan Together with Your Team

After discussing the results, choose 1–2 areas to focus on.

Use Woba’s action plan module to set up concrete initiatives
Set clear goals and deadlines
Assign responsibilities (this can include yourself and team members)

👉 Small, visible improvements are better than big plans that never get executed.

5. Follow Up and Adjust Continuously

To create lasting improvements, it’s essential to:

Follow up on action plans in team meetings
Share progress and recognize efforts
Use future surveys to evaluate whether your initiatives are working
Adjust course if something isn’t having the desired effect

👉 Repeated follow-up shows employees their voice truly matters.

💡 Tips for a Strong Start as a Leader with Woba

Be transparent: Share both strengths and challenges openly with your team
Prioritize: Focus on a few, but important initiatives
Use data as a starting point — but always invite employees into a safe and open dialogue
Set aside time for follow-up — and celebrate progress, big or small

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How do I talk to my team about the results?
