Not sure where to take your team next?
Team Signals is a research-backed team diagnostic built around the proven High-Energy Teams framework. In just minutes, it reveals what’s working, what’s missing, and where to focus first, so your team can align with purpose, act with clarity, and build momentum that lasts.

What is Team Signals?

In today’s fast-paced work environment, annual reviews are too slow to keep up. Team Signals replaces outdated surveys with real-time formative assessment, giving you continuous insight into team engagement, clarity, and performance.

Unlike traditional employee engagement tools, Team Signals is a 32-question multi-rater diagnostic that reveals how aligned your team is across critical performance dimensions, from shared purpose to communication, recognition, and support.

Delivered through a concise, data-rich report, it shows exactly where to take action and how to turn insight into improvement.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is employee engagement and why does it matter?

Employee engagement measures how connected, motivated, and committed team members feel toward their work and organization. High engagement directly correlates with better performance, lower turnover, and increased profitability.

How does Team Signals differ from other employee engagement surveys?

Team Signals uses a focused 8-question framework based on decades of research into high-performance teams. Unlike generic surveys, we provide actionable insights and continuous measurement rather than annual snapshots.

What makes this a formative assessment tool?

Formative assessment provides ongoing feedback for improvement, unlike summative assessment which only evaluates past performance. Team Signals enables continuous team development through regular check-ins and trend analysis.
