Who Are We?
Traditional employee engagement surveys focus on how individuals feel about their work—asking questions like "I feel valued" or "I would recommend this company." While these insights are valuable, they often miss how teams actually function together.
Team Signals takes a different approach. It's a formative, team-based assessment that helps teams reflect on their identity and working style. By starting with "Who Are We?", teams develop a shared understanding of what drives their collaboration, performance, and engagement.

What does "Who Are We?" explore?
-
Work preferences – What tasks energize each team member? The Team Management Profile helps uncover which roles people naturally gravitate toward and how this shapes team balance.
-
Risk orientation – Do individuals focus more on opportunities or potential obstacles? The Opportunities-Obstacles Quotient (QO2) Profile reveals how your team navigates uncertainty and makes decisions.
-
Work values – What values motivate people at work? The Window on Work Values Profile uncovers the core drivers behind behaviour and values alignment.
These three dimensions—preferences, risk orientation, and values—form the Workplace Behaviour Pyramid, a comprehensive framework for understanding how teams operate beneath the surface.
Why "Who Are We?" matters
When teams don’t understand their internal dynamics, miscommunication and misalignment can slow progress. But when individuals understand themselves—and each other—they manage conflict more constructively, make better decisions, and bring out the best in one another.
Investing in team self-awareness builds a foundation for trust, alignment, and sustained performance.
Reflect on your team
- Do we understand what makes each other tick?
- Are strengths being underused or overlooked?
- Do differences lead to tension—or innovation?
- How adaptable are we when working outside our preferences?
