Section 1: Launching the Health Check
The first step in the action cycle is launching a diagnostic survey like the Health Check or another strategic survey, which provides valuable insights into your company’s current state and identifies areas that need improvement. As soon as you launch the survey, you can view the results on your dashboard, giving you immediate visibility into your organization’s performance. You can also track progress and receive updates on how your employees are responding to the survey by checking our news section. These updates provide early insight into the response rate of your surveys, as well as other relevant information.
Section 2: Analyzing the Data
Once the majority of employee survey responses have been submitted, typically after two weeks, it’s time to dig into the data. In the atwork suite, you can explore the dashboard to see how your company is performing overall and how different segments, such as departments or different age groups score relative to the overall benchmark. The platform will also provide targeted recommendations for the areas that require the most attention. By analyzing the data, you can gain valuable insights into your company’s strengths and weaknesses, as well as the specific areas that require attention. Armed with this knowledge, you can take informed actions to drive progress and improve your company’s performance.
For Champion and Expert customers: If you’re curious about what’s behind the scores, you can use our AI-based summary of comments to explore the key topics discussed by employees. Each comment is classified into specific action topics, providing a deeper understanding of the underlying issues. This summary will be available in your news section shortly after your health check.
Section 3: Finding the Right Action
After analyzing the data, you can take action by combining the insights gained from the diagnostic survey with your own expertise and experience to identify practices that could improve your company’s performance. You may also consider ideas that have come up in other forums, such as town hall meetings.
For Champion and Expert customers: To help you get started, the atwork platform offers suggested actions based on your Health Check results and employee comments. You can take these action suggestions as inspiration or apply them directly to your company.

Section 4: Setting the Action
After identifying the right action(s) to take, it’s important to follow best practices to ensure that the actions are actually taken. This is crucial for several reasons, including:
- Clarifying goals and objectives: A clear action plan helps ensure that the people, whether that is HR or Employees understands the goals and objectives of the actions being taken.
- Aligning actions with your business strategy: Actions that are aligned with your company’s overall strategy are more likely to be successful and produce meaningful results.
- Enhancing accountability: When tasks are assigned and deadlines are set, individuals are more likely to take responsibility for their actions and ensure that they are completed.
- Improving communication: A clear action plan helps facilitate communication among team members and ensures that everyone is on the same page.
- Providing a clear roadmap for evaluating the actions along the way: By setting a clear action plan, you can track progress and evaluate whether the actions being taken are producing the desired results.

Section 5: Implementing the Action
After setting the action plan, it’s time to turn your employee initiatives into a reality. You now have the knowledge, tools, and resources to make a positive impact on the actions you set. The next step is to put your plans into action and start making a difference.
