PEOPLE & PRIVACY · Workflow idea

Help a team see what needs attention without turning a check-in into employee surveillance.

For work involving voluntary team updates, work status, and a concise daily progress report, check the facts and permissions before taking the next step. Organize submitted work updates into a summary of progress, blockers, and questions for a team lead. Progress reports can omit context or expose personal circumstances and should not become an unreviewed performance score. Tell contributors how updates will be used, limit access, preserve uncertainty and attribution, avoid judging individuals from incomplete entries, and require a manager to approve the report and any follow-up.

Keep in mind

Progress reports can omit context or expose personal circumstances and should not become an unreviewed performance score. Tell contributors how updates will be used, limit access, preserve uncertainty and attribution, avoid judging individuals from incomplete entries, and require a manager to approve the report and any follow-up.
