5. View the results after the survey is closed.

Once the survey period has ended, each team member will be invited to view the team's results. Read more about how to use the Results dashboard here: How to use the results dashboard? – Effectory

6. Discuss the results with the team.

• Discussing the results: The results provide a clear picture of where the team stands and the key areas for improvement. This is the starting point for a meeting about improving team performance. Read more here: After the Scan: Discussion in the team

• Additional tips: The online dashboard in My Effectory additionally helps teams by providing tips & exercises per question. Those can be found in the Tips & Best Practices. Read more here: After the Scan: Tips & Best Practices (formerly Team exercises)

• More help needed? If teams need further help or inspiration, we can provide, on request, a number of exercises or interventions for each question that the team can use.
