Wellbeing & Praise
Note: Screenshots in this article use data from our internal demo organisation. Any organisation IDs or user IDs visible in the screenshots reference our demo dataset, not your or any other customer's data.
🎯 Overview
Track how your people are feeling and how often they're being recognised, all in one place.
This report:
- Surfaces wellbeing check-ins with the emotion, score, trigger, and any reasons or message attached.
- Surfaces praise sent between colleagues, including the compliment, sender, and receiver.
- Includes per-employee summaries so you can see who's checking in, who's being praised, and how recently.
Use this dashboard to:
- Monitor team sentiment and spot trends in wellbeing scores over time.
- Identify employees and locations where praise is flowing — or where it's quiet.
- Drill into individual moods and recognition records when you want context behind the numbers.
➕ Benefits
- A single view of two key retention signals: how employees feel and how often they're recognised.
- Trend lines over the last 12 months so you can see whether sentiment and praise are moving in the right direction.
- Per-employee summaries that make it easy to follow up with individuals — whether that's checking in on someone whose scores are dipping or celebrating colleagues who consistently get praised.

Wellbeing
Use this tab to understand how your team is feeling, what's driving their mood, and how sentiment is trending over time. A Latest Data Sync indicator sits at the top so you know exactly when the data last refreshed.

- Most Used Emoji — the single most-selected emoji in check-ins, giving you a quick read on the dominant mood.
- Distribution Of Wellbeing By Emotion — pie chart breaking check-ins down by emotion, so you can see the mix of how people are feeling.

📅 Date Filtering
The Date Range filter narrows the wellbeing and praise records included in the cards by when the check-in or praise was logged.
The two trend area charts — Average Wellbeing Score In The Last 12 Months and Number Of Praise Reports In The Last 12 Months — always show a rolling 12-month view and are not affected by Date Range.
❓ Common Questions
Why is the 12-month trend chart unchanged when I adjust the Date Range filter?
The two trend area charts are deliberately fixed to a rolling 12 months so you can always see longer-term direction at a glance, even when the rest of the dashboard is narrowed to a specific period. Use the summary cards and tables to drill into the date range you've selected.
Why can't I see this dashboard or any data?
Wellbeing and praise are sensitive, so only users with the HR Manager or HR & Content Manager role can see check-in and praise content. If you have access but no rows appear, check that the Employee Status filter and any other filters aren't excluding everyone you're trying to view.
