Outlines the integrated Teams app/Engagement IQ Module for the employee role
Microsoft Teams App Integrated with Performance Pro
A new Microsoft Teams application, integrated with Performance Pro, is now available. This app contains an engagement component that helps employees communicate with their managers about how they are feelings about their work life on a weekly basis and nine engagement pillars that can be interacted with at any time.
The application is available for administrators, managers, and employees. Other upcoming features include a rewards component and a check-in tool.
Accessing Teams
Go to https://teams.microsoft.com.
Log in to your Microsoft account.
Once in Teams, click the Performance Pro icon on the side menu and enter your Performance Pro login. The Client ID will be provided to you by your administrator. Once logged in, you will default to your highest role (manager or employee.)
Employee Dashboard
If you are a manager, the dashboard will default to your manager view. Click “Employee” to switch to your own dashboard.
Employee Card
Your individual employee card displays:
- The Teams’ avatar (or image if uploaded.) This is not the same image as Performance Pro unless they have been set to match in the respective sites.
- Your Performance Pro position.
- View Conversation button – allows you to start/continue a Teams conversation with your manager.
- Start Meeting button - allows you to start a Teams meeting with your manager.
Weekly Pulse
You can enter a response once a week that indicates how you are feeling about your work that week. The week begins on Monday and ends on Sunday. Click on a number response.
Click “Add Comment” if you’d like to enter a comment explaining your pulse rating. A pop-up will open that displays a running list of comments you have made. Insert your cursor at the top of the list and enter your new comment. Click “Save Comment” when you are finished.
Note: Clicking “Clear” will clear the running list of comments.
When you are finished with your response and comment, click “Save Response.” Your manager will be able to view your comment and pulse rating.
Pulse Trend Chart
The Pulse Trend chart displays the trend of your weekly pulse score. There must be at least two data points for the chart to populate. You can choose to view the chart by week, month, or year by using the buttons in the top, right corner.
9 Pillars of Engagement
This area displays the 9 pillars of engagement and the target and current score you have entered. The target score, or the importance you place on this area, is displayed in orange. The last entered score, or how you are currently feeling about this area, is displayed in blue. You can move these scores at any time by clicking and dragging them.
