Congratulations on the launch! Looks like a useful tool to help make team members more happy and productive. Interested to know if the amount of code in commits is taken into account?
Tomasz Korzeniowski
@oleksandr_zhabin Thanks Oleksandr! Yes, and it also reflects in the visualization with graph size and lines of code.

@korzonek Nice!

Seems like a great idea! We can really have great colleagues, but lose them to burnout, so it's nice to have a tool to catch the problem before it's too late. To be honest, I think it can be used in other industries too. For example, I know that people in marketing tend to overwork, managing all possible marketing channels every day 🤔 Anyway, great job and congratulations on the launch!

@michaelshver Thanks Michael! Definitely, and making sure that wellbeing and happiness are checked is super important. In fact, it appears to play a huge role as to why devs quit OR quit their managers as they fail to address important work-life balance issues and satisfaction.

Really interesting approach! Boosting and maintaining team’s productivity is a permanent challenge. Does your tool offer some ideas for improvement when the team’s performance is lagging behind?
Tomasz Korzeniowski
@shambalyov Thank you for showing interest! We try to look at everything in context, and when certain risk factors appear, we address them in a 1:1 meeting. Of course, addressing this might be a challenge but with honest and open feedback, EMs should have enough data at their fingertips to tackle any problem.

When companies have the possibility of seeing this data in real time FROM THE SOURCE (aka employees) it seems crazy not to use it. Excellent work!!

@trent_kennelly Thank you!

HAY's DX Platform seems like a unique approach to dev team wellbeing. How does it measure improvements in team happiness?

I'm always hesitant with any reporting dashboard that is surfacing metrics such as number of commits / developer. This ultimately gets extrapolated to represent individual developer productivity and it's a really poor placeholder metric for that. Engineers who take a greater responsibility in tasks such as: unblocking others, mentoring juniors, interviewing, architecting, review and even engineers who take small easily shippable tasks, or vanity commits for metrics (fixed typo) come out looking more productive in this system. Sure, I like how your tool reaches out to individuals and collects personalised feedback from individual contributors. But surfacing commits as "work output" there at the top of your page, just icks me.
Tomasz Korzeniowski
@jamie_hunt Thank you for your feedback. You made some great points. I've seen in the past many tools used but instead of empowering developers, the tools are used to oppress. We always encourage EMs to look at productivity data in context and look at the developer more holistically.

Congratulations on a successful launch on PH. If it is useful for you, here is a detailed report for your landing page content here - https://drive.google.com/file/d/.... If that is cumbersome, you can also find a summary here - https://drive.google.com/file/d/.... Hope this is useful to you.

This is such a cool product. Just out of curiosity, when you detect that a coworker is getting close to burn out, what have you found works best to help them?
Tomasz Korzeniowski
@jakepage Thanks for showing interest! Actually, we designed it hoping we wouldn't get there with certain checks and balances along the way with pulse checks and seeing productivity slumps. Our best tool is probably the 1:1, which helps to gain more wellbeing insights, and all the data that EMs gather up to that moment.
