Olaboard analyzes data from where work happens, identifying gaps and providing clear, actionable steps to improve team performance across (by default) three key areas:
MetricsWe connect to your development tools to analyze over 50 unique metrics. Our AI normalizes this data to reveal objective patterns in your team's workload and output. Every metric is benchmarked against team, role, and historical averages, providing the context needed for fair and insightful conversations.
RelationsWe analyze conversations from tickets, public chats and meetings, code reviews to map the invisible network of team interactions. Our AI detects sentiment deviation, flagging potential conflicts or communication breakdowns with strong evidence before they escalate, enabling proactive manager intervention.
WellbeingWe leverage the scientifically validated Burnout Assessment Tool (BAT) framework, but with a key difference: no surveys. Our AI recognize changes in the workload, activity hours, communication sentiments and provide early signals to managers where the problem might arise. Each employee has a sentiment persona at Olaboard - and if it deviates heavily towards a group or individual, we let you know.
How clients use us outside the performance management norm. We strive to help managers daily, besides the monthly report.
We enable the manager-to-employee ratio to rise to 1:10+. Before, it was impossible to help each employee with career planning, performance reviews, coaching, wellbeing, and much more. We're essentially an IDE for managers.
Your dashboard is not showing what happened only, but what to do next. 1:1 notes in Google Docs are fed with agenda items from all connected data sources. We also suggest coaching areas for each employee to achieve their promo goals.
Each employee has a unique expression style. Each team - as well. We keep those in mind, populating leadership guidance on soft skills and work etiquette. We already helped teams avoid brewing conflict and quiet quitting because of burnout.
Recruiting can get from your team leads a more detailed profile of an employee needed in specific teams. On top of technical skills come the work style, communication, and soft skills required to win.
Code repository, tracking system, public chats and messages, team Zoom recordings, the entirety of Google's Workplace suite. We do not access any private messages or calls.
We only process it, never storing the raw data. Only the resulting analysis is cached. We use GCP and OpenAI for processing, without training data.
We are GDPR-compliant. For more details, please refer to our Data Processing Agreement.
Yes. During onboarding, your managers are presented all variables sourced from the connected software stack. Then you can build the dashboard you'd use daily. We will suggest one built around your Competency Framework, which makes people management at your company a well-coordinated effort between different verticals. This approach makes sense for employees.
If such a framework is not yet implemented, you'd be presented the default 3-area one - Metrics, Relations and Wellbeing.
