Setting up teams and measuring Connection

This article outlines the simple process of measuring Connection at a team level, so that you can gather meaningful insights about your team’s dynamics. By requesting these insights, you enable opportunities for reflection and improvement, helping your team build stronger relationships and work more effectively together.

Make sure all team members are added as colleagues

1. Log in to your Connect account.
2. Navigate to the “People’’ tab and select “Colleagues”.
3. If you are an admin of your account, select ‘Invite colleagues’ and input the email addresses of those you wish to add to your team. If you are only a viewer, you will need to reach out to an admin in your organisation to invite colleagues.
4. The colleagues will then receive an email invitation and will have to create their own profile.

Create your team

1. Navigate to the “Connect” tab and select “Teams”.
2. Select ‘Create a team’. You need a minimum of three people on your team to request their insights. You cannot add more than 50 people.
3. You will immediately see a summary of the team’s behavioural profile for all team members who have already completed their Behaviour assessment. This is not tied to Connection insights; however, it has its own unique function. Read more about it here.
4. Select ‘Request insights’ under ‘Team Connection’ and choose a completion date.

The team members will now receive an email invitation to complete the Connection. They have until the completion date to do so, after which no responses will be accepted.                         

Once completed, each team member will be able to view their own sense of connection towards their team. However, the combined view of all team members’ results will only be accessible to the team creator after at least 3 individuals have completed the Connection measure.

Facilitating a discussion about a team’s Connection

1. Navigate to the team you created and select ‘View details’ in the Team Connection section to expand their insights.
2. Review the ‘Overall Connection’ score for a snapshot of how connected the team currently feels. Then focus on the dimensions with the highest scores, as they may be a good indicator of your team’s strengths.

     3. Explore the colour indicators by dimension:

1. 1. Green: High connection
   2. Yellow: Moderate connection
   3. Orange: Low connection

Use this information to facilitate a team discussion. Summarise it in a way that helps you understand and communicate key takeaways.

Discussions about team connection matter because they create space for reflection, where strengths can be explored, challenges surfaced, and everyone has a voice in shaping a supportive environment. These conversations foster trust and inclusivity while driving actionable steps to improve collaboration. Ultimately, they strengthen team cohesion and effectiveness.
