About AskYourTeam

AskYourTeam was established in April 2014, after the founders developed a tool for business leaders that enables them to pinpoint exactly what’s holding their operations back from achieving the performance levels leaders’ want, across the organisation and in each of their teams.

The tool comprises a cloud based staff survey which garners anonymous feedback from an organisation’s staff members to enable its owners/managers/board to pinpoint areas in an organisation that are contributing to high performance and, importantly, the areas where material improvements can be achieved.

Leaders can ascertain exactly where in the business to direct their effort – no more guesswork or assumptions.

The process includes getting peoples’ ideas for improvement and re-testing functionality, whereby leaders reengage staff via subsequent surveys to obtain feedback to evaluate the effectiveness of action plans in driving desired change/s in their specific area.

It’s an effective way for generating continuous involvement of an organisation’s greatest asset, its people.

AskYourTeam has made significant strides building its client base, which now includes a range of listed NZ companies, government departments, Local Government Authorities, Primary Health Organisations, Member Organisations as well as a wide range of privately owned businesses with as few as 6 employees and up to several thousand.

It has been used internationally and is available in several languages.

The service offering has been developed in collaboration with, (and is regularly reviewed by), the University of Waikato’s highly regarded business school of management..
