Great managers = great teams!
The secret behind great teams is great managers.
Manager barometer empowers managers to set up the continuous feedback loop with their team (direct reports) and understand the team's feelings and needs. The manager barometer report shows the overall sentiment of the team and where the biggest opportunities lie for the team's development.

Report of the 1st manager barometer survey will help in setting up the baseline (what is your MRX, strengths, and opportunity areas), and the subsequent surveys report will help in measuring the needle movement (areas with the progress).
The manager barometer report starts with the MRX. This gives the overall sentiment of the team. The team members would have received the manager recommendation question in the manager barometer survey. We have seen in the past that MRX >= 8.5 is a good score.
MRX Question text in the survey: On a scale of 0-10, how likely would you be to recommend your manager to your friends?
MRX score is calculated by averaging the responses of people who have responded to the survey
There are also other quantitative questions in the survey where an employee can share their level of agreement. For example, for the effective 1-1 conversation question ("My manager has effective 1-1 conversation with me"), employees can choose one of the options: Strongly Agree, Agree, Disagree, Strongly Disagree. Based on the employee's responses, a score would be calculated for each question.
10xPeople categorize the scores based on the threshold below:
0 to 6 = Low (highlighted in red) 6 to 7.5 = Average (highlighted in yellow) 7.5 to 10 = Good (highlighted in green)
In the last, there is feedback from the qualitative question responses data. Qualitative feedback provides additional context to understand why behind the scores shown above.
Once you have done multiple surveys, then the report shows the needle movement and highlights the comparison of the scores from the past survey.
