Leadership & Engagement
So much of a team’s time and energy goes into the conversations that come too late: the frustration that built up quietly, the work that slowed while no one said anything. Leadership and Engagement gives your managers an early read on their team, and you and HR the picture across every team, so the right conversations happen in time, while they still lift focus, energy, and how it feels to be there.
The blind spot
Day to day, you can’t really see how a team is doing. Whether the workload is sustainable, whether a good manager is quietly burning out their best people, whether someone strong has already started looking. None of it shows up until a resignation lands, and by then the decision is made.
The signals were usually there for weeks. The problem was never a lack of care. It was that nobody had a clear way to see them in time to do anything.
A resignation is the first hard signal most leaders get, and it arrives too late to change the outcome.
Beyond a gut feel and a once-a-year survey, most managers have no real read on how their team is tracking.
Strong people rarely make noise on the way out. They leave for leadership reasons long before they leave for pay.
How it works
The patterns are only as good as the answers behind them. So the whole system is built to earn honest ones: simple enough that people actually respond, and safe enough that they’re honest. Get both, and the responses build into a clear read of how each team is really tracking.
How your team responds
A short question lands in Slack or Teams, where your team already works. One tap and they’re done. No scoring, no right answers, and no single answer on show.

One question, one tap, in Slack or Teams. Seconds to answer, with no scoring and no right answers.
No one sees any individual answer. That’s what makes people candid, and candid answers are the only kind worth reading.
Honest responses build into a clear read of how each team is tracking over time. Ploomo points each manager to what’s worth a conversation, and supports their judgment rather than replacing it.
Managers respond while things are small. You and HR see it across the business, and where a leader needs support.
The manager’s view
A manager runs an insight for her team, reads what’s building in the patterns, and turns it into a short action plan. Ploomo does the noticing, so she can focus on the conversation.
The HR and leadership view
HR and the leadership team see how every team is tracking, then drill into the one that needs attention, and the leader who needs support. Patterns over time, never individual answers.
Included for everyone
Leadership and Engagement comes with one-to-one coaching for everyone on the team. Confidential, independent of their manager, and there whether or not anything is wrong.
It’s where a signal becomes support. A manager preparing for a hard conversation, or a team member working something through, has somewhere to take it. See how coaching works.
Why it matters
Retention isn’t a perks problem, it’s a leadership one. People leave managers and situations, not companies. Leadership and Engagement won’t keep anyone for you. It gives your leaders an early, honest read on how their people are doing, and the support to act on it, so they can lead well enough that the good ones want to stay.
