Promote employee engagement across your entire organization with Strety Check-Ins! Use Check-Ins to update others on work, build and strengthen culture, and gather feedback in a transparent, team-building way. This guide covers how to create and respond to Check-Ins and how to use them in Company, Team, Person, and Project spaces.
Think of Check-Ins as a way to:
Reduce meetings: Why have a daily status check-in when someone can just write it up when pinged by the system?
Help onboard new employees: Ask "What did you learn this week?"
Foster culture in a remote or hybrid company: Ask "What'd you do this weekend?"
Hold people accountable and be transparent: Ask a simple "What'd you get done this week?" or "What are you most proud of this week?"
Here's an overview video that explains what Check-Ins are, why they're impactful, and how to set them up:
The video above provides a full walkthrough of Check-Ins. For step-by-step written instructions, continue to the sections below.

Space-specific Check-Ins: Company, Team, Person, and Project
You can use Check-Ins in any space type in Strety:
Company: For questions you want to ask your entire organization
Team: For questions specific to the members of a Team Space
Person: For questions specific to a user - great for onboarding
Project: For questions specific to the members in a project
Important: Company Check-Ins are accessible to everyone in the organization. Only members of the Space where a Check-In was created can access and participate in it.
