The Better Together Framework is a free, research-backed methodology for measuring 5 dimensions of team wellness. Run it manually with your team, or automate it with Tribu.
Based on research from Google, Harvard, Gallup, WHO, and Deloitte
77% of professionals experience burnout at their current job. 85% of employees withhold information from their managers. By the time someone quits, the warning signs were there months ago.
Annual engagement surveys are too slow. They measure what happened, not what's happening. By the time you read the results, your best people may already be interviewing.
The Better Together Framework is a different approach. Instead of long surveys once or twice a year, it measures 5 specific dimensions continuously, using 2 research-backed questions per day.
Each backed by peer-reviewed organizational psychology research
Takes ~30 seconds. No survey fatigue, no context switching
The framework is free and open. Run it with a spreadsheet, a Slack bot, or whatever works
Each radar maps to a specific dimension of team health, grounded in decades of organizational research. Together, they form a complete picture of how your team is really doing.

Click on any dimension to explore what it measures, example questions, and the research behind it.
Choose where your team answers daily questions. Slack, a shared spreadsheet, or a standup addition — whatever has the lowest friction.
Each day, ask one question from one of the 5 dimensions. Rotate through all 5 over the week using a 1–5 scale.
Average the daily scores per dimension to build a weekly radar. Plot it on a spider chart — patterns emerge within 2–3 weeks.
Share the team radar in your weekly retro. Focus on the lowest dimension. Ask: "What's one thing we could change this week?" Then do it.
Everyone has a part to play. Here's what to expect so the whole team starts aligned from day one.
