How Clover ERA Works | Daily Team Signals for Managers

The Daily Check-in

One question. 30 seconds. Completely anonymous.

Each person on your team gets one question per day through the app. It takes less than 30 seconds. No names attached. No way to trace who said what.

That's the point. People are honest when there's no risk. The problems they'd never bring up in a 1-on-1 surface immediately when there's no consequence attached.

Within a week, you start seeing patterns. Within two weeks, you know exactly where your team feels strong and where confidence is dropping.

The six things that determine whether someone stays or starts looking.

Every check-in maps to one of six CLOVER dimensions. Each one is a proven driver of retention.

Communication

Is information flowing in both directions? Does your team feel heard when they raise something?

When it drops: Your team has stopped telling you what's going wrong. Problems build in silence until someone resigns and lists "communication" in the exit interview.

Learning

Are people growing? Do they feel like they're developing new skills or just repeating the same work?

When it drops: People feel stuck. The ones with options start exploring them. The ones without options disengage in place.

Opportunity

Can people see a future here? Is there somewhere to go, or does the path ahead look flat?

When it drops: Your best people start browsing job boards. Not because they hate the job. They can't see what's next.

Vulnerability

Can people be honest without risk? When something's wrong, do they say it or hide it?

When it drops: You get a team that says "everything's fine" in every meeting while building resentment underneath. The resignation comes out of nowhere because nobody felt safe flagging the problem.

Enablement

Do people have what they need to do their job well? Are blockers being removed or ignored?

When it drops: Frustration builds. Good people start feeling like they're fighting the system instead of doing their work. Productivity falls before anyone leaves.

Reflection

Do people feel recognized? Is their contribution visible to the people who matter?

When it drops: People start to feel invisible. The work doesn't change, but the energy behind it does. Discretionary effort disappears first. Then the person follows.

These aren't abstract concepts. They show up in your bi-weekly report as scores. When communication drops on your team, you'll see it within two weeks, not two quarters. The Action Hub gives you specific things to do about it that fit into your working day. Small adjustments. Not another initiative. Not another meeting.

Your Report

Every two weeks, you get a clear picture.

Not a 40-page deck. A clear summary of where your team feels strong and where confidence is dropping. With specific actions you can take that week.

Small things. Practical things. The kind of thing you can do between meetings without adding another system to manage.

A two-point drop in how someone rates communication isn't a crisis. It's a signal. The report tells you what to do about it before it becomes one.

The Action Hub

The dashboard shows you patterns. The Action Hub shows you what to do about them.

Micro-actions and mini-actions that fit into your working day. A five-minute conversation. A quick message to the team. A project reassignment that takes ten minutes but prevents three months of frustration.

You don't need to become a different manager. You just need visibility into what's actually happening, and a clear next step to take.

What you see depends on your role.

Team Leads and Managers

You see your team's data and your actions. Six CLOVER dimension scores. Trends over time. Specific micro-actions tailored to what your team is telling you this week.

Senior Leaders

You see team-level patterns across departments. Which teams are healthy. Which are showing early warning signals. Where intervention could prevent the next unexpected departure.

Never individual names. Never individual scores. Team-level only. Retention is an outcome, not surveillance.

Here's what happens when you bring Clover ERA to your team.
