Burnout among software developers has become harder to spot, especially since many developers are now working remotely. I witnessed firsthand its effects at my own tech company with silent resignations caused by stress and overwork. I never really knew how to start the conversation to find out how I could help. So, I created hay for Slack, a simple and unintrusive way to check up on your developers’ happiness and job satisfaction.

WHO THIS IS FOR:

Engineering managers and technical team leaders looking to gauge their developers’ happiness and job satisfaction with a survey — right in Slack!

VALUE:

Run short wellbeing surveys in Slack. Only 5 seconds to fill out. No need to switch contexts.

Get automated alerts about your developers’ wellbeing.

Foster a culture of honesty, engagement, and open communication.

Detect burnout before it impacts productivity, or you lose your best coders.

Have meaningful conversations that help your developers stay balanced, focused, and happy.

USE CASES:

Check up on your developers’ wellbeing during busy and stressful times.

Find out how your developers are progressing on projects, in teams, and at the company.

Run limitless surveys on autopilot without monitoring and triaging data.

Save time by not having to manually gather and distribute feedback.

Developer-friendly. Perfect if you don’t want a complex, over-engineered HR tool.
