Track Post-Change Sentiment: See How Your Team Feels After Major Change --- With Evidence, Not Assumptions

TL;DR: What this template does

This template analyzes employee feedback gathered after a transformation event (e.g., reorg, system rollout, policy change) to assess how the change is landing.
Upload feedback and get a sentiment-based report by team, level, and topic.

Why post-change silence is risky

People may nod along publicly, but disengage privately.

This template helps you detect how employees actually feel — so you can reinforce what’s working and address what’s not.

Definition: Post-change sentiment reflects how employees are emotionally responding to transformation efforts — captured through qualitative feedback and conversational cues.

How does this template work?

Step 2: Analyze — Onboarding Experience Grid
