StarMeter - Manager Dashboard Resources

StarMeter allows Capital City Bank to obtain feedback from our clients as well as our associates. Only managers with at least 3 direct reports have dashboard access as a confidentiality measure to ensure associates cannot be matched to their individual responses.

If you have another StarMeter role (for example: with the Retail or Digital client experience programs), do the following:

  1. Click your name at the top right.
  2. Expand the User Role drop-down menu.
  3. Select either Manager or Manager of Managers.

 

Click on the tabs below for guidance when accessing your Associate Survey dashboards. 

Viewing Aggregate Scores

The dashboard will begin displaying values as soon as a minimum number of responses (3) have been submitted. Until then, the module displays the following:

The Overview tab shows an aggregate of responses to the numeric score questions of the survey in 3 modules:

MODULE 1: How Are Associates Doing?

  • Displays Key Performance Indicator data, including Response Rate.
    • Response rate is a percent of responses received from the total number of associates invited in the filter group.
  • You cannot change which questions are displayed here, but you can segment the data using filter fields.
 
 

MODULE 2: Focus Areas - Strengths & Opportunities

  • Shows the top and bottom-scoring questions in your reporting structure based on an aggregate of all responses received from associates who report up to you.
    • The default view includes any associates who report up to a manager who reports to you.
  • A quick way to see at a glance where your departments need the most support.
 
 

MODULE 3: How are Associates Doing Over Time?

  • Allows you to view responses for all question groups using the Engagement Driver Filter feature.

 

 
 
 
 

Filtering Results

View filtering options by expanding the Show Filters button on the right-hand side under your user information.

FILTER: Time Period

  • The default selection is Current Wave.
    • Current Wave shows an aggregate of all responses received during the most recent survey as long as the minimum number of responses (3) were received.
  • Last Wave shows results from the previous year's survey as long as the minimum number of responses (3) were received.
 
 

FILTER: Supervisory Org

Managers of managers may use the Supervisory Orgs to better segment dashboard reporting based on your reporting structure.

  • Supervisory Org 1 displays the direct reports of the selected manager.
    • To view your own direct reports, select your own name in this box.
  • If your name is Supervisory Org 2, the results from direct reports of all the managers reporting to you displays.
  • If NO Supervisory Org is selected, you are viewing aggregated results from your entire reporting structure.
 
 

FILTER: Simplified Job Title, Simplified Job Department

  • Managers who have multiple departments reporting to them and/or multiple associates in the same job function will be able to filter and view aggregate scores from those segments.
    • For confidentiality, scores are masked unless a minimum of 3 responses were received from that segment.
 
 

FILTER: Question Group (only available on the Overview tab)

  • Allows you to view average responses for all the numeric score questions by questions group. 
    • These display in the How Are Associates Doing Over Time? module. 
 
 

FILTER: Benchmark

  • Allows you to choose Past Performance instead of Entire Back so you can compare against Last Wave data for your supervisory area.
 
 

FILTER: Calculation

  • Allows you to change the way the data is calculated, if desired.
    • Percent Favorable is the default and the primary measurement of satisfaction, but you may also view as a Percent Unfavorable, Average, and Count.
 
 

 

 
 

Viewing Written Feedback

The Feedback tab allows you to view written comments submitted in response to the 2 open-ended questions.

  • For confidentiality, written comments are masked, and the module will display a feedback-concealed message, until a minimum of 3 are submitted.
 
 

Viewing Comparisons

In the Analytics tab, the Scores table affords the easiest way of viewing a high-level comparison of all the questions in the survey (for example: if you are interested in seeing how your areas compared to the entire bank all in one screen).

After selecting a desired benchmark, see at a glance where your areas scored higher or lower than the benchmark group in the Delta column.

Filters can also be applied to the table to segment by different populations (for example: if you manage different departments or multiple associates who hold the same job role), assuming the minimum number of responses (3) was reached in that group. 

See FILTER: Simplified Job Title, Simplified Job Department

If the minimum response rate was not received, all responses from that Benchmark group will be masked, and asterisks display in place of the data.

 

 
 

Finding Your Opportunities

As an advocate for the associates in your purview, knowing your areas' scores is the first step to understanding how to support your team(s). Your manager dashboard allows you to view aggregated scores from your reporting structure specifically, which allows you to identify and take action on unique needs and opportunities that might be lost when looking only at overall corporate results.

 

Overview > Focus Areas

  • This module is tied to your reporting structure, so it speaks directly to what's working well and where improvement is needed in your area(s) of oversight, specifically.

 

Analytics > Scores

  • Compare against the Entire Bank benchmark and look at areas where your scores are lower.
  • Compare against the Last Wave benchmark and take note of scores that decreased.
