Manager
Team Dashboard
You need active Manager access to use Team Overview. It is scoped to the active direct reports assigned to you, not to every person in your organization, and it shows engagement signals for enablement rather than judgments about ability or wellbeing.
Scope, access, and your own assessment
The Team Overview source returns the people currently assigned as your active direct reports. If a person is not assigned to you, their profile does not appear in this manager view. A Client Admin can also assign you a short, private Manager Assessment about your team context; it is separate from anything shown to the team.
- Organization membership alone does not make someone your direct report.
- A Client Admin controls the organization assignment that determines this scope.
- An empty assigned team is shown as empty; Stride does not substitute the whole organization or sample people.
- If you manage more than one team, choose All teams in the switcher to see every team's roster grouped by team, with a summary tile per team. A member not yet assigned to any of your teams is shown in an Unassigned group rather than being hidden.
Read the summary tiles and roster
The tiles at the top of Team Overview summarize your current team scope. Each tile has a small information icon that opens How we measure at that metric, with its formula and when it refreshes.
Below the tiles, Team Members lists each person with an Active, Not Started, or Needs Support badge, their level, completed challenges, current streak, and when they were last active. Open a row to see their department, stated goal, onboarding survey status, and XP.
- Active Members: how many of your direct reports are active inside your organization's engagement window, shown out of your team size.
- Avg Streak: the average current streak in days. It is hidden when your organization has turned off streaks or gamification, and it shows Unavailable if any member's streak cannot be confirmed.
- Completed: four team totals for Quests, Micro-Learnings, Trainings, and Challenges. The Quests total only counts completions Stride has recorded, so it can be lower than every quest a person has ever finished.
- Team Health: the share of your team currently counted as active.
- Leaderboard Avg: your team's average rank on the organization-wide leaderboard, counting only members who have a rank.
- When your organization has turned off individual metrics for managers, tiles use team-level figures only and show Withheld instead of a zero if your team is smaller than the minimum reporting size. A Team Metrics card shows the same team-level figures.
- Individual behavioral profiles are private to each person and are never shown to managers.
Read team health
Team Overview combines the assigned roster with team-level activity, streaks, and completion counts. The Current Progress card for your saved goal is on Team Goals, not on this page.
- An activity banner can show when the team's active share is below the configured threshold.
- A goal banner can show when a team's goal tracks a progress metric with a live value and that value is below the Goal progress floor your Client Admin set in Team Health Thresholds (50 percent of the goal's own target by default). A goal set to Not tracked (statement only), or one whose progress is unavailable, never triggers it.
- When individual metrics are withheld, the page shows a privacy-preserving team roll-up or Withheld instead of a made-up zero.
- The shortcut row at the top of Team Overview is yours to configure: pick up to 5 shortcuts from the catalog on Manager Settings, in the order you want them to appear.
Note: A dashboard number is a current signal for coaching and enablement. It is not a psychological-safety, self-assessment, ability, or wellbeing judgment.
Review Needs Support and send a nudge
Needs Support can identify a current direct report whose engagement signal may benefit from a check-in, based on activity and streak data. It does not evaluate ability, wellbeing, or psychological safety.
- High: no recorded activity inside your organization's inactivity window.
- Medium: recent activity, but the current streak has stalled, or the activity date could not be confirmed.
- A person who has not started yet shows Not Started instead and is not treated as a support risk.
- Open Team Overview and read the Needs Support entry and its engagement context.
- Choose Send Nudge for the assigned report when that action is available.
- Wait for the success confirmation that the nudge was persisted; if the page reports a failure, retry rather than assuming it was sent.
Note: No direct report is a valid empty state. It does not mean every organization member is eligible for a manager nudge.
Request a team member
If a person should join your team but is not yet in Stride, use the request flow from Team Overview. The request goes to your organization’s membership process; it does not directly grant access or alter reporting relationships.
- Open Request a team member from Team Overview.
- Enter the person's name and work email address, then check the recipient before submitting.
- Submit the request and wait for the organization's membership decision.
- After the person is invited and assigned to you, refresh Team Overview to confirm the direct-report roster.
Note: You can request people onto your own team only. You cannot browse or add another Manager's direct reports.
Note: A faster option lives on the Manager Settings page: adding a member there by email works immediately if the person is unassigned or already on one of your other teams. If they are on a different manager's team, the attempt is not made silently; it is instead sent to an admin to resolve.
Reviewing prompts
You can recommend a prompt or request changes for an active direct report, but a Manager recommendation is not final publication approval. The decision stays within your direct-report scope and follows the Prompt Library lifecycle.
Open Prompt Approvals in the Manager navigation to see the prompts waiting for your recommendation.
