WHAT IS PULSECHECK™

From Silence to Confidence

The problem

Someone on your team is struggling. You have noticed it. But you do not have the words to start the conversation - and so you wait.

The system

PulseCheck™ gives leaders and their teams the language, the framework, and the confidence to have the conversations that matter. Before pressure shows up in performance, absence, or attrition.

The result

Leaders who check in earlier. Teams who feel seen. Organisations that protect their most valuable asset - their people.

Hidden Struggles

workers do not feel comfortable telling their manager they are struggling. And that number is rising.

THE THREE ZONES

Signals, Not Diagnoses

These are signals, not diagnoses. You are looking for what changes - not what someone looks like on any given day.

🟢

Green - Stretch

High commitment and output. The check-in is not a concern - it is a habit that keeps the good stress good.

🟡

Amber - Withdrawal

Something has shifted in how they show up. Quieter than usual, or more irritable than normal. Either way, it is a change. This is the most important zone to act on early.

🔴

Red - Endurance

Exhausted, disengaged, and likely off sick. Or still delivering - but the person behind the work is not the same as before.

WHAT IS INSIDE THE DECK

52 cards. One conversation system.

  • 45 prompt cards across Green, Amber and Red zones
  • 1:1 and team conversation types
  • Leader and team member sides
  • TALK Framework card
  • Reflection card · Additional Prompts card · General Team Check-In card
  • Instruction cards

Every card has a leader side and a team member side. The system works in both directions — because sometimes the person who needs to start the conversation is not the manager.
