For CEOs, chiefs of staff and leadership teams

Monday's leadership meeting runs on last week's acknowledgement rates, not on a feeling.

Three numbers about your own communication: who confirmed it, what people said when asked, and who was reached. On one screen, printed to PDF for the board pack.

20%of employees worldwide were engaged in 2025, by Gallup's measure. Leadership communication is one of the few levers you hold directly, and most leaders cannot say whether last week's message landed.Source: Gallup, State of the Global Workplace 2026. Industry figure, not a Kayden Connect result.

The situation

The restructure was announced on Wednesday. By Friday, nobody can say whether it landed.

The chief executive of a 240-person company announces a restructure: an email, a short video, a chat post. By Friday she wants to know whether it landed. The comms lead has an open rate, a view count and a feeling from the corridor. The board asks about morale next week. The answer is an anecdote.

  • Open rate, view count, corridor feeling.

How it works

Four screens, all shipped, in every industry on this site.

1Publish

One announcement, approved, pinned, with acknowledgement on.

It holds the top of the feed while pinned. On HQ an approval rule holds it until the right people have cleared it, and the approval is logged with who and when.

Every plan · approval before publishing on HQState of the Sector 2026
A pinned announcement card requiring acknowledgement, with an Acknowledge button and 226 of 240 acknowledged, 94%.
One tap to confirm
2Record

Completion by department, on Friday.

Branch tellers 118 of 126. Field agents 46 of 48. The department that has not confirmed is visible on Friday, before the board asks. One reminder to the pending, at most once every four hours.

3Ask

Then ask, and let people answer without a name.

A pulse survey answered in the feed. Anonymous mode writes no respondent identity, and the product says nothing stronger than that. Results by department, with groups under five hidden.

Executive dashboard: 231 of 240 active users, engagement 1,512 up 12.6%, pulse score 4.0 of 5 from 188 responses, printable.
Pulse survey average by branch, five rows from 88% to 60%. Anonymous mode, no respondent identity stored.
4Prove

The board pack number, with the audit trail behind it.

On HQ the executive dashboard prints to PDF from the browser, and the audit log records every approval, publish, reminder and export with actor, timestamp and IP address. The question "who signed this off" has an answer.

What the record gives youA monthly pulse, answered in the feed without a name, tells you what people said when asked. It is your number, not a benchmark.

What it does not do.

No single health score.A communication health score is roadmap and is not sold.
No AI weekly brief.Written insight callouts on HQ today; the AI summary is roadmap.
Anonymous is not untraceable.No respondent identity is written. Rows still carry a workspace id and a timestamp.
