Manager Effectiveness Platform

The manager effectiveness platform that shows you what your managers actually do.

Confirm is the only manager effectiveness platform built on ONA data, not surveys. See which managers develop talent, build strong teams, and drive retention — and which ones are causing your best people to leave.

You have 50 managers. You don't actually know which ones are good.

You run engagement surveys. You get NPS scores. You have performance ratings for your managers from their managers. And yet — you're still surprised when a top team's best people start leaving. You're still shocked when you discover a manager has quietly damaged team culture for two years.

The surveys aren't working. They're lagged (you find out 6 months too late), biased (people don't say what they really think about their boss), and superficial (they measure how employees feel, not what's actually happening to the organization).

Meanwhile, the cost of a bad manager compounds every quarter. Bad managers cause 50-80% of all voluntary turnover in most companies. They damage team members' career trajectories. They create the kind of psychological safety problems that don't show up until a Glassdoor review or an all-hands walkout.

Confirm gives you a better signal. One that's continuous, objective, and predictive — so you can intervene before a problem manager ruins another team.

ONA reveals what surveys hide

Organizational Network Analysis measures the actual health of a manager's team through collaboration patterns — not opinions. When you look at the network data over time, great managers show predictable patterns: balanced team connectivity, strong cross-functional reach, equitable distribution of collaboration. Poor managers show the opposite: fragmented teams, high centrality on themselves, and declining connectivity among high performers.

Team health indicators

Track connectivity, information flow, and collaboration distribution across each manager's team. Healthy teams show balanced, distributed networks. At-risk teams show warning patterns 3-6 months before attrition.

Comparative benchmarking

Compare manager effectiveness across your company. Identify your top 20% of managers so you can learn from them — and your bottom 20% so you can intervene.

Catch the retention risk before it's too late

High-performing employees who are underappreciated or underdeveloped by their manager show distinctive ONA patterns before they leave: declining cross-functional engagement, reduced collaboration with their direct team, and increasing isolation from influence networks. Confirm surfaces these patterns as retention risk scores so HR can intervene — with conversations, role changes, or coaching — while there's still time.

Predictive attrition signals

Confirm's models identify retention risk 3-6 months before typical survey data. That's enough time to intervene, have a conversation, or make a retention offer.

Manager attribution

Understand which managers correlate with attrition risk and which correlate with retention and promotion. Build accountability into development and performance decisions.

Help managers improve — not just grade them

Measuring manager effectiveness is only valuable if managers can act on it. Confirm's AI coaching delivers GROW framework guidance, conversation templates, and bias detection directly in Slack and Teams — so managers get help in the moment they need it. When ONA data shows a manager's team is becoming fragmented, Confirm proactively surfaces coaching recommendations.

Real-time coaching in Slack/Teams

When a manager is about to have a difficult conversation, give difficult feedback, or make a calibration decision, Confirm's AI coach is available in the tools they already use.

Development recommendations

Based on ONA patterns and management behavior, Confirm generates targeted development recommendations — not generic training, but specific coaching based on actual gaps.
