HHM operates with an agile, project-based model. Instead of fixed teams, projects are advertised across locations and staffed flexibly. This agility brings specific challenges:

‍

• Difficulty in consistently assessing team morale across sites
• Lack of transparency around which teams work especially well together and where support is needed
  Understanding which individuals collaborate well within dynamically formed, cross-location teams
  

“We no longer work with fixed teams. That means our teams are constantly reshaping. The challenge is to keep track of team morale and performance across different locations.”

‍

To address these challenges, HHM introduced Moodtalk. Implementation began with a prototype phase in selected interdisciplinary projects. Key benefits for HHM:

‍

• Flexible usage: Teams decide themselves when and how often they want to use Moodtalk.
• Data-driven insights: A central dashboard gives management an overview of team morale and performance.
  Early intervention: When morale drops, corrective action can be taken before problems arise.
  

“Moodtalk helps us detect critical developments early. When the mood curve declines, we know we need to intervene before issues emerge.”

— Carmine D’Ambrosio, Managing Director, HHM Aarau/HHM Basel

‍

Site managers also use the dashboard monthly to highlight successes and share best practices.

“People want to work with Moodtalk. Project teams come to me and ask for a license for their team. That’s a real cultural shift at HHM.”

‍

Since introducing Moodtalk, HHM has seen the following improvements:

‍

• Higher employee retention: Employees voice challenges earlier, making it easier to implement solutions and prevent resignations.
• Better team building: Moodtalk data helps match the right people with the right projects.
• Improved psychological safety: Employees feel safer expressing their thoughts.
  

“The real time savings come from fewer people quitting because we talk about issues earlier and respond faster.”

‍

HHM now plans to integrate Moodtalk more deeply into their project marketplace to strategically assemble well-matched teams.

“I’m convinced that Moodtalk sustainably improves our teamwork. Its simplicity and effectiveness convince not just me, but also our employees.”

‍

— Carmine D’Ambrosio, Managing Director, HHM Aarau/HHM Basel

‍

Moodtalk has proven to be a valuable tool for HHM. In a work environment defined by ever-changing teams and agile structures, it provides orientation, transparency, and early problem detection.

‍

Who Would HHM Recommend Moodtalk To?

‍

• Companies undergoing transformation
• Companies with high turnover or distributed, decentralized teams
  Firms aiming to improve psychological safety and transparency within teams
  
  

HHM plans to continue rolling out Moodtalk to best support their teams. As Carmine D’Ambrosio puts it:

“Thank you very much. I’m excited that we’re rolling it out company-wide. I’m convinced we’re doing something great here. For us, it’s crucial that employees can easily use the tool—and Moodtalk is set up so simply. That’s fantastic.”
