Our work / Case study

A staff development platform for Central Church.

Central’s staff development lived in separate Google Forms and spreadsheets. We brought it into one platform the staff sign into with their Google account.

What we built
Staff development platform

Their process, not a template.

Central already had the pieces of a strong process: goals and evaluations, an anonymous staff well-being survey every six months, 360 reviews and leadership evaluations, all built on their own staff values. What it lacked was one place to hold it, and a weekly rhythm between the big reviews.

Off-the-shelf HR software would have asked them to adopt someone else’s questions. Instead we rebuilt each form with Central’s exact wording, so nothing their staff knew had to be relearned.

What we built.

  • Weekly check-ins

    A short weekly check-in for every staff member, with scores tracked over time and six-month goals alongside.

  • Goals and evaluations

    Goals set, reviewed and signed off in one record that can be saved as a PDF.

  • 360 reviews and leadership evaluations

    Anonymous feedback for leaders, with upward evaluations reported only in aggregate.

  • Well-being survey

    Central’s twice-yearly staff survey, still anonymous, now in the same place.

  • High Fives

    Peer recognition tied to the church’s staff values.

  • Org chart and access

    The real reporting structure, with access by role, so leaders see their own teams.

Where it stands.

The platform was built for a pilot group starting in September 2026, ahead of a rollout to the full staff.

Reminders go out by email and Google Chat, the tools the staff already use every day.
