How (and why) do I grant Antenna access to Google Workspace?
​
If you’re reading this, you probably administer your organization’s Google Workspace and one of your leaders just asked if they could use Antenna for their team.
​
Below is a less than 5 minute read on why Antenna is valuable, how Antenna works and step by step guidance on approving.
​
What is Antenna?
Antenna helps leaders better understand how they are engaging with their team members, helping to improve their leadership skills, team engagement and team performance.
​
How does it work?
​
-
A leader grants Antenna read-only access to their calendar and email history from Google and provides Antenna with the names and email addresses of their direct reports.
-
Antenna analyzes this data, building a picture of how the leader is engaging with their entire team - how much time is spent, how much engagement, when they are engaging, how they are engaging, and we surface insights directly to the leader.
-
Upon registration, the leader gets a 90 day historical analysis, then an ongoing weekly analysis that reviews the most recent week’s data.
Note: Our product follows strict privacy guidelines. Antenna only has read-only access to that specific user's data, and we only ever surface any analysis of that data to that specific user.
What kind of security do you have in place?
​
As part of our development with Google, we completed a verification process and security review via a third party security firm to satisfy their requirements. We passed this review on December 21, 2022 and will complete a review annually. Please review our certificate here.
Ok, I’m convinced. How do I let the leader install?
