Org charts show who reports to whom. Organizational Health shows who actually works with whom. It maps the real collaboration network across your company — a form of organizational network analysis (ONA) — so you can see the people holding teams together, the connectors bridging departments, and the spots where work depends on one person. Use it to answer questions a reporting line can’t: Who are the connectors we can’t afford to lose? Which teams are siloed? If this person left, what would break?
Organizational Health is part of Analytics, which is in early access. If you’d like it enabled for your workspace, reach out to your Windmill contact or email support@gowindmill.com.

Who can see Organizational Health

Unlike the other Analytics reports, Organizational Health is only available to people who can see Analytics for the entire organizationWorkspace Admins and HR Admins. Managers and individual contributors don’t see this report at all, even though they can open AI Adoption, Product Usage, and Explore for their own scope. Because the network spans the whole company, there’s no partial, manager-limited view of it. If enabled, you’ll find it in the Analytics section of the Windmill Dashboard, below the other reports.

How the network is built

The network is built from collaboration signals across the work tools you’ve connected to Windmill. The more two people interact, the stronger the connection Windmill draws between them. Windmill groups that signal into a few kinds of collaboration:
  • Meetings — people who attend the same meetings, from your calendar and Zoom
  • Messages — people active in the same conversations in Slack
  • Code reviews — people who review each other’s work in GitHub
  • Tasks — people who share project work in Jira, Linear, and Asana
  • Documents — people who collaborate on the same docs in Google Docs and Notion
These categories are what you’ll see in a person’s Top score source and Source mix metrics. They’re populated only by the integrations you’ve connected — so the more collaboration tools you connect, the richer and more accurate the network.
Connect more collaboration tools from the Integrations page to enrich the graph.
The report reflects the current state of your collaboration network. There’s no date-range picker or employee filter — Windmill tunes the graph automatically to surface the strongest, most meaningful connections and keep the view readable. Relationships that don’t clear that threshold aren’t shown.
Organizational Health surfaces collaboration patterns and strength — who works with whom, and how much. It doesn’t show the contents of anyone’s messages, emails, or documents.

What you’ll see

The report has three sections: the Network graph, the Key People lists, and the People table. A Guide button in the top right opens an in-app reference for every term used on the page.

Network graph

An interactive map of your collaboration network:
  • Each dot is a person.
  • Each line is a working relationship. Thicker lines mean stronger connections.
  • Larger dots have more or stronger connections — their size reflects total connection strength.
Click any dot to select that person; their direct connections highlight and the rest of the graph dims so you can see their immediate network. Click empty space to clear the selection. You can also use the Search people box above the graph to jump to someone by name.
If you search for someone and see “Employee not in graph,” it means they don’t currently have relationships strong enough to appear in this view — not that there’s no data on them.

Network overview

When no one is selected, the panel beside the graph shows four numbers that summarize the whole visible network:
  • People — How many people are in the network.
  • Relationships — How many connections are shown. A stronger connection means more relationship signal between two people.
  • Density — How tightly connected the visible network is overall. Higher density means people are connected to more of the others shown.
  • Components — The number of separate groups in the network. One group means everyone shown is connected through some chain of relationships; more than one means there are clusters with no link between them.

Selecting a person

When you select someone, the panel switches to their profile: their name and manager, every people metric for that person, and a Strongest connections list — their top relationships ranked by connection strength (the score is a relative strength signal, not a percentage).

Key People

Three ranked lists that surface the people who play notable roles in the network:
  • Most connected — Active members with the strongest overall connection profile across the company.
  • Critical connectors — Active members who link otherwise separate groups. These are often the people whose departure would fragment collaboration.
  • Cross-team linkers — Active members whose relationships reach most broadly across org-chart groups.
Each list ranks active Windmill members from the full company network.

People table

A sortable, per-person table of network metrics for every active Windmill member in the graph. Click any column header to sort, or use Filter People to find someone by name. Click any value to open a side panel that explains the metric and shows a top-10 leaderboard for it — a fast way to see who ranks highest on, say, Bridge or Influence. By default the table sorts by Strength (highest first).

People metrics

These metrics describe each person’s role in the network. They appear in the People table, in the side-panel profile when you select someone in the graph, and in the in-app Guide.
MetricWhat it means
InfluenceHow central someone is in the network. Connections to other well-connected people count more than connections to isolated people.
BridgeHow much someone links different groups in the network. High bridge scores often indicate critical connectors.
ConnectionsThe number of people someone is directly connected to.
StrengthTotal connection strength across someone’s relationships. Higher values mean stronger overall collaboration signal.
CoreHow embedded someone is in a dense part of the network. Higher values mean they’re surrounded by more mutually connected people.
Source mixHow evenly someone’s relationship signal is spread across work sources. Higher values mean less dependence on a single source.
ReciprocityHow mutual someone’s connections tend to be. Higher values mean connections more often show up from both sides.
Top score sourceThe collaboration category (Meetings, Messages, Code reviews, and so on) that contributes the most to this person’s relationship signal.

FAQs

Only Workspace Admins and HR Admins — the roles with organization-wide Analytics access. Managers and individual contributors don’t see Organizational Health at all. Because the network spans the entire company, there’s no manager-scoped version of it.
No. Organizational Health measures how much and how broadly people collaborate — it’s built from activity signals across your connected work tools (messages exchanged, meetings attended together, code reviewed, shared projects). It doesn’t surface the contents of any message, email, or document.
Two reasons are common. First, the graph only shows relationships strong enough to clear Windmill’s readability threshold — someone with only weak or sparse collaboration signal won’t appear. Second, the Key People lists and People table include active Windmill members only. Searching for a person and seeing “Employee not in graph” means the former.
No. Unlike AI Adoption, Product Usage, and Explore, Organizational Health has no employee filter or date-range picker. It always shows the current state of your whole collaboration network, tuned automatically to surface the strongest connections.
The graph is built from your connected integrations. If only one or two collaboration tools are connected — or none are — there isn’t enough signal to draw a meaningful network. Connect more collaboration tools (Slack, Google Workspace, Zoom, GitHub, Jira, Linear, Asana, Notion) from the Integrations page to enrich it.
Influence measures how central someone is — being connected to other well-connected people raises it. Bridge measures how much someone links otherwise-separate groups. Someone can be a strong bridge without being highly influential (a quiet connector between two teams), or highly influential without being a bridge (a hub deep inside one tight-knit group).
