Once a month, your people check in across the five pillars of their life. In between, there’s always one small thing to do: say what’s on their mind, take a breath, keep a habit, open a chapter.
Only they can read what they write, say or answer.
nørma is built on our own framework: five pillars that together shape a person’s life. Work is only one of them. Health, inner life, close relationships and friendships all carry into the working day, and when one slips, the others feel it.
Sleep, movement, nutrition and energy: the physical base every other pillar rests on.
“I’m out walking before work most mornings, and I’ve kept my Thursday yoga class going since spring. Some weeks it’s the only hour that’s properly mine.”
A person who is sleeping badly, has stopped seeing friends and is carrying something at home brings all of it to work.
The check-in is an awareness tool that works both ways. Each person gets their own picture first, a starting point for the month. Only then does it become the group signal leaders see.
Short questions on how life is going across all five pillars, then three about work: do they feel heard, valued and safe to speak their truth?
Their five pillars, their Fulfilment and one focus for the month. A starting point that’s theirs, before anyone else sees anything.
Home brings it together: their score, their focus and one thing to do today. Between check-ins, this is where they put the work in.
Laura’s picture stays hers. What travels is her score, added in with everyone else’s.
Each person’s answers are added into one figure for their team. Teams below five never appear, and no individual score reaches a dashboard. That’s all a leader sees, and it’s where their side begins.
The check-in shows where they are. Between check-ins is where they move the needle: small, regular actions that lift their fulfilment and keep them away from the slow slide towards burnout.
Speak or write for a minute whenever something is taking up space. One prompt, no blank page, and nørma listens. Getting it out of their head is often what makes it clearer.
nørma names what sits underneath, the themes it heard and one small step to try next. Every entry is kept in their own words, so over time it becomes a private journal: what weighed on them, what helped, and how far they’ve come.
Sometimes it’s hard to say what’s on your mind, or to find a starting point. Naming the emotion first helps people understand what they actually feel: one of seven core emotions, then the shade, then the exact word. Angry, then disrespected, then dismissed. From there, nørma offers a Reset that fits the moment.
For the moments when it all gets too much and they need to settle. They pick how they feel, and nørma offers something short that fits: breathing, meditation or movement. A few minutes is often enough to shift out of that state.
Small habits, suggested from the check-in and tied to a pillar. Our research and testing point the same way: with something small happening in each pillar, people are far more likely to hold their fulfilment or lift it. And when life throws a curveball, that net gives them something to hold on to.
Few habits change how a person feels as reliably as gratitude, and it takes seconds. Three good things from today, written from Home and kept in one place to come back to when a day feels heavy.
Short, beautifully illustrated chapters that deepen their understanding of the five pillars: what really moves the needle in each one, and how they all connect. Every chapter ends with one thing to try.
Nobody where someone works can read their check-in answers, reflections or recordings. Answers become a group figure before anything reaches a dashboard, and groups below five never appear.

nørma goes with them, following their growth and supporting them along the way.
