How to ask a colleague for feedback
Ask one colleague at a time for feedback from the Ask feedback tab of the Feedback module, then follow, remind or cancel the request in the same tab.
Before you start
Your company uses the Feedback module.
Your company has at least one feedback type that you are allowed to request.
Steps
In the side menu, open Development & Growth > Feedback > Ask for Feedback. If you are already in Feedback, open the Ask feedback tab.
Click Ask for feedback, next to Choose an user and ask for feedback.
In Feedback type, choose the type of feedback. If there is only one type, it is already selected.
If the type is about OKRs, use Select your OKR to search for and choose the OKR you want feedback on.
In Feedback context, describe the situation you want feedback on (up to 1000 characters). Your colleague reads this before answering.
In Select user, search for the colleague who will answer. You can choose one person per request, and you cannot choose yourself. Choose the feedback type first: the colleague search needs it.
If you see Share with manager, tick Share if you want your manager to see this feedback when it is answered. It is not ticked by default.
Send the request with the button at the bottom of the form. You see the message Request successfully placed. Please wait for your requested feedback.
Your colleague is notified and finds the request in their own My pending feedback list.
Follow your request
Your open requests are in the Ask feedback tab, in My requested feedbacks, with the tag Wait for requested feedback.
To remind your colleague, open the three-dot menu on the request and choose Send reminder. You can send one reminder every 24 hours, and the first one 24 hours after the request.
To withdraw the request, open the three-dot menu and choose Cancel request. This cannot be undone.
If your colleague declines, the request shows Rejected request. Open the three-dot menu to read their justification.
When your colleague answers, the feedback leaves this list and appears in the My feedback tab, in My received feedback.
The lists open filtered from the start of the current year. To see older requests, change the By date filter.
Ask for feedback for your evaluation
If your evaluation has a Feedbacks section with an Ask feedback button, use it to ask for feedback that counts for that evaluation. The form Ask for evaluation feedback opens with the type and the context already set, and the feedback is always shared with your manager. You only choose the colleague. After you send it, you return to your evaluation.
If you manage a team
You can also ask a colleague for feedback about someone in your team. See How to see your team's feedback and ask for feedback about someone.
In the mobile app
Tap Menu at the bottom of the screen and then Feedback (swipe left if you do not see it). Inside it, the sections of the module are in the bar at the bottom. The pages and the steps are the same as on the web.
If you do not see this
Your company may use a different name for this area or place it elsewhere in the menu. If your menu has no side groups, look for Feedback in the list of modules at the top.
If a message says there are no feedback types you can request, your company has not set up a type you can use. Contact your platform administrator.
If a colleague does not appear in Select user, the feedback type you chose may be limited to certain groups of people. Try another type, or contact your platform administrator.
If you do not see Share with manager, that feedback type does not offer it.
In the mobile app, the Feedback tabs are in a bar at the bottom of the screen.
