We also recommend that managers have conversations with employees when sharing the submitted feedback. They can resolve concerns, set new goals, and give praise at the moment. Now, compare that to the traditional method of collecting a bunch of feedback trying to paint an accurate picture of the past year at a time when it is too late to do anything about it.

The Date field under Feedback in a review cycle setup determines the feedback start dates. Based on your selected start date, you can then have feedback happen every 3, 4, 6, or 12 months.

The feedback will show up immediately after the individual submits feedback on the other employee.

Yes, as long as they are added to BambooHR. Examples of a non-employee user include external consultants, contractors, or partners who have worked with your employee and can provide feedback on the employee.

Yes—as long as they have access to their BambooHR account.

Yes. In the review cycle setup, you can adjust the date of when the next feedback period should occur. You can also change the frequency. In that way, you can make sure everyone is ready to give the most effective feedback.

The manager can select up to 10 people to provide feedback on one of their employees.

If you have the Pro package, you can add custom feedback questions to peer and upward feedback within a review cycle setup. Each feedback type has a limit of five questions in total (custom and standard). For example, if you remove the two standard questions, you will be able to have five custom questions.

Admins, the employee’s manager, and the manager’s manager can view feedback on a specific employee, but that specific employee (including admins) receiving the feedback will not be able to view it. Studies show that people provide more honest and open feedback if they know the recipient will not see it. However, strictly anonymous feedback lacks the context of the provider, which can be very helpful for managers in determining what actions to take with the information shared. The goal is to create an environment where individuals can share open feedback in an insightful and actionable way.

The employee can log in to their employee profile and go to their inbox. Within the inbox, they will be able to view the feedback they provided on other employees.
