Email notification
Once a manager requests feedback from you on another employee, you will receive an email notification asking you to provide feedback on the selected employee. You can click Give Feedback to go to your inbox to provide feedback.
Give feedback
You have a "soft" deadline of 14 days from the date of the request for submitting feedback. If you have not provided feedback by the 13th day, you will receive another email notification at 7 AM (company time zone). After 14 days, you will no longer receive notifications about the request, but you will have a total of 30 days to complete the request.
If the request is still incomplete 30 days after the date of request, the inbox notification will expire in BambooHR, and you will no longer be able to submit feedback until your manager submits a new request.
Example: A manager sent a request to an employee on January 3. The employee has a "soft" deadline of January 17th to submit their feedback. If they have not submitted the feedback by January 16, they will receive another email notification and have until February 2 to complete the feedback.
The employee receiving feedback does not have access to feedback provided on them. Only the employee's manager, manager's manager, and Full Admin users can view the provided feedback. (Full Admins cannot view feedback about themselves, even when previewing as another user.)
Within the inbox, you will need to answer two simple but meaningful questions* about the employee that help you provide efficient feedback. After answering the questions, click Submit Feedback. The employee's manager will get a notification about the completed feedback.
*If your HR admin added more questions to a feedback review period, you will be able to view and answer any additional questions.
Depending on how the HR admin has set up feedback, you may have the option to provide feedback on your manager, which is upward feedback. Managers will not have access to the feedback provided on them, but the manager's manager will be able to view it.
If upward feedback is enabled, you will receive an email notification to provide feedback on your manager. Click Give Feedback to go to the feedback request in your BambooHR inbox.
In the feedback request, answer any required feedback questions and then click Submit Feedback.
