Share feedback in 15Five
- Click on Feedback in 15Five's main, left-hand navigation.
- Click on the orange Give feedback button in the top, right-hand corner of the page.
- Use the "Who would you like to give feedback to?" dropdown menu to select the name of the person you want to share feedback with.
-
Use the feedback form to provide feedback to your teammate. If you're looking for inspiration, consider these tips:
- First, separate positive and constructive feedback. Surrounding constructive feedback with positive feedback may feel better for the giver, but is confusing for the receiver.
- Second, use this one sentence to make feedback 40% more effective: “I am giving you these comments because I have very high expectations and I know you can reach them.”
- Finally, for feedback to be effective, keep it about the work— not the person. Describe the situation, then name your feeling (“I feel...”), then make your request (“I need...”).
- Under "Who will see this feedback," select whether you want to share the feedback with the person and their manager, or only their manager.
- Finish the process by clicking Give feedback. The feedback will be shared immediately. It will also appear in your own feed on the feedback dashboard.
