Why is asking for feedback so important? Requesting feedback empowers employees to take charge of their development by giving them a tool to actively seek feedback in their workflow on what they want, when they want, and from whom they want. When employees initiate and drive the feedback agenda, they’re much more likely to act on it. Unlike other provider’s real-time feedback features, which can be anonymous, unsolicited, and unknowingly shared, all of which aid in feedback failures; 15Five’s Request Feedback leverages neuroscience research to create a better feedback system.
Feedback is it's own feature and is independent of Reviews, 1-on-1s, and 15Five check-ins. That means visibility for Feedback is also independent of all the previously mentioned features.
