How to request feedback 🧑💻
- Click on Feedback in 15Five's main, left-hand navigation.
- Click Request feedback in the top, right-hand corner of the page.
- The "Request Feedback" popup will appear on your screen. Begin by selecting the people you want to request feedback from.
Tip
For a well-rounded perspective and a more objective feedback loop, we recommend requesting feedback from multiple people on the same topic.
- Next, use the "" field to describe what you want feedback on— whether it be a project, presentation, or general topic.
- If you'd like your manager to be able to see your received feedback, check the box next to "Share feedback with your manager"
Note
If you choose not to share feedback with your manager at this stage, you’ll still have the option to share it later, once you’ve received the feedback.
- When you're done, click Send request.
What happens next? ➡️
- The individuals you requested feedback from will receive an in-app notification. If they have the "When I receive a feedback request" notification enabled in their settings, they'll also receive an email and/or Slack notification.
- If you choose to share feedback with your manager, they will receive an in-app notification and an email or Slack notification (if they have enabled the "When my direct report shares a feedback request with me" option in their notification settings). As responses to your feedback request come in, your manager will be notified accordingly.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)❓
With 15Five’s Feedback feature, you’re able to get specific and define the type of feedback you’re looking for. That way, you can get a more accurate and holistic view of your performance and know exactly what to do to improve it.
Here are 5 tips to keep in mind when asking for feedback:
- The more feedback, the better. To get an unbiased view, you should ask multiple people for feedback whose perspectives differ from yours.
- Be specific. Are you looking for positive or constructive feedback—or both?
- Don’t wait too long to ask. Asking for feedback immediately following a project or event has the greatest impact.
- Stay open-minded. Evaluation can be tough, but it’s a necessary part of growth and development.
- Follow up. Feedback isn’t a one-way street, so reach back out to those who offered great advice and show how they’ve helped you improve.
Yes. If a feedback request has not been replied to within 14 days, the request will expire.
