We pushed a new version of our emoji and comment reactions on ritual answers.

It is now easier on desktop and mobile to quickly react to an answer by adding the emoji of your choice (all emojis available) or a comment.

The new button floats on the right side of any block you hover with your mouse on desktop.

Emoji reactions and comment buttons are always displayed on mobile.

Hope you like it

We have launched our new layout for Popwork.

Benefits of the new layout include:

• Perfectly responsive across all screen size
• Homogenous design across views
• Retractable right-side panel for more focus

On top of the new layout, we have added new filters to help you navigate through your rituals:

• Rituals: filter on ritual type (1:1 meeting, objectives, coaching conversation)
• Status: upcoming, current or past
• Answers: focus on one answer label

Let us know what you think!

Thanks to feedback from users and analyses, we were able to spot and fix a number of bugs on Popwork.

• When managers planned the first meeting of a weekly 1:1 meeting, an issue could affect the date of that said meeting. It's now fixed.

• Pasting text in an answer while preparing for a ritual wasn't working properly. It's now fixed.

• Some users were experiencing display issues on the Actions view for specific display sizes. It's now fixed.

• For admins, the indicator of Payment status on the Subscription page was showing the "Last payment failed" notice correctly. It's now fixed.

• During the onboarding for new managers, the emoji picker for the team was displayed incorrectly on mobile. It's now fixed.

Hope this makes your experience on Popwork better and please share any issue you notice directly with us through the app chat :)

We have redesigned the Popwork feedback cards for more clarity and readability.

The new cards now feature colored labels at the top right corner and a reduced font size.

When receiving feedback, you can react with our new emoji picker or by commenting.

It's now easier to add quick reactions to feedback you receive thanks to our new emoji picker.

The new emoji picker is easier to use on desktop and mobile, contains all emojis and you are now able to add multiple emoji reactions for each feedback.

Hope you like it ✌️

We have release a new improvement that will streamline the way you request feedback!

When asking for feedback, you can now choose from a range of templates to tailor your request to specific topics, such as:

• General feedback 📝
• Areas of strengths 💪
• Areas of improvement 🎯
• Management feedback 🧑‍💼

These templates make it easier to guide the feedback you receive and ensure you’re getting the insights you need. Of course, you can still ask your own custom questions when necessary!

Other improvements:

• Team members are now also invited to request feedback to their manager after sharing their answers in preparation of a 1:1 meeting

You can now view all unread comments directly from each individual workspace.

This ensures you never miss important comments, making it easier to stay on top of your ongoing discussions!

To access unread comments, simply select a workspace and click the comment icon at the top right of the screen, next to private notes.

Other improvements:

• Improved the format of feedback and comment notifications in Slack, which now include a preview of the message sent
• Changed the wording of the call to action to share improvement feedback for "Suggest an improvement" instead of "Help to progress"

We are thrilled to introduce new indicators in your Company Dashboard to help you better measure and understand the feedback culture within your organization.

What's new?

You now have access to more detailed insights, including:

• A breakdown of the types of feedback shared by your teams, whether they are praise, encouragement, or improvement feedback.
• Trends in the number of feedbacks exchanged and 1:1 meetings held between managers and team members, ensuring they happen regularly.

These new data points provide a clearer, more precise overview of how engaged your teams are with feedback and regular conversations, helping you foster a continuous feedback culture across the organization.

Other improvements:

• Admin can now search users instead of having to scroll down when editing the manager of one of their employees
• Managers can now access the workspace of their team members from their team home, by clicking on their name
