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

  • 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!
