Shared by Florian • June 14, 2024

After the recent launch of a new instant feedback feature, we’re glad to release a simple dashboard to help HR track the adoption of feedback culture internally!

HR are now able to track easily how many feedback managers actually share with their teams. Concretely the table reports the number of feedback sessions completed by managers and the number of feedbacks shared via Popwork.

This is the first step in our broader ambition to grow Popwork as a platform to deploy a continuous feedback culture within companies. Stay tuned for further updates in the coming weeks!

To consult these insights, simply go to Company > Indicators.

Other improvements:

  • Renamed the feedback box below 1:1 answers as a general comment area to avoid confusion with the new instant feedback feature
  • Simplified the team menu to help the manager focus more on team members, 1:1s and feedbacks
