Week 48 - Share reciprocal feedback on closed objectives 🎯

Shared by Florian β€’ January 10, 2023

Hi there πŸ‘‹

We have just added the possibility to share reciprocal feedback on closed objectives.

Team members can now close objectives from their check-in, set a closing status (ie. met, partially met, not met, deprioritized) and share a closing feedback. The manager will then be invited to share their own feedback and confirm the final status.

The other way around works as well - if the manager closes the objective (from the objective drawer), then the team member will be invited to share feedback in the next check-in containing the Objectives update.

Feedback will be shared with the rest of the check-in answers, and closed objectives can be found in the Objectives views, under the Closed tab.

Other improvements:

  • Fixed issue when logging out from Google
  • Users now have access to Insights history of archived relationships

Shared by Florian β€’ January 10, 2023

Hi folks πŸ‘‹

We constantly receive a lot of (positive) feedback regarding all the management resources we share on LinkedIn, so we decided to make them available to all Popwork users.

To start with, we wrapped them up in a comprehensive library which you can access from the Popwork interface. Simply click on Management Resources at the bottom of the left menu.

As a manager, this will help you find answers to your most pressing management questions or grow your management skills.

See for yourself, and pick the topic that interests you:

Going forward, we aim to add more actionable management tips across your journey using Popwork, and eventually make them pop at the right moment.

Other improvements:

  • Team settings (edit members, rename, delete) can now be accessed more directly from the left menu - simply hover on team name
  • The Help Center is also more accessible at the bottom of the left menu
