Week 36 - Share feedback with peers ๐Ÿ“ค

Shared by Florian โ€ข September 05, 2024

For several months now it is possible for managers to share feedback with their team members and for team members to ask for feedback from their manager.

From now on, everyone can share feedback with anyone within the organization!

This is useful to thank someone for their help, congratulate another for a great achievement or share more thorough feedback with one of your peers.


How it works?

From the left-hand menu, the homepage or the Feedback page, select the share or request feedback option and select the recipient of your choice from all the people in your organization.

Write and share your feedback. The recipient will be notified and will be able to view your message on Popwork.
