2. Write a feedback
When you're participating in a review cycle you'll be asked to write a feedback.
You can access the feedback tasks within the To-do section of your Performance Review module.
You can be asked to deliver a self-assessment, a peer review, a manager review and/or a direct report. You can see the number of feedbacks you have completed and the number of feedbacks you're asked to submit via the green field (x/x completed).
Go to Performance Review > Write to see an overview of your feedback tasks. You can apply a filter, displaying All tasks, only complete or only incomplete tasks.
Click on one review task to start the question flow for a feedback. As soon as you start to work on one review, all changes will be auto-saved.
Questions flow: Following the general information about the Feedback, you will find the questions you have to answer. They are organized by different categories of evaluation.
You can add comments to each question, when the option was enabled, by clicking on (+) ADD COMMENT.
Refresh the page to see the changes. Via My Performance > Write you can see a circle symbol and its color. It indicates the status of your review. Grey indicates that the feedback has not been started yet, orange indicates that it has started and a green circle with a white arrow indicates that the review is finished.
After you have completed all the assessment questions, you will be asked to evaluate the employee or yourself according to their potential and performance level, as well as include a mandatory overall rating.
