Overview


Administrators and Performance HR business partners can request feedback on a manager's behalf outside of a standard performance review cycle. While managers can initiate Manager-Requested Feedback themselves, these instructions are specifically for administrators or HRBPs providing backup or support to maintain team momentum. HRBPs can only request feedback on behalf of managers within their assigned scope (e.g., departments).

Troubleshooting/FAQs


What happens to feedback when a user is deactivated?

If Manager Requested Feedback is submitted, and the user is then deactivated, the feedback will no longer be visible to the Manager or Admin. If the user is then reactivated, the submitted Manager Requested Feedback is again visible to both Manager and Admin.

Where can the reviewee find this feedback?

If the visibility was set to "manager and employee," the employee can view the feedback directly in their Anytime Feedback feed.

Do feedback requests expire?

Yes. All feedback requests remain active for 90 days. After this period, the request will expire and can no longer be acted upon, though it will remain in your activity list for record-keeping.
