Email is the primary method for all communications. Specific communications are deliverable via Slack, depending on your account configuration.

What to expect?

The following screenshot provides an example of what to expect from e-mail communications coming from Culture Amp Performance:

Note:

Reminders are triggered at 3PM UTC. This has been determined as the best time to accommodate all customers that utilize our platform.
Performance based communications cannot be manually triggered from the platform. They are sent automatically according to the cadence set below.
Performance based communications cannot be customised.
Invites are sent in five minute increments, and may be sent in 'batches' versus all at once.
If employees are added to a Self-Reflection cycle after cycle launch they will still receive the initial invite and any subsequent reminders.
