Discover the latest features and updates of Culture Amp’s Goals, 1-on-1s, Skills Coach, and Anytime feedback released in 2024.

The ability to request external feedback is now live as part of our GA release! Previously available only to a select group of customers, this feature is now accessible to all customers with Performance + Anytime feedback enabled. External feedback allows you to request feedback from external parties—such as clients, vendors, partners, or contractors. This helps provide a fuller, more unbiased view of employee performance and supports more accurate evaluations. Learn more.

Personal Notes are now available in 1-on-1 conversations, making it easier for employees to capture and organize key insights from their discussions. This feature creates a private space to jot down observations, follow-ups, and plans, ensuring that important details don’t get lost. Learn more.

We know that managing 1-on-1 email updates can get overwhelming, especially for managers with multiple direct reports. To help keep your inbox under control, we’ve rolled out the Notifications digest!

Here’s how it works:

The volume of 1-on-1 email updates can quickly become too much, and we’ve heard that it sometimes leads to important updates being missed. The new digest reduces clutter while still ensuring you’re kept in the loop and fully prepared for your 1-on-1s. Learn more.

We’ve improved the Goal Tree for Goals (new) customers, making it easier for employees to view their goal hierarchy. You can now select any group as the root of the tree, allowing users with group goals to see their goals more clearly—even if company-level goals are not set up. This update enhances clarity and usability, especially for those who previously couldn't view their goal tree without company goals. Learn more.

We’ve just made sorting your conversations a little easier! Now, your filter and sort options in 1-on-1 conversations will be saved by default. What does this mean for you? No more resetting your preferences every time you log in. The platform will remember your last filter and sort-by selections, so you’ll always see your conversations the way you like them. Learn more.

We’ve made some great improvements to make your 1-on-1s easier and faster! Here's what's new:

These changes are all about making your 1-on-1s more organized and easier to manage. Learn more.

We’re excited to announce the launch of the new Goals (new) administrator role, now available to help you manage and oversee goals across your organization. This role is similar to the Account administrator when it comes to managing goals, but with one key difference: Goals administrators won’t have access to manage the overall organization structure. Goal admins can:

Account Administrators can assign the Goals administrator role to anyone in the organization. For a detailed breakdown of permissions and role assignment, check out the Permissions guide and how to assign users to roles.

Based on valuable feedback from our Goals (new) users, we’ve updated some key terminology to make it more inclusive and better reflect how our customers work with goals. What’s changed?

These changes are part of an experiment to see if these new terms improve clarity and user experience. We’ll continue to monitor feedback to ensure we’re meeting your needs. Learn more.

We’ve added a new sorting feature to help you manage multiple 1-on-1s more easily, making it simpler to prioritize and access conversations at a glance. Now, you can sort 1-on-1s by alphabetical order (A-Z or Z-A), most recent update, or relationship type (colleague, direct report, manager). This update is especially helpful for users with many conversations, providing a clearer view with automatic grouping for larger lists. It’s all about giving you quicker access to the conversations that matter most! Learn more.

Employees can now add and view comments on goals in Goals (new). This feature enhances communication, tracking, and collaboration around goal progress. Learn more.

We're excited to announce that the ability to export a Goals report is now available in Goals (new) to all users. This report provides a clear summary of each goal's current status, offering better insights into goal progress. Previously, reporting on goals was limited to filtering the goals list, and only Admins could download reports. Now, all employees can export a Goals report, with data limited to the goals they have permission to view. Learn more.

We're excited to introduce the highly requested "Copy a Goal" feature! Users can now easily duplicate any goal they own, saving time and ensuring consistency. This new functionality streamlines goal creation, eliminates manual re-entry of details, and reduces the risk of errors. Enjoy more efficient goal management with just a few clicks! Learn more.

Rich text is now available in the goal description field for Goals (new)! This long-requested feature allows users to format text, improving readability and clarity. Previously, descriptions were limited to plain text, making it harder for employees and managers to engage with goals. With rich text, you can now structure and communicate your goals more effectively. Learn more.

You can now set up meetings directly from the 1-on-1s conversation view with a single, convenient link. Previously, you had to copy a URL to your calendar manually. This new feature simplifies the process, helping you stay organized by linking your 1-on-1 conversations directly to calendar events. Learn more.

Admins can now sort 1-on-1s reports alphabetically by department or numerically in ascending/descending order for other categories. This update makes it easier to navigate data, helping admins quickly find the information they need. Learn more.

We’re excited to announce that the new Event History feature for 1-on-1s is now available! This feature helps keep everything transparent and easy to track. You can now see who has completed, reopened, or edited topics, as well as who has edited or deleted notes in your 1-on-1s. Each action will be recorded with the user’s name and the date, so you’ll always have a clear record of changes and updates. This should make it simpler to stay on top of all your 1-on-1 details and maintain context. Learn more.

We're excited to introduce the goal tree for our Goals (new) customers!

The goal tree lets employees visualize how their individual goals connect to team and company-wide objectives. It’s a great way to see dependencies between goals and understand how everyone's efforts contribute to bigger goals. Learn more.

You can now add emojis to your 1-on-1 notes for a more engaging and personalized touch. When creating or editing a note, you'll see an emoji icon. Click it to select, search, and even choose the skin tone for your favorite emojis. Learn more.

We’re excited to announce that the Collaborations feature is now live for all Performance customers using Goals (new)! This feature replaces the old Teams functionality, offering you more flexibility in goal-setting. Perfect for project-based work and scaling with your organization’s growth. Start using Collaborations today to enhance your goal-setting and tracking! Learn more.

We’re thrilled to announce that you can now schedule 1-on-1 meetings with anyone in your organization, not just your direct reports or manager. Simply select 'My Colleague', 'My Direct Report' or 'My Manager' when setting up a conversation. This feature addresses a key customer request and enhances your ability to engage with colleagues across the organization. Learn more.

We’re excited to bring back the popular hero reporting stats for manager and department participation in 1-on-1s, now available specifically for Account Admins. This feature was a favorite in the classic experience, and based on customer feedback, we've reintroduced it. For department participation, you’ll now see three key metrics (7, 30, 90 days) highlighted at the top as a hero metric. Similarly, for manager participation within a department, these same time-based metrics are prominently displayed as hero stats. Learn more.

Admins can view participation rates (%) by Department over various time frames, from 7 days to 12 months. We've now added the ability for Admins to click on these departments and see a detailed breakdown for each manager. Learn more.
