Learn how to manage your team's 360 Feedback cycle in Small Improvements. As a manager, you can approve reviewer nominations, manage reviewers, monitor review progress, and view or share feedback with your team.
Tip: For a complete understanding of the 360 Feedback process, you may also want to read the employee guide. It explains what employees experience during each stage of the cycle.
This guide assumes your HR Admin has already created the 360 Feedback cycle, added participants, configured deadlines, and invited employees to nominate reviewers.
Access Your Team's 360 Feedback
Go to Feedback > Team.
Select a feedback cycle.
From here, you can monitor your team's progress, manage reviewers, and view completed feedback.
Approve Reviewer Nominations
If your organization allows employees to nominate their own reviewers, you may be asked to review and approve those nominations before feedback begins.
You'll receive an email when reviewer approval is required. You can also access the task from your homepage.
When you're ready, click Approve and Notify Reviewers. Approved reviewers will receive an email inviting them to provide feedback.
From the reviewer approval page, you can:
Review nominated reviewers for each employee.
Add or remove reviewers before approval.
Approve all reviewer nominations at once.
Note: Email notifications are sent in batches. It can take up to 60 minutes for reviewers to receive their invitation.
Manage Reviewers
You can continue to manage reviewers throughout the feedback cycle, even after reviewer nominations have been approved.
From the Team page, you can:
Add additional reviewers.
Remove reviewers.
Review each employee's reviewer list.
Browse your organization's reporting structure when selecting reviewers.
To update an employee's reviewers:
Expand the employee's reviewer list.
Use the search field or People icon to add reviewers.
Select the menu next to a reviewer to remove them if needed.
Note: Managers can also manage reviewers for employees who report to their sub-managers.
Monitor Feedback Progress
The Team page provides a live overview of your team's review progress.
From here, you can:
See who has completed their feedback.
Identify reviewers who haven't started or are still in progress.
Send reminders to outstanding reviewers.
Open the reviewer list to make changes if needed.
Completed reviews are marked with a checkmark, making it easy to monitor participation across your team.
View Feedback
Whether you can view submitted feedback depends on how your HR Admin has configured the feedback cycle.
Feedback may become available:
As soon as it is submitted.
On the feedback release date configured for the cycle.
To view feedback:
Go to Feedback > Team.
Select the feedback cycle.
Click View (or the Eye icon) next to the employee.
From here, you can review the submitted feedback and print it if needed.
Share Feedback with an Employee
If your organization requires managers to manually release feedback, you can share it directly from the employee's feedback page.
Open the employee's submitted feedback.
Click Share with....
Confirm that you want to release the feedback.
Note: Once feedback has been shared manually, any additional feedback submitted for that employee will be released automatically.
Reference 360 Feedback During Performance Reviews
When completing a Performance Review, you'll find your employee's completed 360 Feedback in the Helpful Resources sidebar.
This makes it easy to reference peer feedback while writing the review, without switching between different pages.
Find an Employee's Past 360 Feedback
You can access an employee's previous 360 Feedback at any time.
Use the User Search in the upper-right corner.
Open the employee's profile.
Select the 360 Feedback tab.
If you have permission, you'll also be able to access their Objectives and Performance Reviews from the same profile.
