How do I request peer feedback in Perform?

Peer feedback is a helpful way to reflect on work, grow professionally, and prepare for performance conversations. Team members can request or give feedback at any time through the Perform platform.

How to request feedback

Team members can ask for feedback after a project, before a review cycle, or anytime they want insight into how they’re doing. To request feedback:

1. Start a request: Go to Performance > Feedback in the left-hand menu. Select Request feedback.
2. Choose a colleague: Select one or more peers from the company directory. Start typing a name or scroll through the list.
3. Write a message: Use the text box to explain what type of feedback is helpful (e.g. on a recent project or a specific skill).
4. Track your requests: After sending a request, your Feedback homepage will display pending and completed feedback.

How to respond to a feedback request

When a colleague requests feedback, responding is simple:

1. Open the request: You’ll receive an email notification. You can also go to Performance > Feedback and select the Pending requests tab.
2. Review the message: Review the original request to understand what your colleague is asking and who will see your reply.

3. Set visibility: Choose who can see the response:

   1. Only your team mate
   2. Your team mate's managers
   3. Your team mate and their managers

   Note: if a manager makes a feedback request for their report, the manager is still setting the visibility level which can't be changed when responding

4. Type your response: Share thoughtful, specific feedback to help your colleague grow.
5. Submit: Once submitted, feedback cannot be edited or deleted.

Sample feedback request ideas

These examples can help guide your message when asking for peer feedback:

• After finishing a project: What’s one thing I did that helped the team, and one thing I could improve next time?
• Before a performance review: Did I contribute to [specific situation] in a helpful way? How can I better support the team in future projects?
• Improving a skill (like communication or collaboration): How clear was I when sharing updates or explaining ideas? What would make my communication stronger?
• Learning from a senior colleague: What’s one thing I did during [specific project] that supported your work? What’s one way I could improve our collaboration?
• Focusing on a technical task: How was my approach to this task in terms of clarity, user focus, or quality? Do you have one suggestion to improve it?
• Building leadership skills: Did I help create a positive team dynamic? How can I better support or guide the team?
