Sharing Feedback

By sharing feedback, you can provide input on a colleague's performance. You can also use it to send notes to yourself or share articles or links you found interesting. Feedback can highlight accomplishments, or areas of improvement, and provide ongoing coaching for employees. If you are a manager, you can attach feedback to a form to highlight an employee’s accomplishments, support your comments, and so on.

The feedback types you see have been customized by your organization. Depending on how Halogen Feedback Central is set up, employees may be able to add the following types of feedback:

• Recognition (for anyone in your organization)

• Journal notes (for yourself only)

• Check This Out (for anyone in your organization)

Depending on how Halogen Feedback Central is set up, managers may be able to add the following types of feedback for their reports:

• Manager Notes

• Observations

• Coaching Tips

• Awards (HR Reps only)

You can share some types of feedback, for example, journal notes, with your manager or your employees. Other types of feedback, such as personal notes, are private and cannot be shared.

If you provide recognition feedback for a colleague, he or she will see this feedback in their Feed on the Home page and in their My Performance area the next time they log in to Halogen TalentSpace.
