Frequently asked questions

What should a manager write in feedback?+

Specific strengths with examples, areas to improve with practical suggestions, and the support the manager will offer.

Is manager feedback the same as manager evaluation?+

No. Manager feedback is given by the manager to an employee. Manager evaluation is feedback about the manager given by the team.

How long should manager feedback be?+

One page is usually enough. It should be specific rather than long.
