Two times a year, we do a full blown feedback cycle at Blendle.
Why?
The review is all about taking a step back and look at the greater picture. Summarizing all the input from last months, highlighting areas that need attention and looking forward and creating perspective. It’s your moment to steer your career in the direction you want. It's also a great moment to look back on everything you achieved (as an individual and a team), to see what impact you've made and think about how you could make that impact even bigger.
How?
As you might know, we came up with a little system. This is a thought-through, pretty well-oiled process which covers all the basics of getting good feedback.
The HR team will keep you posted, keep an eye on invites in your agenda, you will get 2 from HR and 1 from your team lead.
Self Review (HR), Peer Reviews (HR), Feedback session (Team lead). Just go to
https://goals.blendle.io/reviews (not public) and the process is in your face :).
Here's how it should look:
When the self review is up: click ‘write self review’ and go nuts. The form steers your thoughts by questioning certain areas, so it might be a good idea to take a piece of paper and write some stuff down before you look at the review form.
Nice feature: click the dropdown that says [Q3-Q4 2018] next to the header to go back in time and see the feedback you got last time.
You can use the matrix and the goals you've made at the beginning as input for your self review.
When you are finished with your self review, go to the invite section scroll. It looks like this:
