Adjusting your Focus Areas

Focus Areas are at the core of your Growth feedback. They are usually wider areas of development or concrete personal development goals that you have identified for yourself. Each Growth feedback request uses Focus areas to help scope the request and ensure it collects relevant feedback for the recipient.

You can view our library of topics and add custom topics on the Focus areas page.

Pick up to 5 topics that matter most to your development. Then, ask colleagues you've worked with for growth feedback. Your selected topics will help them focus their feedback on the areas where you want to grow.

Asking for Growth feedback

Teamspective encourages you to ask for feedback on a regular basis. If enabled, you will also receive automated nudges from time to time to help you remember.

The main workflow for sending a feedback request is:

1. Select who you want feedback from.

2. Select Focus areas which scope your feedback request.

3. Add a personal message to give more context.

4. Select the visibility of the feedback:

   1. Private will keep it between you.

   2. Limited will share it with people who have been granted access to your shared feedback. Usually this is a manager or HR.

Sending Praise

Praise is quick positive feedback which lets your colleague(s) know they have done a great job. Getting praise regular helps to reinforce your sense of competence and confidence in what you do. Also it tells you that your work is meaningful and impactful for the company.
