Feedback cycles
A cycle is a structured round of feedback across a group over a defined window.1
Choose a template
Templates are per-locale and reusable. The shipped set follows the framework’s three domains —
self-awareness, each other, and system.
2
Define the audience
A team, a department, or a hand-picked list.
3
Gather perspectives
360° where you want it: self-reflection, peers, the line manager, and — where it applies — the
people the person leads.
4
Share
Responses are shared back as a reflection to work through together, not as a report card
delivered to the manager.
Continuous feedback
Between cycles, anyone can give feedforward — a forward-looking observation about what would help, rather than a backward-looking judgement about what went wrong — and peer recognition. Continuous feedback is peer-to-peer. It is not a manager-to-report channel that accumulates into an evaluation file.Growth journeys
A growth journey is the person’s own record: what they are working on, what they have learned, what they want next. They own it. It gives cycles and check-ins something continuous to attach to instead of restarting the conversation every six months.Team vitality
Team vitality sensing looks at the system rather than the individual: how a team is doing as a working unit — energy, clarity, psychological safety, workload. Results are reported at team level only, and never decomposed into individual contributions. A team-level signal that can be traced back to one person is not a team-level signal.Anonymity
Where feedback is collected anonymously, the anonymity is technical. Responses are separated from identity by design, and a small-audience threshold prevents re-identification by elimination. See Surveys for the same mechanism described in full.Rating schemes
Rating schemes exist and are expressive — they are used, for instance, in work certificate assessments, where Swiss convention requires a graded verdict.What HR sees
HR administers cycles — who is invited, whether the window is open, whether responses are outstanding — but administering a cycle is not the same as reading everyone’s reflections. Access to content follows the sharing rules of the cycle, not the administrator’s role.Turning it off
