Feedback
Requesting feedback allows the employee or the manager to invite additional reviewers to provide their perspective on the performance of the employee. Feedback can be requested anytime by an employee or by their manager. Solicited feedback should be regarding a specific project or function. Feedback requests should be agreed upon in advance by managers and employees.
Feedback can help inform managers as they complete performance evaluations. It is an optional step in the annual review process. If provided during the review period (7/1/2026 - 6/30/2027) it will automatically be included in the annual review.
Feedback should be regarding a specific project/function and focused on Performance Competencies. And should help you answer these questions:
- What is expected of me?
- How well am I doing/did I do on that project?
- If I need improvement, give me specifics.
Instances it might be particularly helpful to get feedback in MyDay:
- Project based work
- Across campus partnerships
- Dotted line reporting structure
- Service based positions
- Committee work
Following our last update regarding the shift in our performance management timeline, we want to highlight the Get Feedback function as an important way you can begin capturing your work and growth for the upcoming performance management cycle.
Requesting feedback in MyDay allows you to capture these critical efforts in real-time. By gathering perspectives from supervisors, peers, and campus partners now, you can ensure that the dedication, adaptability, and accomplishments you demonstrated throughout this transition are recognized. Below is some guidance on how to do so.
Who can you ask for feedback?
Think broadly about people who have directly experienced or benefited from your work, including:
- Supervisor/manager
- Peers/team members
- Cross-functional partners
- Campus partners/stakeholders
- Project or initiative leads
- People you supported or mentored
- Partners from another team
Feedback questions to consider
Contributions & impact
- What contributions have you seen me make that had the greatest impact?
- What work or accomplishments of mine stand out to you?
- How have my contributions helped the team, department, or broader organization?
- What do you think I did particularly well during this period of change?
Adaptability & organizational change
- How have you seen me adapt to changes in priorities, processes, or responsibilities?
- Where have you seen me demonstrate flexibility or resilience?
- How did I help maintain continuity or move work forward during challenging periods?
- What did I do that helped others navigate the changes?
Collaboration
- How have I contributed to effective collaboration across teams?
- What have you noticed about the way I communicate or work with others?
- When have you seen me step in to support colleagues or partners?
- How have I helped build effective working relationships?
Problem-solving & initiative
- Can you share an example of when you saw me solve a challenging problem?
- Where have you seen me take initiative or go beyond my usual responsibilities?
- What challenges have you seen me navigate effectively?
- What did I do that made a difficult situation easier or helped move it forward?
For a complete picture of your contributions ask different people different questions rather than sending the same prompt to everyone. For example, ask a manager about impact and growth, a peer about collaboration, and a campus partner about service and responsiveness.
