Private or Public Feedback?Using both to learn and share.

With Coworkers.com, you can proactively send work evaluation (aka Feedback) requests to colleagues on an ad hoc basis. A key feature of our feedback tool, is that it allows you to manage both Private and Public feedback. Managing everything from critical input on your work, to praise from your peers - in one central place - allows you to gain greater insight into your work.

Here's an explanation of each type, and why/when you might choose one over the other.

Private Feedback

Private feedback is ideal for situations where you are looking to get an extra edge in the workplace by learning where your strengths and weaknesses lie, and monitoring your performance with actionable metrics.

The recipients of your feedback request will know that your request is private, and you can also choose to have it be anonymous as well. These assurances, that the feedback is just between you and the respondent, will generally lead to more honest input.

Users typically send out private feedback request for things like:

• Overall work performance on a periodic basis
• Feedback on a recent meeting or presentation
• Iterative or final input on a proposal or other document

Public Feedback

Public feedback is ideal for those looking to promote themselves by validating their skills and sharing recommendations.

The recipients of your feedback request will know that you wish to share their responses publicly. This will generally lead to testimonials, from your colleagues, that are appropriate for use in promoting yourself.

Users typically send out public feedback request for things like:

• Recommendation for internal promotion, or job search
• Validation of a job well done on an event or milestone
• Praise for a document or other work product
