Training

The Performance and Development area offers features to help you manage your training autonomously.

Accept training invitations

Each time your supervisor signs you up for a training session, you receive an email invitation. Accept the invitation and the training is added to your calendar automatically.

Track your courses

Feedback

The feedback area empowers you to give and receive feedback proactively and within performance review cycles.

Access your feedback

To access your feedback, go to Performance & Development > Feedback. You can see all your feedback under the following tabs:

To do: Your pending and drafted feedback requests, such as from colleagues or tied to reviews.
About you: Feedback about you from others.
About others: Feedback you’ve sent.

If a cycle ends or someone leaves before finishing a review, it shows under About you or About others as discarded and can’t be updated.

These sections show your development over time. Use filters to find relevant feedback easily.

Send proactive feedback

You can send feedback to anyone in your organization, at any time. You can do so via ZenEmployee's Continuous feedback feature:

Go to Performance & Development > Feedback.
On the top right, click Give feedback.
In the Give feedback window, select the employee you want to give feedback to. Click Continue.
On the left hand side, select the relevant feedback template. Then write your feedback.
Choose to share your feedback with the employee's supervisor or not.
Depending on the confidentiality setting, your name will be visible or invisible to the receiver by default, or you will be able to choose your preferred option.
Click Give feedback.

Your feedback will reach the relevant employee and will be available for them under Performance & Development > Feedback > About you.
