Giving feedback in the assessment
01. How do I move these markers around?
Move markers individually using drag-and-drop. There should be an avatar at the center of the feedback view representing the person who invited you to provide feedback (it may be a picture of the person, but they may have chosen an avatar that is not a traditional photograph). Drop a marker closer to the avatar the more the marker represents the person. Drop a marker further from the avatar the less the marker represents the person (if it does not represent them at all, you can also drop it outside the feedback space entirely).
02. Will the person be able to see where I placed the markers?
– Short Answer: NO
– Long Answer:
The person will only be able to see the AVERAGE feedback they receive and they can only see this average after at least three people have completed a feedback session. The person will NOT be able to see where you specifically placed any given marker or whether it was closer/further from their avatar compared to other people giving feedback.
The person is NOT informed if/when you complete the feedback.
03. How do I know if I am working on Enablers or Blockers? Am I meant to be thinking about this person’s Best Days or Worst Days right now?
The feedback process is divided into reflecting on how well certain behaviorally-based markers represent the person on their BEST DAYS (part 1) and their WORST DAYS (part 2).
- Everyone has good days, and on their BEST DAYS, when they are unleashing their strengths, how well do key ENABLING, “superpower” markers represent them? 👍
- Everyone has bad days, and on their WORST DAYS, how much do critical BLOCKING markers, often representing fears that get in the way of their potential, represent them? 👎
Remember the good day/bad day orientation when you are working through the feedback session.
The colour scheme of the BLA changes based on whether it is asking about good days (blue) or bad days (pink).
04. Can I start a feedback session, leave the BLA, and return and finish it later?
You can leave a feedback session and return to it later via REPLY NOW on your dashboard.
It will bring you back to the last page SAVED in the system.
A page is saved when all the markers are placed and you click NEXT.
👉 If you have only placed some markers on a specific page before leaving, you may need to drag and drop them again.
05. How do I know when I am finished?
✅ At the end of a specific feedback session, the BLA will return to your dashboard and the feedback request will be gone.
👉 If the feedback request is still there, you may not have reached the end of the session.
06. I finished my feedback session, what now?
✅ Once you have no feedback requests on your dashboard, there is nothing more for you to do.
In the future, you might get invited to provide comments to the person about their development and/or participate in a new feedback session.
07. I got a reminder, why?
The BLA sends reminders, by request, to anyone who has not finished a feedback session.
When a person requests that the BLA sends reminders, they cannot see who is receiving a reminder.
If you think you finished your feedback session, check your dashboard to be sure.
