According to Gallup’s research, employees are 3.6 times more motivated to do outstanding work when their manager provides daily versus annual feedback. Gallup explained, “Effective feedback has an expiration date. Feedback should be a common occurrence – for most jobs, a few times per week. People remember their most recent experiences best, so feedback is most valuable when it occurs immediately after an action.” Likewise, Gallup found that the benefits of frequent feedback work to inspire individual excellence, support performance agility, and promote talent retention—helping create a competitive edge for the organization.

Namely’s Continuous Feedback feature enables users to share thoughtful comments at any time, delivering an instant notification to the employee.

Namely CEO Larry Dunivan commented, “In today’s workplace, some employees have never even met their coworkers in person. That means HR professionals and managers need to identify new ways to forge a sense of connection between employees and foster a deeper sense of workforce community. By breaking away from the traditional point-in-time review cycle and making feedback part of the day-to-day employee experience, Namely Continuous Feedback offers the opportunity to encourage and engage one another. It’s a way to empower employees and inspire collaboration and recognition while building a winning culture.”
