Keep employee feedback and survey outcomes connected with performance, development, employee data, and reporting. PerformSpark owns the specialist feedback and survey workflow.

Specialist feedback collection, survey configuration, and analysis live in PerformSpark; TraineryHCM connects relevant outcomes to the broader employee lifecycle.
A structured feedback and listening process that turns input into insight and insight into action.
Waiting for annual surveys or formal performance review cycles leaves teams reacting too late. Employee check-ins and timely feedback can surface momentum, concerns, and opportunities earlier.

More frequent listening can make feedback easier to incorporate into regular work, but participation and trust depend on survey design, leadership follow-through, confidentiality, and organizational context.

Live dashboards surface patterns and trends across teams. Leaders can quickly identify what matters most, and where action is needed.

Feedback becomes more useful when teams document decisions, assign ownership, and communicate what changes—or why no change is made. Relevant outcomes can connect to goal setting or performance improvement workflows where appropriate.

Eight connected modules designed to work together, so performance conversations are consistent, fair, and focused on growth.








Employee feedback is ongoing input shared between employees, managers, and peers to improve performance, development, and the employee experience. It can include direct feedback, pulse surveys, upward feedback, peer feedback, and recognition. When outcomes stay connected to goals, development, learning, and employee records, HR teams can act on useful themes without limiting feedback to formal review windows.
A pulse survey is a short, frequent employee survey, typically 3 to 10 questions, designed to measure engagement, morale, or sentiment on a specific topic in near real time. Unlike annual engagement surveys, pulse surveys run monthly or quarterly and produce actionable data fast enough for managers to respond before issues escalate. Response rates are higher because the time commitment per survey is minimal.
Continuous feedback is informal and ongoing, shared between any two employees at any time, often about a specific project or behavior. A 360-degree review is a structured, formal process conducted at defined intervals, involving multiple raters with standardized questions and documented results. Feedback informs culture; 360 reviews inform formal performance records and development plans.
TraineryHCM allows HR teams to configure anonymity settings per feedback type. Peer feedback and upward feedback (direct reports rating managers) can be set to anonymous to encourage honesty. Manager-to-employee feedback is attributed. Pulse survey responses are aggregated before being shared with managers so no individual response is identifiable. Anonymity settings can be adjusted per survey campaign or feedback cycle.
TraineryHCM includes pre-built survey templates for the most common HR use cases: employee engagement surveys, onboarding experience surveys, manager effectiveness surveys, exit surveys, pulse check-ins, and post-training feedback forms. All templates are fully customizable. HR teams can edit question text, adjust rating scales, add or remove questions, and set survey frequency without needing technical configuration support.
In TraineryHCM, feedback collected throughout the year is available to managers when they open a performance review form. Rather than writing a review from memory, managers can review all feedback given and received by the employee during the review period. This longitudinal view reduces recency bias, supports more specific written evaluations, and helps calibration sessions because every rating is grounded in documented evidence.
A manager effectiveness survey collects upward feedback from direct reports about their manager's coaching quality, communication, clarity of expectations, and support for development. Research by Google (Project Oxygen) and Gallup consistently shows that manager quality is the single biggest driver of employee engagement and retention. TraineryHCM's feedback module includes a built-in manager effectiveness survey template aligned to proven management competency frameworks.
Pulse surveys work best on a monthly or quarterly cadence. Monthly pulse surveys are short (3 to 5 questions) and measure near-term sentiment. Quarterly surveys are slightly longer and track trends across the year. Annual engagement surveys provide a full benchmark but are too infrequent to catch emerging issues. TraineryHCM allows HR teams to schedule automated pulse campaigns with custom frequencies per team or department.
