360-degree feedback allows you to gather feedback from different people you work with, such as your manager, peers, and direct reports. This can help you understand different perspectives on your performance, strengths, and areas for development.
If your organization allows employees to request their own 360-degree feedback, you can select your feedback providers and send requests directly from an active 360-degree feedback cycle.
đ¨ Important Note Before You Start
Who Can Initiate 360-Degree Feedback Cycles?
A 360-degree feedback cycle in Teamflect can be launched in different ways:
Teamflect Admins (HR Team) can initiate a cycle for multiple employees across the organization.
People managers can start a cycle on behalf of their team members.
Employees themselves can initiate their feedback requests if their organizationâs settings allow it.

This guide covers how employees can send requests during an active cycle.
Step 1. Open the Feedback Module
Go to the Feedback section from the left navigation menu.
Open the 360-Degree Feedback tab.
Find the active cycle assigned to you and click to view details.
Step 2. Choose Your Feedback Providers
Go to the Feedback Requests section of the cycle and select Request feedback.
Depending on how the cycle was configured, you may be able to request feedback from different provider groups, such as:
Your manager
Peers you work closely with
Your direct reports
Other eligible feedback providers
Select the people you would like to provide feedback and continue with your request.
đ Why Can't I Select Certain People?
Your organization may control which provider groups you can use and who can be selected. For example, your organization may configure a cycle so that:
Only certain provider groups are available.
Your manager or an admin must select providers for you.
Teamflect automatically determines some providers based on your organizational relationships.
If you cannot select a particular provider or provider group, it may be restricted by the cycle configuration.
Step 3: Understand Provider Limits
Your organization can set minimum and maximum numbers of feedback providers for each provider group.
Minimum Provider Requirement
The minimum determines how many providers you are required to request.
Minimum of 0: Feedback from that provider group is optional. You can continue without requesting feedback from that group.
Minimum greater than 0: You must request at least the specified number of providers from that group.
For example, if the minimum number of peer providers is 2, you must select at least two peers before you can complete the request process.
Maximum Provider Limit
The maximum determines how many providers you can request from a particular provider group.
Once you reach the maximum, you cannot add additional providers from that group. These limits are controlled by your organization's 360-degree feedback configuration and may be different for each provider group.
Step 4: Send Your Feedback Requests
After selecting your feedback providers:
Select Request.
Optionally add a note to provide context for your request.
Select Send Feedback Request.
The selected providers will receive the feedback request according to your organization's notification and feedback settings.
What If the Request Button Is Disabled?
Whether you can send your own feedback requests is controlled by your organization's 360-degree feedback configuration.
When Employee Requests Are Enabled
If your organization allows employees to initiate or request their own 360-degree feedback:
The Request feedback option is available.
You can select eligible feedback providers, subject to the cycle's provider rules.
You can send your requests directly from the active cycle.
When Employee Requests Are Disabled
If your organization has configured the cycle so that it can only be managed by admins:
The Request feedback option may be unavailable or disabled.
You cannot independently send feedback requests.
Your manager or Teamflect administrator will need to select or request feedback providers on your behalf.
If you cannot access the request option, contact your manager or HR/Teamflect administrator to confirm how the cycle is configured.
How Will My Feedback Results Be Shared?
The visibility of your 360-degree feedback is determined by the administrator who configured the feedback cycle. Depending on the configuration, you may or may not be able to see the feedback you receive.
Option 1: If Feedback Results Are Visible to You
You can view the feedback results made available to you once they are released according to the cycle's visibility settings. Your organization may also allow you to see the identity of the person who provided the feedback.
Option 2: If Feedback Results Are Hidden
You will not be able to view the feedback results yourself. Your manager or other authorized users may still be able to access the results, depending on the visibility configuration.
Option 3: If Feedback Is Anonymous
When feedback providers are configured as anonymous, you can see the feedback without seeing who submitted it. Teamflect also applies additional protections to anonymous feedback, such as randomizing the order in which anonymous responses are displayed.
Option 4: If Feedback Providers Are Not Anonymous
When provider identities are visible, you can see who provided the feedback when the corresponding results are made available to you.
đ Important: Feedback visibility and provider anonymity are separate settings. An organization can allow you to see feedback while keeping the provider anonymous, or prevent you from seeing the feedback altogether.
When Will I See My Feedback?
Your organization may configure the cycle so that feedback results remain hidden until the cycle ends.
When Show feedback after due date is enabled, feedback remains unavailable to the recipient while the cycle is active and becomes available after the due date according to the configured visibility settings.
This means you may have already received feedback from providers but still be unable to view it until the cycle's results are released.
