Google Forms for Performance Reviews and Employee Feedback

Are you still relying on Google Forms to collect employee feedback?

If yes, you are missing out a lot.

HRs want to create a streamlined employee feedback system to fit their organisation’s unique requirements and run it diligently. Monitoring and gathering employee feedback has become more important with the current shift in the workplace scenario, due to the Covid -19 pandemic.

In a survey, 60% of respondents said that they would like daily or weekly feedback — for employees under age 30 the number increased to 72%.

If you are looking for a dependable system to gather and interpret employee feedback, Google Forms with its limited features, security concerns, and lack of flexibility may fall short as a solution for your organization. 

You must be wondering-

“If not Google Forms, what tool can I rely on?”

The answer is Peoplebox, a robust employee feedback software.
