Managing Continuous Feedback Activities

Objectives

After completing this lesson, you will be able to:
  • Navigate the Continuous Feedback interface.
  • Delete Continuous Feedback.
  • Set Continuous Performance Management Email notifications.
  • Explore AI Capabilities in Continuous Performance and Feedback.

Continuous Feedback

With the latest version of Continuous Performance Management (CPM), a new version of Continuous Feedback can be enabled and will be available in the Main Navigation Menu.

Continuous Feedback displays Feedback Received, Feedback Given, and Requests Sent. Several filtering capabilities are included to identify feedback more efficiently.

Users can drill down into feedback received and link it to an activity.

This screenshot shows the Feedback view in CPM, with the Continuous Feedback option highlighted.

Request Feedback / Give Feedback can be sent to several people simultaneously.

A more comprehensive interface includes the option to add a Feedback Topic and a set of questions that can be edited before sending to specify more details to the request.

Requesting and giving feedback can also be done from the Home page by selecting the corresponding Quick Action.

This screenshot shows the Quick Actions view on the Home Page.
This screenshot shows the 'Request Feedback' User Interface (UI)

The Requests Sent tab includes all requests displayed by status (Request Pending, Feedback Received, Request Declined), including the date and the option to drill down into further details.

Access to the profile card is possible to navigate into the Live Profile.

Example view of profile cards on the Requests Sent tab.

Delete Continuous Feedback

Administrators can permanently delete feedback that is unsolicited or irrelevant feedback received by others.

The administrator cannot view the feedback content. Feedback to be removed can be searched by receiver name, giver name, topic, or a specific date range.

Deletion of the feedback by the administrator will be permanent and cannot be restored.

This screenshot shows as example of the Delete Continuous Feedback page in Admin Center.

Email Notifications

Email Notifications apply to modules beyond Continuous Performance Management. These notifications are not configured within the Continuous Performance Management Administrative Console. They are configured in Admin Center under Performance Management or Company Settings under Email Notification Template Settings.

Some notifications will require the Intelligent Services Center (ISC) tool.

You can check more information about Notifications with Continuous Performance Management in the Using Continuous Performance Management guide, available in the SAP Help Portal.

This screenshot shows the Admin Center - Continuous Performance Management - Email Notifications configuration page with the CPM related emails check boxes highlighted.

AI-Assisted Writing in Continuous Performance and Continuous Feedback

The AI-Assisted Writing tool now offers advanced capabilities that can assist users in providing feedback. These new AI capabilities can be utilized to enhance the quality of feedback text in Continuous Performance and Continuous Feedback. One notable feature of AI-Assisted Writing, unique to Continuous Feedback, is the ability to Make Feedback Actionable, providing constructive suggestions that employees can take immediate action on. Users can deliver prompt, improved, and actionable feedback by leveraging AI-Assisted Writing.

This screenshot shows the 'Give Feedback' window with 'Make Feedback Actionable' highlighted, some of the AI-Assisted Writing features in CPM.

AI-Assisted Skill Inferencing from Continuous Performance Management Data

Another AI capability related to Continuous Performance Management is the ability to infer recommended skills to employees through the integration with Talent Intelligence Hub.

Recommending relevant skills to the employees enables them to build their Growth Portfolio with the important skills for their roles. The AI-assisted capabilities extract skills based on the details entered by the employee in the achievements, activities, or feedback section of Continuous Performance Management. The extracted skills are inferred as potential skills the employee might be interested in.

Overview of the Recommended for You section in Growth Portfolio, which displays AI-assisted Skill recommendations

If the inferred skill exists in the Attributes Library of Talent Intelligence Hub, it is displayed as a recommended skill in the employee's Growth Portfolio. Employees can Add the recommended skill to their Growth Portfolio or reject the recommendation. If the inferred skill doesn't exist in the Attributes Library, the skill will be added to the Attributes Library with an Inferred status. Administrators can confirm the skills that are important for organizational use.

Note

In addition to the SAP AI Units license, like the other Generative AI capabilities discussed in this learning journey, this feature requires Talent Intelligence Hub enabled. More details are available here: Recommending Skills Based on Continuous Performance Management Data.
