Existing Feedback Mechanisms/Solutions

Open Source Feedback Systems?

Are there any Open Source feedback systems we can use and/or learn from.

Gather Requirements

Gather requirements from people you know who either work or have worked somewhere they don't love. What specifically would they like to have in a feedback system?

Examples

@conorc1000:

Previous feedback experience

Conor worked for a civil engineering company run by a husband and wife. The husband was the boss of the company and the wife was the company secretary. They would have an appraisal once a year where you could voice your opinion about anything regarding the company and your experience within it. However, this appraisal was more of a box ticking exercise and the feedback given wouldn't filter through to the boss which meant that no action could be taken on it, rendering the whole thing a bit pointless.

Ideal feedback experience

Conor's ideal feedback system would consist of a free text input where you could voice your opinion on the organisation that you work with. He would have two toggles, one for anonymity and then the other for privacy. By switching the toggles on the feedback it would mean that you could attach your name to it, or not, and you could also say whether or not you would prefer if the feedback was kept private or made public. He said that it might be good to have an incentive to give feedback as well so that more people would get involved.

Previous feedback experience

Rory worked for a spread-betting platform in London and said that he had similar opportunities to give feedback in the form of appraisals. His perception was that the feedback wasn't absorbed sufficiently and that it got lost among the noise.

Ideal feedback experience

Rory's ideal feedback experience would be one with the ability to give anonymous feedback about anything that was going on within the organisation. Also he would want to open discussions about decisions that the agency makes in order to further understand the way it functions and why. Rory also believes that feedback should have the option to be private so that people are protected if neccessary (you might be able to work out the identity of a person just by the way they phrase something or the context in which they are talking).
