Feedback Requests

Ask the right people, at the right time - and turn feedback into fuel for growth.

Overview

Stop waiting for annual reviews to find out how your people are really doing. Feedback Requests lets anyone in the organisation request structured, meaningful feedback from colleagues, managers, or cross-functional partners — on demand. Whether it's a project wrap-up, a leadership development moment, or preparation for a growth conversation, Zontally makes it effortless to ask, easy to respond, and powerful to act on. AI-assisted summaries cut through the noise so managers and individuals get clear, actionable insight — not another inbox full of form responses.
