Subject: Quick request for feedback
Hi Jess,
I'd really value your feedback on how I'm going in my role. Is there anything you'd like me to keep doing, and one or two things I could do better or differently?
I'm happy to chat in our next one-on-one, or to grab 15 minutes whenever suits you.
Kind regards,
Sam
Hi Jess, before my probation review, could we find 15 minutes to talk about how I'm going and anything I should focus on? Thanks, Sam
Hi Jess! Now that the rostering project is wrapped up, I'd love a quick chat about how I went. Keen to hear what worked and what I could tweak. Thanks! Sam
Frequently asked questions
How do I ask my manager for feedback?
Keep it short and specific: say you'd value their feedback, ask one or two clear questions (what's working, what to do differently), and suggest a time that suits them, such as your next one-on-one. A low-pressure request makes it easy for them to say yes.
Should I ask for feedback by email or in person?
Either works. A short email or chat message is a good way to ask, and the conversation itself often goes best in person or on a call. This tool writes the request; the feedback itself is usually better as a conversation.
When should I ask for feedback?
Good moments are after you finish a piece of work, a few weeks into a new job, before your probation review, and before a performance review — so you have time to act on what you hear.
What should I do with the feedback?
Thank them, note the key points, and agree one or two things to work on. Keeping a simple record (for example in our free Achievement Tracker) makes reviews and resume updates much easier later.
