We have introduced a new feature known as Secondary Managers to the Engagedly application. This will allow users to have a reporting manager and additional managers as well. This feature was one of our most sought after customer requirements and we are happy to finally share it with Engagedly’s clients.
This feature will enable secondary managers to view goals, feedback, 360 feedback and performance reviews of their reportees across all the departments in Engagedly.
Setting up Secondary Managers
Go to Settings –> Users –> Click on the Edit icon –> Add Secondary Managers in the respective fields at the bottom. You can add as many Secondary Managers for a user as you like.
View List of Secondary Reports
If a manager wants to see a list of their secondary reports, they need to go to their Profile page and click on the Team tab. Here, they can see a list known as Secondary Reportees.
Viewing Secondary Reports’ Goals
In the Goals module, you can view the goals of your secondary reportees by going to the Goals tab and selecting Secondary Team from the dropdown menu. When this option is selected, all your secondary reports will be listed irrespective of them having goals or not. When you click on the number of goals for a secondary report, the section will expand to show a list of their goals.
Presently, Secondary Managers can only view the goals of their secondary reports. They will not be able to make any changes to the goal.
Viewing Secondary Reports’ Feedback
In the Feedback module, you can view the feedback your secondary reportees have received by going to the Feedback tab and selecting Secondary Team from the dropdown menu. When this option is selected, all your secondary reports will be listed irrespective of them having received feedback or not.
Click on the number next to each users to open up the list of feedback about that user.
*Currently, the visibility and anonymity of feedback for Secondary Managers is tightly coupled with the Respective Manager’s visibility and anonymity but unlike the Reporting Manager, Secondary Managers can only view feedback and not perform any actions.
Viewing Secondary Reports’ 360 Feedback
In the Multirater module, go to the ‘My Team’ dashboard –> Select ‘My Secondary Team’ from the drop-down. The list of your secondary reports will be listed on the dashboard if they have have been added to the present 360 feedback cycle.
You can see the feedback about them, just like their reporting manager. The visibility and anonymity settings are also honored for secondary managers too but unlike the Reporting Manager, secondary managers cannot provide overall rating/comments on the feedback form.
Viewing Secondary Reports’ Performance Review
In the Performance Module, go to the ‘My Team’ dashboard –> Select ‘My Secondary Team’ from the drop-down menu and the list of your secondary reportees will be listed down here if they have been added to the cycle as participants.
Secondary Managers can only see the performance review of their secondary reports by clicking on the View action but are limited to only viewing the data and will not be able able to provide inputs to the review. Currently, Secondary Managers also do not have the privilege to see the Recommendation Analytics or the Performance Insights for their Secondary Reports.
