What is Upward Feedback?
A performance management practice where employees provide structured, often anonymous feedback to their direct managers about leadership behaviors, communication effectiveness, and team support, used to develop managerial skills and improve workplace dynamics.
Why it matters in hiring
Upward Feedback comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
