Our remote managers are struggling with giving regular feedback in Teams
We’re a mostly remote team and one issue we keep running into is that feedback only happens during formal reviews. Managers use Teams every day, but feedback tends to get buried in chats or not documented at all. Has anyone found a simple way to make regular employee feedback part of the Teams workflow without adding a lot of admin work?

100% relate to this. Feedback getting lost in chat threads was a constant problem for us. Someone would give great feedback in a message but there was no record of it when review time came around. What worked for us was Teamflect. Its a Teams app so managers don't have to leave their workflow. They can give structured feedback right there, it gets logged automatically, and when review season comes everything is already documented. The 1:1 meeting feature also helps because you can attach feedback to recurring check-ins so it becomes a habit rather than something managers have to remember to do separately.
Hi, I would keep the conversation in Teams but add a little structure around it. A recurring check-in can be a scheduled private channel post, a Forms pulse, or a simple Microsoft Lists tracker for manager follow-ups. The important thing is to make feedback visible as a habit, not only a review event. If you need sentiment trends or anonymity, Forms plus Power Automate is a decent lightweight start.
