Clear enough to be useful. Compassionate enough to be heard. Courageous enough to make a difference.

Protect privacy: do not enter employee names, confidential health information, or other identifying details. When AI rehearsal is enabled, scenario and dialogue are sent to the configured AI service. Do not include identifying details.

Shape your feedback

Use Situation–Behavior–Impact (SBI), then invite the employee's perspective.
