Are the observations and comments I provide anonymous?

Yes. The person you are responding to will never see your specific replies linked to your name. Your replies will be combined with the observations from at least 4 other people and placed in a random order before they see them. If you use a specific term or language that is unique to you in the 2 free text responses, they could link that comment back to you. If you write your name as part of the text responses, well that is also a bit of a give-away!

Is my data confidential and secure?

Yes. We will not share your personal data with anyone.

Should I also respond to the questions myself?

Ideally yes. As your opinion is meaningful when you compare it with how others experience you. You can complete this from the 'What do do while you wait' section in the drop down menu.

Can I remove a person from my Yoowa group after the invitation is sent to them?

Yes you can. This is sometimes necessary if the person you have invited is unable or not keen to respond.

Can I remove a person from my Yoowa group after they have provided their observations?

No. Once they have responded, it cannot be removed from this round. You can however run a second round and then exclude them from that.

When can I see the responses from my people?

Your report will be ready to be generated once all the people you invited have completed their responses. If some people are taking too long or have declined to respond, you can still generate your report if 5 or more people have responded (excluding yourself if you completed the 'Your Opinion' section).

How do I know when people have responded?

You'll get email updates or you can log back in to see.

What if someone I invite is unable or not keen to respond?

That's cool. You can simply remove them from the list of your Yoowa group and replace them with someone else.

Can I change the wording of the invitation?

No, to keep things simple the standard invitation wording cannot be changed at this stage. You can however send the people you invite a short note via email or chat in advance to position it if you wish.

Can I change a person's name or email address once the invitation has been sent?

No, you would need to delete the respondent's details and add them back onto the list again. The link from the first invitation sent will no longer work

If I complete the 'Your Opinion' section, do my responses affect the numbers next to each question in my Blended Feedback?

No, the numbers that appear next to the responses in your Blended Feedback exclude your responses. Your responses are clearly indicated and separate. You can view how this looks in the Blended Feedback SAMPLE.

Can I remind people who are not responding?

Yes. Keep in mind that the Yoowa system will send out one automated reminder email after 7 days reminding the people who have not yet responded. You can of course send a personal reminder too via email or phone if it will help. Just not too often though, we find that harassment is a poor motivator in this case ;)

Who is Yoowa for?

Yoowa is for people with some curiosity. For those that wonder how others see and experience them. For those who'd like to know what impact they have on others without having to guess.

What is Yoowa 'not about'

Yoowa is not about 'fixing broken people'. Yoowa is for the majority of us who are doing great, or good, or just 'not bad'. It's for those who wonder if they could be even better than the pretty cool person they already are.

Why is the filter by gender or relationship in my Blended Feedback not working?

To keep the feedback anonymous, Yoowa can only permit filtering on Gender or Relationship if there are at least 3 people in the category selected (e.g. female) and at least 3 in the category which was not selected (e.g. male). Filtering is a ‘nice to have’ feature but is not essential to the value you get from the process. We don’t tell a person about the filtering feature when they are selecting their people as it may cause them to include people to provide feedback that would not have been their first choice.
