Product Updates
In recent months, TruQu has studied the realization of an API, so that all employees can include their developments in the personnel file.
If you are curious about the developments around the API, please contact customerservice@truqu.com
To organize a performance cycle, a date in the past can now also be selected. This can align your cycle with the quarters in the year.
After the MVP to make reflections transparent with the auto-sharing feature. We’ve made some changes to make the module even more user-friendly. Coaches within your organization can now see a simpler overview of the reflection reports within the teams.
The contents of the reports can be viewed once the report has been shared. Team members can individually request feedback on the reflection report. This step is now part of writing the reflection, so TruQu prevents team members from overlooking the function.
Tip! Via the data settings from the management panel, you can ensure that reflection reports are open to coaches by default. Then nothing needs to be shared manually.
You probably remember our monster illustrations that appeared throughout the product. TruQu wants to create a more neutral appearance for customers. That is why we have made the choice to replace all illustrations within the application. The new style matches the corporate identity of our new website. View it at https://truqu.com/
For the optimal guidance of your employees in a large organization, we recommend creating teams. As soon as you start rearranging these, it is now possible to delete all old teams immediately.
Still made a mistake in a template that is live? That is no problem now, because you can now adjust the texts in a published template. So no data analyzes that are interrupted, because a template has to be republished. Want to know more about this? Check out the “Template analysis” function in the management panel.
You can follow the activity of an employee via the activity page. The shared actions are immediately visible and the reflection report can also be prepared by default (via the settings) by you as an administrator. We’ve added a new feature to the reflection report. As a result, it is now also possible to reopen an already completed reflection report. In your role as administrator, you can therefore easily help colleagues who want to enrich the report.
We’re super excited to let you know that it’s now possible to comment more often when you’ve received feedback. A chat box has been created so that you can talk back and forth. Continue to discuss the feedback received with your colleague. Did you receive a nice response? Then click on the heart ❤️ so that your colleague sees that you appreciate it!
Sometimes a reflection is meant for a short check in. Then the employee can share this report for information. For the more extensive development interviews, it is desirable to have the report supplemented by a coach. In that case, the employee shares the report and also asks for feedback.
As an administrator, you can determine the settings for the entire organization. If you are in the lead for the development from HR, you only choose the ‘admin option’. Do you also work with managers who have a coaching role in TruQu? Then you can also give the coaches the same rights.
