New Online Tool From BetterMe Lets Coworkers Exchange Honest Feedback Anonymously

Betterme.com helps employees get real-time feedback before performance review time

(PRWEB) February 17, 2010 -- Even in the best of times, concern about work performance plagues us all. And in this economy, anxiety about your position and image at work can reach a fever pitch. San Francisco-based startup BetterMe (http://www.betterme.com) today announced a free online tool that gives employees the power to put those anxieties to rest, stop guessing about how they are perceived at work and actually find out.

Betterme.com (http://www.betterme.com) allows its users to learn exactly what their strengths and weaknesses are by giving and asking for specific, anonymous feedback in a private and constructive setting.

"We all have things that we need to tell each other, but don't," said Sterling Mace, Founder and CEO of BetterMe. "And some of what goes unsaid could be tremendously useful to someone who is interested in improving personally or professionally. Anonymity is crucial because it frees you to tell your coworker that her meetings are inefficient or your boss that he should ease up on the micromanagement, without the worry of retribution or backlash."

Integral to the BetterMe experience is the Feedback Request feature, which lets users ask for specific feedback knowing that they'll get honest answers from people whose opinions and perspective are most relevant.

"You should never be surprised at your annual review. You should walk into that conference room prepared to discuss what you're going to do to work on your areas for improvement," said Mace. "And having a list of positive feedback you've received certainly doesn't hurt either."

In addition to the ability to give and ask for anonymous feedback, BetterMe's Dashboard gives users an overview of their performance and shows how they stack up against others.
