Employee Observations
A single observation might not mean much alone, but a pattern of them tells you something real. FlexManager's Employee Observations module lets you log a quick positive, neutral, or negative observation, tag and classify it, and see how it trends over time, right alongside the record it relates to.
Where Employee Observations Fits Into FlexManager
Employee Observations records positive, neutral or negative observations about an employee, subcontractor or company, tagging and classifying each one for later review. An observation can be raised from the mobile app, created inline from another record, and paired with a photo and location, building a running record tied to a person over time. It’s kept as the formal counterpart to Employee Informal Notes, a separate, lighter-weight stream.
Made for Supervisors, HR and People Teams
The module supports Supervisors and Managers capturing recognition for good performance as it happens, HR and People teams building a running record tied to a person over time, and anyone who needs to find a past observation quickly or see how observations are trending for someone.
Recognition Capture
Capture recognition for good performance, so a positive moment gets recorded at the time it happens rather than only being remembered informally.
Inline Observation Creation
Create an observation inline from another record, rather than opening a separate form and re-entering details you're already looking at.
Trend Tracking
See observations trend positive or negative over time, turning individual notes into a picture of how someone is actually doing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is FlexManager's Employee Observations module?
Employee Observations is FlexManager’s module for capturing quick positive, neutral or negative observations about an employee, subcontractor or company. Each observation is tagged and classified for later review, can include a photo and location, and builds a running record tied to a person over time.
How is this different from Employee Informal Notes?
Employee Observations is the formal counterpart to Employee Informal Notes, which keeps a separate, lighter-weight stream of quick notes alongside it. Observations are tagged, classified and trended over time, making them better suited to a running, reviewable record than a casual note.
Can I see how someone's observations trend over time?
Yes. Observations can be seen trending positive or negative over time, turning a series of individual notes into a clearer picture of how someone is actually doing. Past observations can also be found quickly with search, rather than scrolling back through a long history.
