Jan 12th, 2023

• General

  You can now build highly flexible and scalable organization structures within Leapsome with multi-layer team nesting (departments, business units, teams, pods, etc.). There are no limitations on the number of hierarchy levels you can build in Leapsome (e.g., Sales > Direct Sales > North America > East Coast).

  Grant access is based on parent team memberships, which means that membership of the parent team automatically gives access to data for all child teams.

  You can filter results based on parent team memberships, i.e., filtering for parent teams also includes results for child teams automatically.

  The results of the child team (e.g., survey results) get attributed to the parent team.

Jan 6th, 2023

• Reward

  You can now add salary and bonus bands within the levels defined in the development framework. This information can be accessed by proposers and approvers in the Reward module to make sure that their proposals and final approvals are within the range defined in the development framework.

• Meetings

  You can now easily take completely private notes in the newly added ‘Private Notes’ section within the meeting (valid for both 1:1s and team meetings). These notes will only be visible to you.

• Survey

  We’ve added the employee tenure filter in the survey analytics.

• Reviews

  We’ve fixed the best-practice review templates by adding non-binary pronouns to the default questions.

Dec 27th, 2022

• Reviews

  It is now possible to customize the box grid by assigning names to each grid to match your internal processes and workflows.

  You can now find the distribution of employees across the boxes for each question combination and compare them with the target distribution, which you can set for each grid size.

Dec 21st, 2022

• Surveys

  We’ve improved the survey heatmap user experience by giving insights into why certain data is not being shown. In the survey heatmap, when the anonymity threshold for a group is not met, you’d now see the column header with information that the anonymity threshold is not being met.

  You can now see the users’ team associated with the survey comment if the anonymity threshold has been met.

• Reviews

  You can now expand OKRs within the review questionnaire to see the full text.

• Instant feedback

  You can now expand the text of the requested feedback to see the full feedback.

Dec 7th, 2022

Dec 5th, 2022

• Learning

  You can now ask open-ended questions in learning paths. Learning admins can choose whether approval is required and select approvers — including the direct manager of the employee. It will unlock diverse use cases such as asking participants to respond by uploading a file, or video, submitting an open-text response, or a combination of all.

• Goals

  We’ve added the ‘location’ filter in the goals module for all users. The location of the owner/contributor of the objective/key result is used to filter the goals.

Dec 1st, 2022

• Reviews

  We’ve now made it possible to conduct review calibrations directly within the (9, 16, or 25) box grid. The size of the box adjusts based on the scale that you use in your performance review questions. You can just drag and drop employees within the grids during the calibration meeting.

  We’ve also added the calibration context for each employee with past feedback, history of calibration, and all calibration notes.

  You now see the number and percentage of employees per box.

  We’ve added employee pictures to the box-grid view.

• Learning

  It is finally possible to conduct recurring learning paths in Leapsome! It is particularly relevant for regular compliance training (eg. GDPR, data protection, etc.) but also for any other knowledge that needs regular refreshers. You can choose the frequency of re-enrollment, which happens automatically based on the completion date.

Nov 25th, 2022

• Surveys

  We’ve added score distribution for individual questions in surveys to support users to spot patterns and make sense of data. You can access the score distribution by opening the question details from the list view.

  Admins now have the flexibility to make scores (or multiple-choice answers) and/or comments mandatory for survey participants. The added flexibility provides a seamless user experience and boosts completion rates.

  We’ve revamped the design of the 5-point scales to provide a better overview and make it consistent with the NPS-scale surveys.

• Goals

  Admins can now define flexible participation in goal cycles based on users, teams, locations, and levels.

  You can now easily import your individual, team, or company goals into Leapsome. We now support up to 12 key results per goal.

Nov 24th, 2022

• Surveys

  All users can now mark survey comments as “important” and then use the filter to find just these comments.

• Reviews

  We’ve improved the experience of using radar charts to compare different groups (such as teams).

Nov 21st, 2022

• Meetings

  You can now tag people in meetings under talking points, comments, or shared notes. Only people who are participants in the meeting series can be tagged. The tagged individual will be notified.

  We’ve added the rich-text editor in talking points and comments (double-click on the meeting text to see all the options). You can finally embed URLs into a text block in talking points and comments.

• Learning

  It is now possible to add employees to learning paths based on locations or custom attributes, which would enable admins to enroll employees flexibly in learning paths.

Nov 16th, 2022

• General

  We’ve improved the demographic filter logic to surface meaningful insights. We now use the AND operator between the different filter types, for example, if you select Sales in Teams filter and Berlin in Location filter, then you’ll only see employees who are in the Sales team and based out of Berlin. You can now combine filters to uncover meaningful insights.

• Review

  We’ve launched a new 'hierarchy' filter type in review analytics that allows you to filter data for managers or individual contributors.

Nov 15th, 2022

• General

  We’ve fully revamped the user and team dashboards to make it easy to find all relevant information. Based on extensive user feedback and research, we’ve simplified finding all open tasks that need to be done and made it easy to find past reviews, progress on goals, etc.

  We have just launched an anonymous suggestion box, which employees can use at any time to provide fully anonymous feedback to the Leapsome super-admins. Super admins can enable the feature in the admin settings.

  To further enhance the accessibility of our platform and support an international workforce, we’ve enabled search for user names with special characters within the Leapsome platform.

• Integrations

  You can now sync additional managers directly from Okta to Leapsome.

Nov 14th, 2022

• Goals

  We now have the timeline progress view for each of the individual key results. You can go to the specific key result and find the graph under Progress over time. The y-axis of the graph ranges from the start value to the target value of the key result. The x-axis takes into account the deadline of the key result (if no deadline is specified then it takes the deadline of the objective).

Nov 11th, 2022

• Learning

  You can now add a passing threshold for your quizzes. For example, if you have 10 questions in the quiz and the passing threshold is 80%, then users will need to answer 8 questions correctly to pass the quiz.

  The URLs in the learning elements description (for video, article, and task) now open in a new tab to provide a smoother user experience.

• Reviews

  Our skill context panel is auto-highlighted in the side panel while filling out a review to make it easy to find all the relevant context (past feedback, expectations, goals) to avoid recency bias.

• Surveys

  We now show question trends in surveys for all questions along with the information on the survey rounds that are used to calculate the increase or decrease in the question score.

Nov 7th, 2022

• Learning

  We’ve added learning analytics to the team dashboard to give managers an overview of how their direct reports are progressing on the learning paths. Admins would need to grant managers access through the admin settings.

Aug 30th, 2022

  In addition to the generic survey benchmarks, you can now access granular benchmarks that automatically adjust to your company’s size, country, and industry — so you can benchmark with other companies that are similar to you. You’ll find the granular benchmarks by hovering over the “benchmark” text in the survey results.
