When may Ratees request feedback?

• A. As long as 60 days have passed since the last session
• B. Immediately after the previous session
• C. Only after the supervisor's approval
• D. Only at the end of the year

Answer: (A)

Ratees may request feedback after a minimum period of 60 days has passed since the last feedback session. This interval provides a steady, productive cadence for development conversations, giving both the ratee and supervisor time to observe performance, gather concrete examples, and reflect on progress before the next discussion. Asking for feedback right after the previous session doesn’t give enough new material to discuss meaningfully, and requiring supervisor approval or restricting feedback to year-end would unnecessarily delay coaching and growth. So, the 60-day minimum is the practical rule that supports timely and thoughtful feedback.
