Ideas for StaffCircle Feature Requests as submitted to our Feature Upvote board. Ideas are ordered by 'new' and the 50 top matches are included. pr_cv9hgqgoojxbryb 2025-05-18T12:19:04Z sug_dk3k6ay7mblxike 2026-04-07T10:36:59Z 2026-04-27T07:46:49Z Objective update experience needs simplifying as the current objective pop‑up creates unnecessary steps. Users must read instructions, open sections, and select prompts before they can take a simple action like typing a progress update. To improve usability, I would suggest: - Moving the 'information section directly beneath the title so context is immediately clear. - Removing one of the two 'is this objective completed' questions. - Opening the progress section by default, with an active dialogue box ready for typing. - Remove the requirement to select 'on track' etc if it is already selected as often, it doesn't need changing. This would make instructions largely unnecessary so they can be removed too and it will allow users to focus on updating progress quickly. sug_pas7ddsdxsebewj 2026-02-27T09:14:58Z 2026-04-27T07:46:37Z When managers want to go back in to complete a PDR, instead of the 'manage' button, there now seems to be a blue 'run review' button. This terminology is confusing, should it not still say 'manage' or even 'edit review'? sug_eths4lampnmq4gr 2026-04-08T10:15:48Z 2026-04-27T07:45:23Z Following the public inquiry into the Grenfell Tower tragedy, our industry has rightly become far more regulated. A central feature of these reforms is the strengthened focus on competence management. Several industry papers now reference five defined competence levels (A–E), which cannot currently be mapped within StaffCircle. Introducing a fifth competence level, even as an optional configuration for organisations, would not only enable alignment for my organisation but could also open doors for StaffCircle across the construction sector and its wider supply chain. sug_kub4xi0ake10qim 2026-04-09T09:40:54Z 2026-04-27T07:43:24Z There may be an opportunity to enhance the manager review experience by simplifying how review comments are added, reducing the need for separate pop‑up windows. The review preview already provides strong visibility of: - Colleague feedback - Awards and recognition - Reviewee’s own input The pop up doesn't share all this information. Allowing managers to edit directly within this preview, rather than moving into a separate pop‑up, could significantly improve the experience. This approach would: - Reduce the number of clicks needed to complete a review - Create a more intuitive and natural flow - Provide managers with sight of all feedback and awards received without saving and closing and opening up the review again - Help managers focus on the quality of feedback rather than system navigation - Improve completion rates and consistency across review cycles Simplifying the review journey in this way could increase adoption, support compliance, and help customers get more value from the platform with less effort. sug_1dzjhfqoniyg44w 2026-04-15T14:19:26Z 2026-04-27T07:42:56Z Ability to input daily hours for employees who do not work a standard working week. sug_nc7hc3ffamnpown 2026-04-15T14:24:27Z 2026-04-27T07:42:47Z In the objectives section, add Site as an option (this is where our business is split into different companies). At the moment there is only the option to include Company or Department objectives but we have 4 businesses within the platform which are under 'Site' so it would be good for employees in each business to just see the objectives relative to the company that they work for. sug_utpg7sjyil8ryo6 2026-03-23T16:21:23Z 2026-03-23T16:21:22Z When setting up a Review Template, there should be the option to mark the Direct Report, Internal Reviewer, and External Reviewer feedback as anonymous. This means when any of those review participants provides feedback, it is not known to the Reviewer, who provided the feedback and remains completely anonymous (the same as the anonymous engagement surveys). sug_2t4xeglkrpinu4a 2026-03-03T11:04:26Z 2026-03-16T08:54:51Z Is it possible to get the definitions in a drop down menu underneath each skills so that people can review the definition that way versus using the hover feature over the "i" symbol by the definition?  sug_9opiv4cy1owohix 2026-03-03T14:40:20Z 2026-03-16T08:54:48Z Allow personal statement box to be configured off and not visible to employees in the career development page. Even better if we could filter all areas of this page. sug_b7vpbulxdknketr 2026-03-06T12:56:16Z 2026-03-16T08:54:45Z We link awards to rewards points which our employees claim as vouchers. The system doesn't allow us to say that X award points have been claimed which means that unless we keep a manual report offline or delete the award entirely employees don't know what they can claim or not. Is there any way that a button to change an award and therefore the points to "claimed" could be added so that its clearer? sug_zkiawjvmkrjgqfb 2026-03-10T15:38:03Z 2026-03-16T08:54:41Z Allow article posts to be cloned. Comments from customer: "We frequently post new starter posts or job vacancies, and it would be ideal like our other platforms if we could 'clone' the post and edit as necessary." sug_xpdwvbhxihdq6xj 2026-03-13T16:33:39Z 2026-03-16T08:54:40Z Reviews and objectives appear in pop-ups which are extremely small. When opening up an objective or review (on a laptop screen especially) the space for editing accounts for less than 20% of the overall screen. If all drop down's were collapsed by default, it would help. But the overall size is just too small to work in. All pop-up windows just present headings. sug_eqxtybxqb9oomz2 2026-03-13T16:46:04Z 2026-03-16T08:55:58Z Realistically a review conversation will start with looking at progress against objectives, then possibly a skill review and then you would leave comments/answer feedback questions. Right now the running order is the wrong way around. You have to answer feedback questions before seeing the progress against objectives. sug_jbet0miveszndiy 2026-02-16T16:00:55Z 2026-03-02T09:04:19Z The font is currently white on the training dashboard which can't be read on a pale grey and white background. Can it be black please? sug_f60bvtsqlwlacwf 2026-02-09T16:10:36Z 2026-03-02T09:04:18Z This has caused managers confusion at Easyfundraising as it's not intuitive to click the arrow, they would prefer a filter icon that is more recognisable. sug_r3kz2ikstiqnzcd 2026-02-16T16:11:51Z 2026-03-02T09:04:17Z The training dashboard displays the initials of up to five users who have completed the training. Once six or more users have completed it, there is no way to see the total number of completions, which makes this field effectively unusable. Can it be changed to a figure please? Additionally the date you select 'completed' on a training objective becomes the date StaffCircle logs the date the course was attended which is affecting data accuracy. For this data to be accurate, it means that myself/line managers must select 'completed' on the day training has taken place (which isn't always possible) or revisit every record and manually change the completed date. sug_h8ftssnftbzuwhu 2026-02-16T16:29:58Z 2026-03-02T09:04:16Z I amended the view to include the fields that are relevant for my monthly reports but when I export the data, it is fixed to a standard template. I need to report on training hours per month but at present I will have to work this out manually. sug_jlgreho2wtwtogq 2026-02-18T10:41:54Z 2026-03-02T09:04:15Z On the Career Development tab, under the Development Objectives module, all objectives are visible. Shouldn't these just be development/training related ones and not OKRs, etc? sug_ivbsrwtlew66lik 2026-02-25T13:15:59Z 2026-03-02T09:04:10Z In the Course Library view, the course category labels aren’t visible because both the font and our branding colour appear in white. I’ve temporarily changed the branding to another company colour so the categories can be seen, but this has also changed the sidebar colour. Because the sidebar text is black, the new background colour has significantly reduced contrast and no longer meets our digital accessibility requirements. All of the category chips inherit the same background colour as the sidebar, which makes it difficult to choose a colour that keeps the Course Categories visible *and* maintains accessible contrast levels on the sidebar. Would it be possible to update the Course Categories so they follow the same style as the other columns in the library? Alternatively, either changing the course category font to black or setting the sidebar background to white would help. sug_czctwpsfpqdzob4 2026-02-05T12:58:02Z 2026-03-02T09:03:34Z Currently limited to templates and training objective. We use OKRs which means only managers and super users can input OKRs which is significant administrative burden for us. If this isn't possible, can we at least be able to create a template OKR? sug_byabpj4sfdp0k4k 2026-01-29T13:38:39Z 2026-02-04T14:36:19Z Be able to lock down manager permissions so they can make amends but not amend critical personal information like DOB and home address. Make amends so there is an option for managers to not even see this information either for GDPR reasons. sug_yi4ipwbuvjglcjf 2024-11-26T15:24:03Z 2026-02-04T14:19:34Z Allow for manual updates to company OKRs that are not linked to departments sug_5kzausq9t1dtvet 2026-01-27T12:26:52Z 2026-01-29T09:03:22Z The system currently makes you add the key results first which has created a lot of confusing in my company. Also the Add Key Result button is not intuitive, it should say 'Save'. Staff are typing in the key result and then clicking next when they have finished and losing the key result they just typed. sug_6y6e9jlxf4s4tzh 2026-01-27T12:29:39Z 2026-01-29T09:03:19Z Field label on the button is not intuitive, it should say 'Save'. Staff are typing in the key result and then clicking next when they have finished and losing the key result they just typed. The current field label implies you want to add another key result - which you don't when you think you're all done and ready for the next step. Hope that makes sense. Very simple thing but causing loads of frustrations with my management team of 50+ right now. sug_d9esfiblljj7xla 2026-01-28T10:28:13Z 2026-01-29T09:03:03Z Within the Review Summary Report: Create a new field/column which displays the total number of scored questions that the Review Score field is based upon. Requested by Engeli. sug_zrmw8oyyllm5bow 2023-08-02T16:07:57Z 2026-01-27T16:02:37Z Employees and their managers should have visibility of the star rating they have been provided with their feedback. The employee can see how the star rating effects the success circle, however they cannot see this in the profile area. Likewise, the manager cannot see the star rating on the review details page. sug_znefd8sztg8exgk 2026-01-23T16:00:18Z 2026-03-09T11:18:11Z Not being able to make the secure data template a required field can be frustrating. We are adding people to the system so they can go onto payroll, and we have numerous people not supplying their banking details, which is essential information. sug_aonsii5wky8tkhc 2026-01-20T14:39:54Z 2026-01-20T15:49:42Z Open Cosmos have raised this with the following scenario: Manager goes on prolonged leave, they want to be able to assign an additional approver to pick up requests for the team members of the manager on leave. Current options and why they won't work: 1. change the manager - this affects reporting and the org chart 2. create separate policies where the additional approver is assigned, this will be a huge task and could create a large number of policies 3. HR to update it - large resource drain on an already busy team It would be beneficial to be able to have a field in the persons time off area where you can add an additional approver so it just relates to that user and not everyone in the policy. sug_7id1fmjxqotexag 2026-01-09T14:31:53Z 2026-01-19T15:10:00Z Currently, we can assign skills by department, but in many cases, a skill needs to be assigned across a hierarchy—for example, all line managers or all frontline staff. As organizations define their own groups, enabling skill assignment to these groups would provide greater flexibility and efficiency. sug_ryzjviejyo8qlcq 2026-01-15T19:41:18Z 2026-01-19T15:04:13Z Open Cosmos have requested the ability for all to see the organisation chart in the tree diagram rather than the directory view. This will allow a better visual for department structures. sug_m5jvoir0jelp6vf 2026-01-15T19:58:58Z 2026-01-19T15:02:13Z Oscar Mayer would like to be able to limit the full menu list within a user's profile so manager's are not able to view personal/sensitive information such as DOB, address, misconduct etc. sug_rkdzemcr2daohzc 2026-01-15T20:00:37Z 2026-01-19T14:58:21Z Oscar Mayer would like to be able to turn off permanently the who's celebrating section in the manager today screen. It can be managed by individuals but not globally. Some widgets do not apply such as who's celebrating, H&A etc. sug_quepysfyx8rtcgt 2026-01-16T08:51:12Z 2026-01-19T14:58:30Z Raised by Open Cosmos, they would like all absence types apart from holiday and remote work requests to be approved. By managing this via the absence type and not the policy provides more flexibility. sug_3ubq3vul1l6ios7 2026-01-16T13:37:12Z 2026-01-19T14:43:21Z sug_66uigh5rh2xlvhr 2025-10-02T15:22:55Z 2026-02-04T14:34:57Z Currently we have to go to a feed and then a recognition tab we've created and then click the (quite small) star icon to recognise employees. Recognition is an important part of our culture and so a more obvious button perhaps in the left hand menu would be easier to access. This is frequent feedback we get from employees. sug_lfdlt4ige2cvmxr 2022-01-21T10:50:18Z 2026-01-07T13:30:11Z Will a timesheet function be available? sug_elvxwrcbmd6gujo 2021-12-06T11:14:17Z 2026-01-07T09:33:37Z There is already an external ID which you can add for each user - this can be a payroll number for instance. So we need to add External IDs (eg: payroll no) to the Salary Overview Report for reconciliation with the payroll system sug_ehvpbszuxinvk1v 2021-11-30T11:23:55Z 2026-01-07T09:31:30Z Would be good to have the option to view the posts on the wall in full screen instead of only opening to a side screen window sug_n24n13xtskctevy 2025-09-09T15:56:43Z 2025-09-15T10:35:59Z Allow remote probation and review meetings to be held in Staff Circle via video conferencing (Teams, Zoom, Google etc) with co-pilot to transcribe and summarise meetings and automate review forms. This allows for both manager and employee to focus on the meeting and not worry about capturing all the detail to complete the review form later or become a distraction in the meeting. sug_fkphab2sg8lnnml 2025-09-03T12:49:39Z 2025-09-15T10:38:30Z Following the calibration of mid-year or end-of-year performance ratings, we ask people leaders to discuss any changes with their employees and then update SuccessFactors (SC) to reflect the new rating. If a people leader is unable to complete this update in SC, it would be helpful for the SC administrator to have the ability to make the change on their behalf. This ensures we have confidence that the correct ratings are recorded in the system. If any HR issues arise, we can reliably refer to the ratings in SC. Currently, we maintain a separate spreadsheet outside the system to track correct ratings, which feels counterproductive given that SC should be the single source of truth. sug_r927v6mgegkwiup 2025-07-16T14:12:18Z 2025-09-08T12:43:46Z It's quite important to us to be able to recognise team achievements as part of the recognition programme. StaffCircle does not have the ability to assign award to a whole team or department which could be quite hard for managers to nominate and reward bigger teams. sug_jkildqndwwujyko 2025-07-16T14:10:32Z 2025-09-08T12:43:44Z It would be great if employees get a notification that their responses have been recorded when submitting a survey. It still causes people to be uncertain about whether they have done it or not, it's also good to get an acknowledgement. sug_n8qqkfwatzohuos 2025-07-05T08:01:37Z 2025-07-07T07:02:06Z We can download a PDF of a review which includes an update on objectives; however, it doesn't currently appear to include any comments or conversations on the objective. Can this be included or alternatively can we have the ability to download a full PDF of the objective the same way we can with the reviews? sug_bag1wrrac4lqddq 2025-06-05T07:42:09Z 2025-06-16T09:24:07Z Hello, could we add the external system identifier to the reports already in Staff Circle for things such as holiday, skills, roles so that we have the option to anonymise the reports if needed. This is because sometimes we are required to provide reports as evidence for audits but currently have to spend some time replacing employee name with their system ID for GDPR so would make this a lot easier. Thanks, sug_v4gyxe7mrsm9nzg 2025-05-22T08:10:32Z 2025-06-16T09:24:07Z It would be great to be able to archive or hide roles that are no longer active within the business. At the moment, the only option is to delete them, but this then obviously deletes all trace from employee profiles. I like to keep the platform focused and up-to-date, and can see it starting to become unwieldy with out of date roles as our business continues to grow and develop. sug_qfo5pnzaauxzk78 2025-05-14T10:15:41Z 2025-05-14T10:15:41Z As a Manager I want to be able to select my employee and allocate them X number of objectives - I don't want to have to add each one individually and instead want to select multiple objectives and save in one go. sug_ndlmlg03vhfdhsz 2025-05-12T12:51:46Z 2025-05-20T15:39:18Z Use of AI to help build out development plans based off skills assessments per employee to then be visible in the employee's development area. sug_u2tglprn5zmbz4b 2025-05-08T15:19:16Z 2025-05-09T12:25:50Z The who's celebrating panel in my "today" dashboard isn't sorted by date order - this makes it far less useful , can you change this sug_ibek7y6tzbmrfnj 2025-04-23T13:50:13Z 2025-05-06T07:16:17Z A notes section available to the manager and employee against the employees skills. This will allow them to make comment on why they have selected the skill level and provide updates on how the employee is improving against those skills. sug_ibjrkxkpop1vupg 2025-03-26T17:18:10Z 2025-03-27T16:40:54Z When completing survey's allow users to save their progress and continue at a later point.
