360° feedback

360° performance reviews, the full picture.

Beyond 360°

Team Pulse and manager reviews, what most competitors miss.

Most HR tools only review employees. Synthro also checks your team's temperature daily — and lets employees review their managers anonymously.

Daily Team Pulse

A short daily anonymous check-in. Your team answers one question about how they're feeling, and you see the aggregated result — not who said what. Spot morale dips before they become resignations.

100% anonymous — no individual is ever identified
Aggregated daily score visible to managers and owners
Trend line over time reveals patterns early
Correlated with burnout prediction (30-day early warning)
Zero survey fatigue — one question, once a day

Anonymous manager reviews

Employees score their managers anonymously. Results are aggregated — managers see their overall leadership score but never who gave which rating. Makes hard feedback safe enough to give.

Employees rate managers without fear of retaliation
Scores aggregated — no individual response is ever visible
Covers leadership, communication, fairness and support
Trend tracking per manager over time
Business owners see all manager scores in one view

Why this matters: most SA HR platforms only measure employees. Synthro measures the health of your team and the effectiveness of your managers — closing a loop most tools miss entirely.
