Performance Management

Reviews

v1.30.0

Reviews can be created from review templates that contain feedback questions and configured to collect and share feedback across five user groups on the platform; a reviewee (employee), a reviewer (manager), internal users, external users and direct reports. They pull together these feedback responses along with objectives, awards, real-time feedback and skills and skill level changes to present a regular assessment of the reviewee's performance. Question scoring from across the feedback is used to present success circles that show the user's performance at a glance, per competency. A conversation function is also available through-out the full review process, along with review template details and notification settings.
