Performance reviews that fit a small team

Write and share reviews, then add objectives and one-to-ones when you need them. Each person’s reviews and notes stay with their employee record.

  • 3 levelsBelow, meets or exceeds expectations
  • 1 to 5Review areas, named by you
  • 12 monthsFlags anyone who hasn’t been reviewed in a year
  • The day beforeReminders for both people ahead of a one-to-one

Reviews

Write a review in one sitting

Rate your chosen areas, such as delivery, communication and teamwork, and add notes where needed. Reviews save as you type and stay private until shared. Employees are notified when a review is ready to read.

  • Choose whether HR, line managers or both write reviews
  • Shared reviews are locked to preserve the original record
  • Each profile shows when that person was last reviewed

Review rounds

Track progress through each review round

Choose everyone, a department or selected people and set a due date. Track progress as reviews are completed. In the final week, reviewers get one email listing outstanding reviews.

  • Reviews written during the round join it automatically
  • See review progress and the spread of ratings for a round or the past 12 months

Objectives

Set objectives with clear status and deadlines

HR or line managers set objectives with a description and due date. They update the status as On track, At risk or Off track. Overdue objectives stand out, and employees can see what they’re working towards.

  • Objectives sit beside the review and the one-to-one, so they come up in conversation
  • See every objective’s status across the company in one view

One-to-ones

An agenda you can both add to

Schedule weekly, fortnightly, monthly or one-off meetings. Managers and employees can add talking points and notes, and keep their own entries private. When the meeting is marked as held, unfinished points carry over.

  • Past meetings are kept with their notes
  • Both people get a reminder the day before

A team view for every line manager

When enabled, the My team page shows each direct report’s latest review, next one-to-one and leave status. Managers only see information for their own team.
