  • Cycles that run on time

    Open a cycle and the whole organisation is notified; close it when it's done.

  • Reviews on the record

    Every review has a rating and a summary, and can't be finalised without a rating.

  • Goals everyone can see

    KPIs with targets and weightings, across four balanced-scorecard perspectives.

01Review cycles

A cycle for every cadence

Create annual, half-yearly, quarterly and probation cycles. Each moves from draft to active to closed, and opening or closing one notifies everyone, so nobody misses the window.

  • Annual, half-yearly, quarterly and probation cycles
  • Draft, active and closed, enforced by the server
  • Organisation-wide notifications when cycles open and close
  • Rating scale of 1–5, 1–10 or 1–100
One-to-one performance conversation

02Reviews

Structured reviews that get finished

Each review records the employee, an optional reviewer, the period, a rating and a summary. Reviews move from draft to submitted to finalised, and a review can't be finalised without a rating.

  • Draft, submitted and finalised statuses
  • Optional reviewer for every review
  • A rating and written summary on every review
  • Names still show for people who have since left

  • Active, achieved and missed statuses
