As an employee, a performance review is a crucial part of your appraisal process. It evaluates your work and detects areas to improve upon, both in the professional and personal realms. The My Performance Review feature enables you to submit your review, answer questions set by your organisation, and edit or print the information.

You can manage your Next Goals to help you demonstrate how your performance is progressing against expectations.

Helpful Hint

The goals shown in the Performance Review are the employee's goals that are due within the timeframe of the Performance Review.
