Further information

Who can complete a performance review?
Both primary and ‌secondary managers can complete a performance review. Users with admin permission settings can select if the primary manager, the secondary manager, or both, will complete the performance reviews within their organisation.
Who can see an employee's review comments?

A manager can only see the other manager's notes when the manager has published the review.

Admins can download the CSV file of the review in the Review Periods module. In the CSV the comments will be visible, even if they are yet to publish this data. But if you click the Print button to print the review period details, then the overall rating will not be shown unless the manager has published their answers.

Can I change who can see a performance review?

Yes. In Settings > Custom Security Settings > Other Permissions > Performance Review Settings/Performance Review Responses, you can give custom permissions to these users. To find out how to create a custom security group, click on this link.

  • Hi Adrienne Murray - thanks for your comment.

    To see performance review templates/examples, select the Performance menu item, then select Performance Review Management. From here, select Manage review settings, then select Review Templates. Select Add new review template, and in the drop-down box under Rating Scale Template, you should see the following options:

    • Standard
    • Performance
    • Behaviour
    • Goals
    • Values

    Once you have selected one of these, the names and descriptions of the review items will automatically populate. From there, you can select Add New at the bottom of the list to add your own company-specific review items.
