New: Performance Review V2

We've launched an all-new version

20 March, 2026

Structured framework

Built from the ground up for structured data perfect for insights and reporting, so review data becomes queryable, comparable and useful.

Customer-driven platform

Easier to iterate on customer requests; feedback turns into real product improvements faster.

Future-proofed architecture

A platform designed to unlock entirely new capabilities without painful migrations.

Scalable

Handles large orgs and complex review programs reliably and predictably.

New Cycle Configuration

  • Scopes — Define who’s in scope for a cycle; self review and / or manager

  • Due dates — Enforced deadlines and sensible reminders.

  • Pick participants at scale — Select hundreds of employees in one go.

  • Deploy in bulk — Launch review cycles across teams/orgs with one action.

  • Packet sharing — Share pre-built review packets to speed rollouts.

The 9 Box Matrix visualises employee performance against potential.

The matrix then categorises employees into segments such as:

  • High potential

  • Solid performer

  • Risk

  • Star

This helps with talent planning and succession decisions.

  • Spot alignment (or gaps) between employees and managers

  • Highlight areas needing attention
