Performance Management
Goals, reviews, feedback and calibration.
Structures review cycles, goals or OKRs, continuous feedback, one-on-ones and calibration so performance conversations happen consistently.
AI-drafted review summaries and feedback suggestions are now common. Organizations are setting rules on where AI drafting is acceptable in evaluative writing.
- Review cycles
- Goals and OKRs
- Calibration
- One-on-ones and feedback
- Review cycles run on documents and take weeks to chase
- Calibration lacks a shared view of ratings and evidence
- Goals live in too many places to be useful
- How flexible are review templates, cycles and rating scales?
- How does it handle calibration and promotion decisions?
- Will managers actually use it between cycles?
