Review Cycles

Windows that open performance reviews — cycle admin, not the review write-up itself.

The window

When reviews are open

Review cycles define the window and population. The write-up lives on Performance reviews.

Create the cycle, set dates, launch, close when done. Do not type ratings into the cycle row.

HR admins. Managers write on reviews. Employees participate when included.

Create, launch, monitor dashboard, close.

Annual kickoff. A delayed cycle. Population miss. After calibration.

Window, not the rating

Reviews hold the content. Compensation is a later payroll step.

Define the cycle, then people write reviews.

Cycles are the window. Reviews are the write-ups. Calibration is the fairness meeting.

1. Population is Employee

Not candidates.

2. Don’t edit ratings here

Reviews screen.

3. Close cleanly

So dashboards don’t show a zombie cycle.
