Review Cycles

Conversation-based assessment cycles, on a 1 to 5 scale.

Six stages of a cycle

A cycle moves in one direction; it cannot go back.

Stage	What happens
Draft	HR prepares the cycle and picks participants. Not yet visible to employees
Self-review	Employees assess themselves
Manager review	Managers assess their reports
Calibration	HR aligns assessments across managers so standards are comparable
Complete	Final results
Cancelled	The cycle was stopped

Each stage has its own deadline, and missed deadlines are flagged on the Cycles page.

Why there is a calibration stage

Different managers apply different standards without realising it. One gives a 4 for performance another would call a 3.

Calibration aligns them before the results are treated as comparable across teams.
