The Performance Reports are designed to ensure that employees know exactly where they stand at work, how their progress compares to their colleagues, and specific actions they can take to improve and grow in their careers. The comprehensive performance report also helps facilitate more meaningful performance conversations between employees and managers.
After any given performance cycle, your manager will release your performance report to you and you will receive a notification.
What is visible to me in my report?
Psychological safety is very important to us. As such, at the minimum, your report will include:
Influence (if any): You will see how many people go to you for help/advice or energy/motivation. The data is anonymized, so you will see the number of people who nominated you, but you will not see their identities.
Gold Stars (if any): You will see how many Gold Stars you have received, as well as the associated comments. The data is anonymized, so you will not see the identities of who gave the Gold Stars.
Heads Ups: You will not see any data related to heads ups - how many, who it came from, the comments - none of it! If applicable, your manager will discuss this data with you during your conversation to help with your own growth and development.
