Finalise ratings and release review results

Once employees and managers have submitted their reviews, HR sets the final rating for each person, shares the results and closes the cycle.

Before you start

• The cycle must be active (launched). Final ratings can only be changed while it is active.
• You need the performance.manage permission.

Track progress

1. Go to Performance → Performance Reviews ( open Performance Reviews) and open the cycle.
2. Open the Participants tab. The cards show how many Self reviews, Manager reviews and Finalised ratings are done, and how many were acknowledged.
3. The table lists each employee's Self rating, Mgr rating and Final rating. A self or manager rating is the average of that author's rating questions.

Set final ratings

You can set ratings in bulk or one at a time.

In bulk (calibration)

1. On the Participants tab, type a final rating for each person in the table.
2. Optionally click Fill blanks from manager rating to copy the manager's rating into empty boxes.
3. Click Save final ratings.

One review at a time

1. Click an employee in the table.
2. Read the Responses side by side and the Goals in this period.
3. Under Ratings, enter the Final rating and optional Comments to the employee.
4. Click Save final rating.

Check the distribution

The Rating distribution tab shows how final ratings are spread across the scale. The Breakdown card lists how many people (and what share) got each rating, plus the Average final rating — useful for checking that ratings are not bunched at the top.

Share results with employees

Employees do not see their manager's review or final rating until you share them. You have two options:

Employees get an in-app notification in both cases and can then acknowledge their review.

A draft cycle that was never launched can be removed with Delete.
