Types of Performance Review

The MyPeople platform supports four different types of performance review. Each type offers flexibility in how feedback is gathered, scored, and used in performance conversations.

Employee & Supervisor Reviews:

• Employees complete their self-assessment first.

• Once submitted, their manager is notified and completes their side of the review.

• Managers can view employee scores and comments before adding their own.

• Only the manager’s scores are used to calculate the employee’s overall score.

• Both perspectives are shown in the employee’s review report, which serves as the basis for the performance discussion.

• Most common review type and used as part of inclusive and progressive performance review programmes

Self-Assessment Reviews:

• The review is sent to employees for their views on their own performance
• The manager does not complete the review but can access the results
• Suited to situations where manager scoring is not feasible or where employees are encouraged to own their development

Supervisor-Only Reviews:

• The review is sent directly to the manager.

• The employee does not complete a self-assessment.

• Suited to situations where self-assessment is not appropriate or practical, but manager feedback is still required.

Peer Reviews:

• Configured for one employee at a time.

• Multiple respondents can be invited (manager, peers, reports, the employee themselves).

• Scores are aggregated across respondents.

• Weighting can be applied to each respondent type (e.g., manager feedback counts more than peer feedback).

• Provide a rounded perspective of an employee’s performance, drawing on feedback from multiple viewpoints. 

• Best suited for taking a deeper dive into a specific individual's performance rather than organisation-wide review programmes.
