A Performance Review is a customizable questionnaire form in Officevibe which allows the Cycle Owners and Executive Managers to collect reviews on the work performances of various teams within an organization.
There are two types of review forms - Manager Reviews and Self Reviews.
- Manager review: The review filled in by the Direct Manager, to assess their employee's performance.
- Self review: The review filled in by any participant with a Direct Manager, to assess their own performance.
Both Manager Reviews and Self Reviews are created by Cycle Owners and/or Executive Managers for the purpose of Performance Management. A Manager cannot create a review but participates in Manager reviews where they can review their direct reports.
Please see Performance roles, rights and visibility to understand how the different roles interact with this feature, their rights, and who has visibility on what.
