How It Works

How Guidez powers Performance Review Setup in HR Technology SaaS

1

Guide HR admins through cycle configuration

Tours walk HR administrators through review cycle creation, form customization, participant assignment, and timeline configuration — the setup tasks that determine whether the cycle runs smoothly.

2

Notify and guide managers through participation

When the review cycle opens, targeted banners notify managers of their responsibilities, deadline, and a direct link to the guided manager review workflow.

3

Walk employees through self-review completion

Employee self-review tours guide through rating scale interpretation, goal progress documentation, and competency assessment — reducing ambiguity in self-evaluation.

4

Support calibration and finalization

Calibration session tours guide managers through the rating distribution discussion, final score adjustment, and employee communication workflow.

FAQ

Performance Review Setup in HR Technology SaaS: Frequently asked questions

Guidez deflects the most common review cycle support questions: "Where do I find my employee's review?" (guided review navigation tour), "What does the rating scale mean?" (rating scale explanation overlay), "How do I access calibration?" (calibration workflow tour), and "How do I submit?" (submission confirmation tour).
Yes. Pass user_role via identify() and create completely separate review cycle tours for HR admins (cycle configuration), managers (review writing and submission), and employees (self-review completion). Each stakeholder sees only their relevant guidance.
Create calibration session tours for the manager group participating in calibration — explaining the rating distribution philosophy, how to discuss score adjustments, and the calibration tool interface. Contextual guidance at each calibration step reduces the facilitator's overhead significantly.
Yes. Create self-review writing guidance that appears contextually as employees fill in each section — explaining what strong evidence looks like, how to quantify goal progress, and how to frame competency examples. This improves self-review quality and reduces manager frustration with unhelpful self-assessments.
Create separate tour sets for each review type. When a mid-year check-in cycle opens, show the shorter check-in tour; when the annual review opens, show the comprehensive annual review tour. Each cycle type has its own guidance without requiring employees to relearn the full system every time.
