Performance Review Process
Once you launch performance reviews, employees fill out self reviews by answering questions and rating their overall performance. Next, reviewers—usually managers—look over employees' responses, add in-line comments, and submit the reviews to HR. At this point, you approve the review. After you approve the reviews, employees can read their reviewer's responses and acknowledge their reviews.
Reviewers and employees should talk about the reviews at some point, but this step isn't required.
The following diagram shows the performance review process.
