FAQs
Questions about this use case
What should a small-business performance system include?
Start with employees and managers, measurable goals, short progress updates, a review conversation, a follow-up action with a named person responsible, reminders, and a simple status dashboard.
Do we need annual ratings?
Not automatically. Use ratings only when they support a clear decision and the scale can be explained. Many small teams can begin with goals, evidence, strengths, development needs, and follow-up.
Can the owner or operations manager administer it?
Yes. A trained business administrator can maintain fields, choices, reminders, views, permissions, and dashboards without sending every change to a development queue.
How do we keep reviews consistent?
Use shared core prompts, visible expectations, relevant examples, clear deadlines, and a defined follow-up. Consistency does not require identical goals for every role.
What happens when the team grows?
Add review types, role criteria, calibration, integrations, permissions, and governance only when the business needs them; keep the underlying records connected.
What should stay private?
Define employee, manager, owner, and restricted people-record access before launch. Do not put sensitive notes into broadly visible team views.
