Reviews in HoorayHR: set up your organisation’s review cycle

With Reviews in HoorayHR, you set up one consistent review cycle for your whole organisation. Whether it’s an annual review, a quarterly check-in or a probation review: every conversation is well prepared, documented and followed up. When did each employee last have a review? Who are your high performers and who needs extra support in specific areas? With Reviews, you have the answer right at hand. In this blog article, we’ll tell you more about it.

Why review conversations often get put off

A good conversation about performance and development needs preparation, follow-up and documentation. Without a set process, every manager does it their own way. One schedules conversations neatly, another keeps putting them off. Questionnaires sit in separate documents and agreements are hard to find later. As a result, you lose sight of how your employees are developing, just when you need that insight for decisions about growth, promotion or extra support.

One clear approach for your whole organisation

With Reviews, you define once how your organisation reviews performance. You decide the rhythm, the questions and who gives input. Every employee then follows the same process, so everyone knows where they stand. HoorayHR prepares the reviews on time for everyone assigned to a review cycle and reminds them of the deadlines. That way, you keep the cycle running without having to chase everyone yourself.

Practical examples of what Reviews does for you

Reviews adapts to the conversations you already have. Here are a few examples of how you can use Reviews:

• Every employee gets a quarterly check-in, without you having to remind anyone
• A new colleague receives a well-founded review at the end of their probation period
• At the annual review, last year’s agreements are ready and waiting
• You set goals for the coming year together with your employee and follow them up
• An employee on an improvement plan knows exactly what is expected of them
• You see in one overview who your high performers are and who needs extra support in specific areas

Walk into every conversation well prepared

A valuable conversation starts before you sit down together. The employee and the other participants in the conversation give their input beforehand. The conversation is then no longer about what someone remembers from the past few months, but about a complete picture from several perspectives. Because the employee shares their own view first, you have a real dialogue instead of a one-sided assessment.

Agreements you can rely on

During the conversation, you keep your attention on the employee. The Meeting Agent creates an AI summary of the conversation straight away and suggests the action items. You and your employee then both approve the record. That way, you both know exactly what you agreed and you pick up the next conversation where you left off.

Get insight into your high performers

The real value lies in the bigger picture. All outcomes of completed reviews come together in one overview. You can see straight away who is performing above expectations, so you can help this talent grow and keep them on board. At the same time, you spot early on who needs extra support in specific areas. This way, you base decisions about growth, promotion and development on data instead of gut feeling.
