Interactive Reviews

Give teams the tools to work together on appraisals and performance reviews, with space for two-way feedback between managers and staff, making performance reviews a living, breathing exercise that engages teams and helps individuals understand how they’re doing.

360-Degree Feedback

Request feedback from peers, colleagues and teammates, to build a fuller picture of performance that looks at all different angles. This popular performance review methodology gives teams a more accurate idea of individual skills, behaviours and competencies.

360-Degree Feedback
Custom Processes

Custom Processes

Design your own performance reviews, choosing which steps to add, which people need to be involved, and how often things need to happen. Design screens, add custom fields, and specify what needs to happen at each stage to ensure performance is managed the way you like it.

Automate Everything

Let your performance reviews run like clockwork, with no need to check on dates and deadlines, and no need to chase managers or staff for their input. Just decide what should happen when, and watch it all unfold – including custom steps like automatic periodic reports to senior management.

Frequently Asked Questions About Performance Management

Can we customise the review templates to match our culture?+
All review templates are fully customisable, and you can add your own questions, rating scales, and sections. We actually encourage you to base these around your companies culture and values, because it is how you will measure performance in relation to the things most important to you. You can use different templates for different roles, departments, or cycles. And if you’d prefer not to build from scratch, you can select a pre-built template and go from there.
Won’t managers just ignore this?+
Sense HR is designed for managers who hate doing reviews. We’ve made it mobile-first, with simple flows and auto-reminders to ensure deadlines aren’t missed. If you like, you can also let managers use AI to draft summaries from their notes. Customer data shows that 85% of performance reviews are completed within 14 days of their due date.
Can we use it to do performance-based pay reviews?+
Yes, you can link performance outcomes to pay review cycles! What’s more, you can even let managers add salary recommendations, then connect these to approval workflows that get pushed to payroll if the right people sign them off.
How does AMI help with reviews?+
Your AI assistant AMI can draft review responses from your meeting notes or your 1:1 history. AMI can also anonymise and summarise 360 feedback, to give you themes for each individual, and to suggest development actions based on performance gaps. The manager remains responsible for the content of the final review – but AMI can take a lot of the heavy lifting out of the equation.
