Performance Reviews
The Performance area is where you run appraisals end to end — build the questions, assign a review to each employee, collect self-assessments and peer feedback, track goals, and record the manager's summary.
To open it, use the area switcher at the top of the left sidebar, click Switch area, and choose Performance.

How the module is organised
Under Manage, the Performance module has four tabs:
| Tab | What it's for |
|---|---|
| Performance Reviews | The reviews themselves — one per employee, per period. |
| Feedback Requests | Asking specific people to give peer/supervisor feedback. |
| Employee Feedback Templates | The reusable sets of questions a review is built from. |
| Employee Goals | Every goal across all employees, in one place. |
Under Personal, the Reviews module is the employee's own view — where each person completes their self-assessment and answers feedback requests.
