Make employee reviews worth the conversation.
A useful review connects expectations, evidence and a next step. ElevenOS Growth includes performance tools in the same broader workspace as employee records, helping teams organize their review process.
A practical guide to performance reviews with ElevenOS.

Set expectations before the review starts
Choose criteria that reflect the role and explain them to employees before the review period. A support specialist and a branch supervisor may need different evidence. Agree the review window and owner, then test the supported review setup with a small group before a company-wide cycle.
Bring context to manager feedback
Ask reviewers to use specific work examples and record what should continue or change. Keep sensitive feedback within the appropriate access scope. Attendance information can provide context where relevant, but an isolated attendance number should not replace a considered assessment of performance.
Finish with an action that can be followed
Use the review discussion to agree a practical development step and a follow-up date. During evaluation, check how completed reviews are accessed and how responsibilities are maintained when a manager changes. Confirm any specialized calibration, scoring or integration needs in the demo.
Turn a review cycle into a clear next step.
Performance management is included in Growth and above. Explore goals, review cycles, competencies, one-on-ones and development plans with your team’s review process.
Agree goals and criteria
Use Goals and Competencies to define what success means for the role. Establish expectations before the review period.
Set up the review cycle
Use Review Cycles and review settings to prepare the period and process. Confirm reviewer assignments and visibility with a sample group.
Record the review
Bring specific work examples into Reviews. Check the employee and manager experience, including how the employee acknowledges receiving a review.
Plan development
Use Development Plans and 1:1s to organize the follow-up conversation and actions. Keep ownership clear after the review.
Review the wider picture
Explore Reports and Calibration with authorized reviewers. Check which information each role can access before opening a company-wide cycle.
What to verify in your demo
Ask to see a sample goal, review cycle, employee acknowledgement and development plan. Validate draft-review privacy with employee, manager and HR roles.

Questions about performance reviews
Does Starter include performance reviews?
Performance tools are included from Growth. Starter focuses on core records, attendance, schedules and leave.
Can attendance determine an employee’s rating?
Treat attendance as context where appropriate to the role and company policy. Performance decisions need considered evidence and human review.
Can we use our existing review process?
Bring the criteria, stages and approval requirements to the demo. Confirm which parts fit the supported workflow and what needs a separate process.
