Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about Performance Review

Can I customize the performance review process to fit my company's unique needs?

Yes, as you build a review cycle, you can customize your review questions, your audience, scheduling, and more.

What are 360-degree reviews, and how does Workleap facilitate them?

A 360-degree review is a performance evaluation method in which employees receive feedback from multiple sources to give a well-rounded view of performance. In Workleap, you can set review cycles so that employees receive feedback from peers and a manager, and provide a self-assessment.

How does the Workleap review program differ from traditional methods?

Traditional reviews rely on a manager's memory once or twice a year. Workleap continuously gathers performance signals such as feedback, recognition, and goal progress from the tools your team already uses, then drafts a review grounded in that context. Managers still make every call, but they start from a complete picture instead of a blank page.

Does AI write my team's reviews for me?

No. Workleap drafts each review using your team's signals, feedback, and goals, but managers are the ones completing and submitting the review. Every draft follows your organization's standards and voice, so it's built to save time preparing, not to replace a manager's judgment.

Can we track employee progress using Workleap’s performance review system?

Yes. Workleap allows users with certain permissions the ability to monitor a list of participant progress related to a specific Review Cycle. You can also track the percentage of reviews that have been submitted across a cycle.

What types of companies typically use Workleap for performance management?

Companies of all sizes use Workleap, from growing SMBs building their first structured review process to larger organizations that need every manager running reviews to the same standard. It's the best fit for smaller HR teams who want consistency across managers, without adding admin work each cycle.

How does Workleap integrate with HRIS and other tools like Slack?

Workleap connects to your HRIS via API to keep employee data in sync, and to tools like Slack, Atlassian, Notion, Outlook, and Jira, so it can pull in the signals that inform each review. We stay where managers already work to surface insights that would otherwise remain hidden, using our ever-growing MCP library.

What’s a good alternative to traditional performance review systems?

A strong alternative to once-a-year reviews is a system built around ongoing context, goal clarity, and regular touchpoints. Workleap helps teams shift to this continuous approach with flexible review cycles, signals gathered year-round, and drafts that make every conversation more meaningful.

How does Workleap reduce bias in performance reviews?

Workleap anchors every review in signals gathered throughout the year, feedback, recognition, and goal progress, instead of a manager's memory from the last few weeks. That cuts down on the recency and relationship bias that comes from judging a full year by what's most recent or most visible.

Can I control what data Workleap uses to write reviews?

Yes. Workleap only pulls from the sources and signals your organization allows, and every review follows the structure, standards, and instructions HR sets. It never reaches beyond what you've configured it to see.

Is Performance Reviews a standalone product, or part of something bigger?

Performance Reviews isn't sold on its own. It's one of the capabilities inside Workleap, alongside Goals, Meetings & 1:1s, Team Health, and more, all working from the same shared context on your team. Book a demo to see how it fits your plan.
