About This Automation

Performance review cycles require HR to manually chase feedback from managers, consolidate responses from multiple sources, and draft individualized review documents. This manual coordination stretches over 8 to 12 weeks and consumes significant HR time on repetitive tasks.

Automation collects feedback through a centralized form, sends reminders automatically, calculates scores, and generates personalized review documents. The cycle compresses to 3 to 4 weeks with minimal manual intervention.

Key features
Distribute review forms to all raters and track submission status in real time
Send automated reminders to managers who have not submitted feedback
Consolidate feedback from all sources into a single structured record
Calculate average scores and ratings automatically
Generate personalized review summaries with feedback and recommendations
Schedule review meetings and send confirmations to participants

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Review Cycle Initiatedtrigger

HR sets cycle parameters (dates, employees, raters). The automation detects the cycle start and begins orchestration.

2. Send Review Forms to Raters

Automation sends personalized links to all managers and raters with cycle deadlines and instructions.

3. Monitor and Chase Responses

Automation tracks form submissions and sends automated reminders to non-responders at 50% and 80% of the deadline window.

4. Consolidate Feedback in Sheets

Automation aggregates all form responses into a master workbook, organized by employee and rater, with scores calculated automatically.

5. Generate Review Summaries

Automation populates review document templates with consolidated feedback, calculated ratings, and key themes, creating a draft for HR review.

6. Notify HR for Final Approval

Automation sends a message to the HR Manager with a summary of all reviews ready for final review and any flagged inconsistencies.

7. Deliver Reviews and Schedule Meetings

After HR approval, automation sends review documents to employees and creates calendar invites for review meetings.
