What it means

Performance management is the system of goals, feedback, reviews, calibration, and development conversations. Software can support recurring cycles or continuous feedback.

Buyer checks

  • Confirm goal, review, feedback, and calibration workflows.
  • Check manager and employee usability for recurring cycles.
  • Review reporting for completion, rating distribution, and follow-up actions.

Performance tools should make review work clearer without reducing people to a single score.
