Definition
A performance review is a structured evaluation of an employee's work over a period, assessing results, strengths, and areas to improve, usually between an employee and their manager.
A performance review takes stock of how someone has done. It looks back at goals and results, gathers feedback, and looks forward to development and expectations - forming the basis for coaching, raises, and promotions.
Reviews come in many forms: annual, quarterly, or continuous; manager-only or 360-degree with peer input. The trend is toward more frequent, forward-looking conversations rather than a single yearly verdict.
Atlas supports performance reviews on the same employee record as goals and attendance, so evaluations draw on real work rather than memory.
