Your reviews

In a review cycle, people write reviews: you review yourself, your manager reviews you, and colleagues may give feedback. This page shows you how to write the reviews you are asked for, and how to read your own results.

Who can write the reviews they are asked for and read their own results: every member, for themselves.

Open the menu and select Work → Reviews. It has three tabs for you:

To write: the reviews you have been asked to write.
My peer reviewers: the colleagues who give you feedback, where you get to suggest them.
My results: your results, once HR shares them.

The Reviews page on a phone, with the reviews you have been asked to write

Write a review

Each review in To write says what kind it is:

Self review: you review yourself.
Peer feedback: you give feedback about a colleague.
Upward feedback: you give feedback about your manager.
Manager review: if you manage people, you review each of them. See Reviews and calibration.

In To write, select Write beside the review. (Select Continue for one you have started.)
Answer each question. Some ask for a rating, some for a written answer. Required questions are marked.
Select Save draft to keep your answers and come back later.
When you have finished, select Submit, then Submit again to confirm.

A review may also ask you to rate competencies: the skills and behaviours your role expects. You rate each one on your organisation’s scale, and can add evidence.

Declining a review

If you are asked for peer or upward feedback and can’t give it, for example because you haven’t worked with the person, select Decline and give a reason. You can’t decline a self review or a manager review.

Is my feedback anonymous?

The top of each review tells you:

Anonymous. Your feedback is anonymous. Only HR can see who wrote it, and it is shown to others only when enough people have responded. Only peer and upward feedback can be anonymous.
Not anonymous. Those who receive it will see it is from you.

Anonymous feedback is shown only when enough people of that kind have responded: never fewer than 3. If fewer did, it is held back and left out of the score, so nobody can work out who wrote it.

Suggest your peer reviewers

In some cycles you suggest which colleagues give you peer feedback, and your manager approves each one.

Open the My peer reviewers tab.
Under Peers to propose, search for colleagues and choose them. The card says how many you can choose and by when.
Select Send for approval.

If your manager doesn’t approve someone, Cadre shows you, with their reason if they gave one. You can propose someone else.

In other cycles your peer reviewers are chosen for you, and who was chosen is not shown to you.

Read your results

Your results appear in My results once HR shares them. Your manager can see them earlier, from calibration onwards, but you see them only after HR shares them.

Open the My results tab.
Select Open beside the cycle.
Read your scores and the feedback shared with you.
Select Acknowledge and add a comment if you want to, then Acknowledge again.

The My results tab on a phone, listing your review results by cycle

Acknowledging says you have read the review. It does not mean you agree with it, and you can only do it once.

Your result shows your Final score. It may be marked Calibrated, which means HR adjusted it when comparing everyone’s results.

The writing assistant

If your organisation has switched it on, Writing help appears under each written answer. It can:

Improve clarity: suggest a clearer, more constructive version of your draft.
Make it specific: ask you questions that help you add examples and results.
Check for bias: point out vague or personal language, and suggest how to describe behaviour instead.
Summarise my notes: turn notes you paste in into a first draft.

Only your draft and the question are sent, with names and contact details removed. Nothing is saved until you save. A suggestion is shown beside your text. For a rewrite or a draft, select Use this to put it in your answer. Otherwise select Dismiss. You still save or submit your answer yourself. There is a daily limit, and Cadre shows how many you have left.
