The performance problem

Generic templates don't fit your business.

Most performance tools force one rigid template on every role, skip the conversation prep work, and leave goals to drift the moment the review closes. The result is reviews that feel like a tick-box exercise - for everyone.

workit replaces the rigid template with custom questionnaires, flexible workflows and built-in goal tracking - so reviews actually move the dial, cycle after cycle.

Everything inside the module

Custom by design, structured by default.

Build the review your business actually needs - and let workit handle the assignments, comparisons, reminders and history.

Custom questionnaires

Build review questionnaires from scratch with workit's custom form builder - short answers, ratings, multiple choice, scales - and capture the exact data your business wants.

Grouped reviews by role or category

Bundle multiple questionnaires into a single review and assign different sets by role, department or category - so every group gets a review designed for them.

Flexible review workflows

Configure the flow that fits: employee-only, employee then manager, or simultaneous employee and manager submissions that unlock a shared comparison view at the end.

Side-by-side comparison view

For shared reviews, employee and manager responses are presented side by side once both are complete - making the conversation focused, balanced and easy to action.

Fixed-period or recurring cycles

Issue a one-off review for a specific period, or set up a recurring schedule - monthly, quarterly, annually - and let workit generate and assign each cycle automatically.

Goal setting & tracking

Set goals during a review and track them across the performance period - so the next conversation starts with real progress, not a blank page.

Training integration

Connect with the training module to assess completed learning, identify development needs and align review outcomes with training that actually happens.

One employee record

Every review, response, goal and outcome lives on the employee profile alongside contracts, policies and compliance - the full performance history in one place.

Workflows that fit

Employee-only. Manager-led. Or side-by-side.

Run a self-reflection for the employee, a sequential employee-then-manager review, or a true side-by-side review where both submit independently and meet in a shared comparison view. Pick the right shape for the right conversation.

  • Custom questionnaires grouped per role
  • Employee, manager or side-by-side workflows
  • Fixed-period or auto-recurring cycles
  • Goal setting tracked through the period
  • Connected to the training module

Side-by-side employee & manager comparison

Recurring, on autopilot

Set the schedule once. workit generates each cycle, assigns the right people and reminds them - so reviews stop being a calendar scramble.

Goals that don't drift

Goals captured in a review are tracked through the performance period and brought into the next conversation - not lost in a document.

One HRIS, one history

Reviews, goals, training and outcomes sit on the same employee profile as contracts, policies and compliance - no parallel performance tool to maintain.
