Performance and engagement

Reviews, goals, and recognition that do not wait for December

Performance management and multi-directional feedback, so the annual review holds no surprises for anyone.

The review should be a summary, not a reveal

Three things keep an annual review from going badly: communicating through the year rather than once, setting metrics people can see and understand, and agreeing short-term and long-term goals up front.

A personal dashboard keeps progress toward those goals visible to the employee, which is what turns a review into a conversation about something both of you already knew.

Four tools that do the work

Performance reviews

Flexible cycles you set to fit the practice, pre-loaded templates for managers, and individual, team, and practice goals connected to the review.

360 feedback

Input from every direction, inside the practice and outside it, up and down the reporting structure. Asking a referring office or a vendor for feedback is fair game.

Goal setting and monitoring

Goals for an individual, a group, or the whole practice, with workstreams attached and progress tracked as it moves.

Nine box

A single view of who is growing, who is showing potential, and who needs support — useful when you are deciding who to promote into a lead role.

And the day-to-day underneath it

  1. 01

    A feed to stay aligned across roles and locations, particularly if you run more than one site.

  2. 02

    A personalized dashboard that keeps what matters in front of each person.

  3. 03

    Interactive org charts, so everyone can see the structure and who they report to.

  4. 04

    Pulse surveys, when you need to know what a specific group actually thinks about something.

  5. 05

    Crowdsourced ideas, with upvotes, so a good suggestion from the front desk can travel.

  6. 06

    Recognition and rewards, including a rewards store where points convert to things people want.
