Step-by-step guide

6 steps

  1. 1

    Define review cycles and criteria

    Decide on review frequency (quarterly, half-yearly, annual) and the rating criteria: goal achievement, communication, initiative, and teamwork.

  2. 2

    Build the app with Appaca

    Tell Appaca "Build a performance review app with self-assessment, manager review, rating scales, and goal tracking." Appaca creates the complete system.

  3. 3

    Set up the self-assessment form

    Employees complete a self-assessment rating themselves on each criterion and providing context. This is the foundation of each review cycle.

  4. 4

    Add manager review

    Managers review the self-assessment and add their own ratings and comments. The final score can be a combination of both.

  5. 5

    Link to goal tracking

    Connect the review to the employee's goals set in the previous cycle. This creates continuity across review periods.

  6. 6

    Set goals for the next period

    At the end of each review, managers and employees agree on goals for the next period and record them in the app.
