Why it matters
Why businesses pick CubeHR for performance management
Move beyond annual reviews
Continuous feedback, regular 1-to-1s, and quarterly objective reviews keep performance management going through the year, rather than as a once-a-year exercise.
Fair, structured assessments
360° feedback from multiple perspectives reduces bias. Calibration tools help ensure consistency across managers and departments.
Link performance to development
Objectives connect to training courses and development plans. Employees see a clear path from where they are to where they want to be.
In practice
What this actually looks like
Replacing an annual paper review
The problem
A 200-person company ran annual reviews using Word document templates emailed between managers and HR. Completion rates were below 50% and the process took 3 months.
The outcome
Review cycles run to a schedule with reminders and a live completion view, so HR can see where a cycle has stalled while there is still time to act.
Implementing OKRs for the first time
The problem
A growing tech company wanted to implement quarterly OKRs but had no framework. Objectives were set informally and rarely tracked.
The outcome
CubeHR's objectives module provided structure: company goals cascaded to team and individual levels. Quarterly check-ins replaced guesswork, and teams aligned around measurable outcomes.
Questions
Frequently asked
Can we run different review cycles for different teams?
Yes. You can configure review cycles by department, team, or individual. Engineering might run quarterly reviews while sales runs monthly check-ins.
How does 360° feedback work?
When a review cycle starts, the employee completes a self-assessment. You can then nominate peers, direct reports, and external stakeholders to provide feedback. All responses are aggregated and can be anonymised.
Can employees see their own review history?
Yes, employees have full access to their own reviews, objectives, development plans, and 1-to-1 notes. Transparency is a core principle: there are no hidden assessments.
Does it support probation reviews?
Yes. CubeHR tracks probation end dates and can automatically trigger a probation review cycle. Managers get reminders, and the outcome (pass, extend, fail) is recorded with full audit trail.
