Reviews are held by the employer. The shift lead can hold them if the partner enables this for the location. Employees see their reviews under “My development”.

Schedule a review

  1. Open “Menu” → “Team” → “Staff” and then “Employee development” under “Tools”. Upcoming reviews are listed under “Due reviews”; you can also choose a person directly.

  2. Tap “Schedule review”.

  3. Choose a “Template” if you like. Choose the “Type” (probation review, annual review, return-to-work review, feedback review or 1:1) and enter the “Date”, “Time” and, if needed, the place.

  4. Tap “Schedule review”. The person is notified.

Hold and complete a review

  • Beforehand, the person can write their “Self-assessment” and tap “Submit”.
  • You record the review in the “Minutes” and tap “Save minutes”. With “Complete review” you finish the minutes. After that they can no longer be changed; additions are made with “Write addendum”.
  • The person reads the minutes and taps “Mark as read”, optionally with a comment.
  • From the review you create goals with “Add goal”.

Goals and feedback

You create a goal with “Add goal”: “Goal”, description, deadline and optionally a matching Academy course. Both sides enter the “Progress” and mark it with “Mark as done”. With “Give feedback” you can write “Praise” or a “Pointer” at any time.

Templates and automation

You maintain review templates in the browser under “Employee development” → “Review templates”, with sections and questions (free text, scale 1–5, yes/no). Head office provides templates for everyone and sets under “Automation” whether annual and probation reviews are suggested automatically. Head office only sees figures about the reviews themselves.

To let the shift lead hold reviews, enable it in the “Shift lead reviews” box with “Enable”. The shift lead then holds annual, feedback and 1:1 reviews via “My development” → “Hold reviews”.
