15Five Client Performance Review Cycle Setup (Delivery)
- 01
Access the Admin Dashboard and navigate to Performance > Review Cycles
From the left sidebar, select Performance, then Review Cycles. Click 'Create New Cycle' to start configuring the review period for your client.
- 02
Configure the review cycle settings
Set the cycle name, start and end dates, and choose the review type (e.g., annual, quarterly). Enable 'AI-Assisted Reviews' to allow the system to draft summaries based on employee inputs.
- 03
Define rating scales and competencies
In the 'Rating Scales' tab, either select a pre-built scale or create a custom one. Add competencies relevant to the client's roles, such as 'Communication' or 'Project Management'.
- 04
Assign participants and managers
Under 'Participants', import employee lists via CSV or sync from the HRIS (e.g., BambooHR). Ensure each employee is mapped to a manager for the review workflow.
- 05
Set up 360° feedback templates
Navigate to Performance > 360° Feedback and create a template with questions for peers, direct reports, and managers. Assign the template to the review cycle.
- 06
Enable manager check-ins
In the 'Check-ins' section, configure weekly or bi-weekly check-in reminders for managers. These will appear in the manager's dashboard and feed into the review data.
- 07
Test the review cycle with a pilot group
Before launching, select a small pilot group of employees to run a test cycle. Verify that AI-assisted summaries generate correctly and that notifications are sent to the right users.
- 08
Launch the cycle and monitor via Insights Dashboard
Once testing passes, click 'Launch Cycle'. Monitor progress and engagement through the Insights Dashboard, which shows completion rates and AI-generated trend alerts.
