Platform/Performance Reviews
Performance reviews that work out of the box
WorkSpark gives you a complete, structured review process: self-assessments, peer feedback, upward reviews, and manager evaluations, with built-in best practices that work immediately. Launch your first review cycle in under 10 minutes.
Set up a cycle in minutes
Pick a review period, choose which review types to include, and set due dates for each stage: individual reviews, manager reviews, calibration, sharing, and sign-off.
There are no templates to build and no consultants to hire.
What were your significant accomplishments?
Built on a foundation of accomplishments
Accomplishments are captured continuously and surfaced directly in the review editor, so self-assessments and manager reviews are written against the same record of work.
Reviewees showcase the work they want recognized. Managers see the whole cycle, not just recent weeks.
Recognize strengths and areas of growth
Every review names specific strengths to recognize and clear growth areas to focus on. Each observation is tagged against 11 core competencies like accountability, collaboration, and problem solving.
Recognition credits what people do well. Growth areas give them something concrete to work on next.
Which competencies contribute most to their success?
AI review suggestions
AI-assisted review feedback
An AI assistant reads each review as it is written and suggests where to add evidence, sharpen a claim, or adjust a rating that doesn't match the feedback.
For manager reviews, it also checks alignment with the self-assessment and peer feedback, so nothing important gets missed.
Actionable insights
Every cycle rolls up into rating distributions, reviewee summaries, and a nine-box grid mapping delivery against behavior. Filter by manager, team, or rating band to spot patterns.

Frequently asked questions
What types of reviews does WorkSpark support?
Four types: self-assessments, peer reviews (from same-manager peers), upward reviews (from direct reports), and manager evaluations. Peer and upward reviews are optional and configurable per cycle.
How long does it take to set up a review cycle?
Under 10 minutes. Choose your review period, select which review types to include, set due dates, add reviewees, and launch. No templates to build, no consultants needed.
How often should we run review cycles?
That depends on your team. Many companies run semi-annual or quarterly cycles. You choose the review period and schedule that works for you.
How does the nine-box grid work?
Manager review ratings are mapped to a nine-box talent grid combining delivery/impact (x-axis) with behavior (y-axis). Each position has a descriptive label like Star Performer, Key Contributor, or High Potential to guide talent management conversations.
Can we import reviews from our previous system?
Yes. WorkSpark supports CSV import of historical review data with multi-cycle support and automatic account matching. Imported reviews are read-only and provide context alongside native reviews.
