Process Your Way

Every organization has a unique appraisal culture. Kiework's workflow builder is flexible enough to match your exact process steps.

  • Multi-Stage Reviews

    Start with Self Appraisal -> Reporting Manager -> HOD -> HR Closure. Add or remove steps as needed.

  • Matrix Manager Input

    Include project managers or cross-functional leads in the review process for a balanced view.

  • Normalization

    A dedicated stage for HR or Leadership to normalize ratings across departments before final release.

Designing Fairness into the Appraisal Process

The greatest enemy of an effective performance review is perceived unfairness. When an employee feels their rating is based on a manager's personal whim rather than their actual contribution, morale collapses. Kiework’s Multi-Level Review Workflows are designed to eliminate this "manager bottleneck" and bring objectivity back to the appraisal.

The Power of 360-Degree Inputs

A single manager only sees one side of an employee's work. Our workflow engine allows you to include inputs from project leads, cross-functional peers, and even direct reports. By gathering these multi-dimensional views, you get a "stereoscopic" view of performance that is far more accurate than a traditional top-down review.

Eliminating Conflict of Interest

Workflows can be configured with "Normalization" or "Moderation" stages. This allows a third-party (like a HOD or HR Lead) to review ratings across a department to ensure consistency. This prevents "Rating Inflation" in one team versus "Rating Austerity" in another, ensuring that the top performers are truly the best in the company, not just the best in their specific team.

Automating the Sequence

Manual appraisals often stall because a form is sitting in someone's inbox. Kiework's automated routing ensures that once a Self-Appraisal is submitted, the Manager is instantly nudged. If the Manager doesn't act, the system can bypass them or escalate based on your specific rules. This automation ensures that the entire organization finishes the review cycle on time, allowing for timely salary hikes and promotions.
