Everything you need to run effective reviews

No more Word documents and email chains. Structured review cycles that managers actually complete.

Review cycles

Create a named review cycle with start and end dates. Leavely creates reviews for all active employees, and the cycle view tracks completion in one place.

Auto-assign reviewers

Leavely assigns one eligible reviewer to each active employee from your reporting structure, with an administrator fallback where a manager is unavailable.

1 to 5 star ratings

Record one overall 1 to 5 rating, then capture strengths, areas for improvement, and notes in dedicated written fields.

Goal tracking

Set separate employee objectives with a due date, progress percentage, status, and updates. Managers can consult them during a review, but goals are not linked to cycles.

Completion progress

See how many assigned reviews are complete and which reviews remain pending. Reminder messages are handled outside Leavely today.

Performance history

Completed reviews remain available to authorised managers and administrators, giving them a consistent record of ratings and written feedback over time.

Why performance reviews work better inside your HR platform

People records in one workspace

Authorised managers can use the same Leavely workspace for review cycles, goals, and operational people records. Review fields do not automatically score attendance or pull leave data into an assessment.

Goals stay visible between reviews

Goals have their own owner, due date, status, progress, and update history. They sit alongside performance reviews, but are not currently attached to a review cycle.

One familiar workspace

Teams already using Leavely for leave and rotas can keep performance administration under the same login and permissions model. Managers still need a clear internal review process and conversation.

No separate performance subscription

Leavely includes performance reviews in its published £8 per active user price alongside the connected people-operations workspace. Confirm the current feature list and billing terms before subscribing.

Run your next review cycle with Leavely

Create a cycle for active employees, assign one reviewer to each review, and track completion. Included in Standard at £8 per active user per month.

Frequently asked questions

How do review cycles work in Leavely?
An administrator creates a cycle with a name and date range. Leavely creates a review for every active employee and assigns their eligible line manager, using an administrator as a fallback where needed. Reviewers submit one overall 1 to 5 rating plus strengths, improvements, and notes. The cycle view shows completion progress.
Can I track goals alongside performance reviews?
Yes. Leavely includes separate goal tracking with owners, due dates, progress updates, and status. Goals are not currently linked to a particular review cycle, so managers should refer to the relevant goals when completing a review.
What does the rating system look like?
Each review has one required overall rating from 1 to 5, with separate written fields for strengths, areas for improvement, and private review notes. Leavely does not currently provide custom scored criteria or calculate a composite score.
Is performance review software included in the £8/user/month price?
Yes. Performance reviews and goal tracking are included in the standard Leavely plan at £8 per user per month. There are no add-on fees. You also get leave management, rota planning, time tracking, expenses, and onboarding in the same price.
Can employees see their own review results?
Not in employee self-service today. Individual review outcomes are available to authorised managers and administrators. If you want the employee to receive the outcome, share it through your own review conversation and agreed documentation.
