What it replaces.

  1. Review forms chased by email for weeks.
  2. Ratings that mean something different in every team.
  3. Pay rises agreed in a spreadsheet and keyed into payroll by hand.

Questions about performance

How does Global Kinect run performance and pay reviews?

Review cycles cover self-assessment, manager, peer and upward reviews, with outstanding reviews chased in one step and ratings calibrated before they are released. Pay review cycles set a budget, show each proposal against its band, and send what is approved into payroll: rises as new salaries from their effective date, and bonuses as payments in the run.

Can we use our own competencies?
Yes. You keep your own competencies and choose the review types for each cycle.
Do employees see the nine-box grid?
No. The talent grid is for HR and managers, and employees never see it.
Is learning included?
Yes. Courses, certifications and a training matrix sit alongside, with gaps and renewals shown.

Start with payroll. Add the rest when you need it.
