Ukrainian IT Firm Automates Annual Reviews as It Scales
A 300-person IT services firm in Ukraine replaced manual annual reviews with automated, customized review cycles in Peoplelogic Impact.
A large IT services and consulting firm in Ukraine with a global client base was growing fast, and its performance management couldn't keep up. It needed reviews that were consistent, fit its teams, and didn't slow down as headcount rose.
In the winter of 2023-2024, we held a performance review cycle for 300+ company specialists. The review process was easy and clear. And when questions arose, IMPACT’s technical support team solved all our requests with lightning speed.
The firm's review process was manual, and nothing rolled over from one year to the next, so each cycle added more admin work for HR. The company needed a process that would scale, which led them to Peoplelogic Impact.
What the firm needed
- Automated annual reviews to cut HR's manual workload
- Training for HR on tailoring reviews to the firm's workflows and teams
- A multi-level review cycle that made it easier to involve managers and employees
- The right software for a complex review process
Building the review cycles
Peoplelogic helped the firm build annual review cycles around its own requirements, so reviews reflected the company's mission and goals.
Peoplelogic also set the annual reviews to roll over automatically each year. HR no longer rebuilds the cycle from scratch, which frees time for other work.
Multi-level reviews
The firm now runs a multi-level review: employees rate their own performance on tasks, and both their manager and their manager's manager rate it too. Each employee gets a fuller picture of their contributions and where to develop.
Using review data
Review data gave the firm a clear view of employee performance and development needs. Leaders used it to find areas to improve and to plan targeted development programs.
Results
- Less admin work for HR, with annual reviews automated and far fewer manual evaluation tasks
- Faster review completion for managers and employees, thanks to customized, automated cycles
- Detailed data that lets HR make informed people decisions
"We now have a robust system that aligns our OKR completion with performance reviews, making the entire process seamless and efficient."
