A performance review cycle can include any combination of four review types. This article defines each type and links to instructions for completing them.
> Note: Your organization may have renamed this feature. If you don't see "Performance Reviews" in your navigation, check with your admin for the name used in your account.
Key Rules
- A cycle can include one, several, or all four review types — your admin configures which types are active.
- Not all review types appear in every cycle. You only see and complete the types your admin has enabled.
- Each review type has a separate submission workflow. See Related Articles below for step-by-step instructions.
- In a cycle using Enable 15Five AI, self, manager, and additional-manager reviews can receive AI-Assisted Reviews functionality. Peer and upward reviews use the same new review experience but do not include AI drafting, the Context library, Moments, or the review assistant. This is different from the legacy experience, which is a separate cycle-level choice.
Review Types
| Review Type | Who Writes It | Who It Is About |
|---|---|---|
| Self | The participant | Themselves |
| Manager | The participant's direct manager (and any additional managers assigned by an admin) | The participant |
| Peer | A coworker nominated to give feedback | The participant |
| Upward | A direct report | Their manager |
