We’re excited to announce Kin’s latest new tool, Employee Reviews. It’ll drastically cut down the time it takes to manage company-wide reviews, and with its flexible, two-way feedback cycle, it facilitates more productive employee reviews, rather than dominating them with overbearing software.
Here’s the thing about employee reviews: most companies do them wrong. The reason? They’re arduous to schedule, and usually end up being jammed into the year’s end, along with salary reviews and holiday parties.
This latest addition to Kin will help our customers get on track by minimizing busy work and ensuring employees are getting the most out of their employer and, likewise, that employers are learning what it takes to build successful workplaces.
Easier scheduling and tracking
One of the biggest barriers to healthy, regular employee reviews is the administrative work that goes into planning and scheduling them.
With Kin’s new features, it’s easy to set up a review for a single employee, or to create a cycle of reviews for the entire company.
Once reviews are in the hands of managers and employees, HR and Operations folk can track their progress to ensure reviews are completed inside of a given timeframe.
Align your team with Employee Objectives
Creating and working toward employee objectives is the most tangible way for employees to stay aligned with where their employer is headed as a company. Kin’s Employee Objectives feature, which was released this past August, makes it easy to manage what’s important, keep progress notes, and create a living archive of everything employees are contributing to the company and their careers.
Two-way feedback on employee, manager, and company
Good feedback is well-rounded feedback, so Kin’s Employee Review tool collects thoughts on more than just employee performance. With manager and company feedback, employers will stay in touch with what they themselves can do to improve the workplace experience.
Get better, together
The fact that we kept Kin’s employee review tools simple means you’ll spend less time noodling around in the browser, and more time creating, sharing, and considering one of the most critical assets your company needs to succeed: good feedback.
