Progressively Capturing Behaviour – Performance Reviews

In the business world, the conventional approach to performance reviews involves conducting them once or twice a year. Unfortunately, this periodicity often leads to a rushed scramble among managers to gather information and recall employee behaviours over the specified timeframe. This tendency to focus on the most recent month or two, known as the ‘recency effect’, emerges as a natural reaction. 

Managers strive to appear competent and in control of their team members’ performance, inadvertently causing them to overlook opportunities for a comprehensive assessment of performance over the entire review period, which could span the last 6 or 12 months. Consequently, valuable chances to gain deeper insights into job performance and foster a more holistic understanding of one’s role tend to slip through the cracks. 

Ripple is a tool designed to systematically and objectively capture behavioural patterns and performance metrics progressively throughout the entire review period. By implementing Ripple, organisations empower their team members to continuously learn and adapt within their roles, minimising any ‘surprises’ during formal performance discussions. Ripple paves the way for an unbiased approach to evaluating individuals in fulfilling their job responsibilities, offering the ultimate solution for fair and objective performance assessments.
