Performance Review System

The Context / Challenge

Setting the scene

Every quarter, the performance review cycle required hundreds of spreadsheets managed across 150+ people leaders. Data flowed from Culture Amp to BambooHR through manual exports and re-uploads. Each leader received their own spreadsheet, filled it in, and sent it back. The People team then consolidated everything, checked for inconsistencies, and pushed the data back into HR systems. The process was time-consuming, error-prone, and created a poor experience for leaders who found the spreadsheets difficult to use.

Our Approach

How we thought about it

The team used Claude Cowork to build a fully custom performance system that lives under Rokt Central. Instead of distributing spreadsheets, leaders now access their performance reviews through the centralized platform. The system pulls data automatically, presents it in a clean interface, and writes back to the source systems when reviews are complete. It was designed to meet Rokt's specific needs rather than conforming to the limitations of off-the-shelf performance tools.

How to replicate this

"Our quarterly performance review process currently runs on hundreds of spreadsheets distributed to 150+ leaders. Build a performance management system that: - Pulls employee data and prior review history automatically - Gives each leader a clean interface to review their direct reports - Supports our specific rating framework and calibration process - Writes completed reviews back to our HR systems - Lives under Rokt Central so leaders don't need another login It needs to handle our full review cycle: self-evaluations, manager reviews, calibration, and final communication."
Results

What we achieved

The quarterly performance cycle moved from hundreds of spreadsheets to a single platform. Leaders access their reviews through Rokt Central with no spreadsheets to download, fill in, or email back. Data flows automatically between systems, eliminating manual exports and re-uploads. The system is fully custom to Rokt's review framework, meaning it handles edge cases and workflows that off-the-shelf tools could not. The time spent by the People team on cycle administration dropped significantly, and the experience for leaders improved.
