HR Performance Review Process Redesign Post-Mortem

Evaluate Your Performance Review Process Redesign

When HR teams redesign their performance review process, measuring the success of that change is critical. This performance review process redesign post-mortem template helps HR managers and People Ops teams conduct a thorough retrospective on their new review system, capturing quantitative metrics like completion rates and qualitative feedback on manager satisfaction and development plan effectiveness.

Whether you've moved from annual to continuous feedback, adopted a new performance management platform, or restructured your rating system entirely, this template guides you through a structured assessment of what worked, what didn't, and what to improve for the next cycle.
