AU Performance · Performance and talent

Performance reviews and talent, connected to goals and pay.

AU Performance runs the review cycle (self-assessment, feedback and 180° and 360° reviews) along with potential, calibration, succession and development plans, following your organization's logic.

This is what it looks like: the agent proposes where each person sits on the talent map. The final call is your team's.

The problem

Reviews carry everything and connect very little.

01

Time-consuming cycles

Forms, reminders and manual consolidation take the focus away from the conversation.

02

Calibration without a shared view

Each team rates with its own yardstick, and the comparison comes too late.

03

Development plans with no follow-up

They get agreed in the review and disappear until the next cycle.

04

Disconnected results

Reviews aren't read alongside the team's goals, pay and experience.

FAQ

What people usually ask about AU Performance.

Does AU Performance include 180° and 360° reviews?

Yes. AU Performance includes self-assessment, feedback and 180° and 360° reviews, along with potential, calibration, succession and development plans.

Is the talent map a 9-box or a 4-box?

Whichever your organization uses. AU Performance builds the talent map as a 9-box or a 4-box, on the axes your methodology defines: performance and potential, or competencies and skills crossed with goal attainment. The name of each box follows your model too.

Does the AI make decisions about people?

No. In pay and performance, the AI recommends and a person decides. Every decision is logged with the reasoning behind it.

Who is accountable if the system gets it wrong?

Always a person. No agent makes decisions that affect people on its own: its recommendations go through approval and are logged, with the factors behind them in plain view.

Can I start with any module?

Yes. You can start with AU Rewards, AU Goals, AU Employee Experience or AU Performance. When you add another module, AddUp connects the data you already have, with no re-entry.
