Talent reviews: Insights

Discover how Insights help you explore company-wide trends—from performance to growth, flight risk, and more.

Updated over a month ago

The Insights category allows you to visualize the whole company's results. The indicators are the same as the ones used for individual campaigns but averages and totals are calculated based on the results of every employee's last campaign.

For example, if an employee was evaluated six months ago, and another two months ago, both their results will be mixed to create an average.

In this article, you’ll explore the overview, matrix, and participants, including all their key components and how to make the most of each component.


1. Overview

You can filter results by the following criteria's:

  • Group

  • Managers

Future growth is the graphical representation of Section 4, Short-term evolution for the whole company. To see the result for each category, hover your mouse on the different parts of the graph to see on the right which percentage of employees have been classified in one of the four Development categories by Reviewers, and on the left the exact number of employees.

Flight risk

Flight risk is the average of employees in the company that reviewers think are about to leave the company (Section 6).

3. Participants

When you open the reviewee’s board, you’ll see each employee along with the results from their latest Talent Review. Think of it as your go-to place to understand how your team is performing and where they might need support.

To make it easier to focus on the right people, you can filter Reviewees by:

  • Tags

  • Group

  • Managers

  • Custom fields

From here, you can take a variety of actions:
