Performance
XBuddy Performance is where you set expectations, measure them, and grow your people. It connects goal setting, structured review cycles, continuous feedback, and talent analytics into one loop — so reviews stop being an annual scramble and become a running conversation backed by data.
Managers set goals and run 1-on-1s, HR orchestrates review cycles with 360 feedback and calibration, and leaders read talent signals from KPI dashboards, the balanced scorecard, and the nine-box grid. Because it syncs with OKR for KPIs and LMS for development, the growth actions you agree on actually get tracked.
Performance pairs with OKR (KPI sync) and LMS (training). Set your review cycle and rating scale in Settings before launching a company-wide review so everyone is calibrated on the same scale.
