How Managers Can Use the Performance Module in BrioHR: Step-by-Step Guide
Learn how to navigate BrioHR’s Performance module — from setting and confirming objectives to completing appraisals and 360 feedback. Follow this simple step-by-step guide for managers.
1. Accessing the Performance Dashboard
To begin reviewing your team’s performance activities, navigate to Team > Performance within the BrioHR platform. This section provides access to the Performance Dashboard, where you can oversee and manage all performance-related tasks for your team members.

2. Reviewing and Managing Objectives
Your first responsibility is to review the objectives submitted by your employees. Employees may also create and propose additional objectives when necessary.
When an employee creates a new objective, they must determine whether it should be included in the appraisal form or treated as a personal (non-rated) goal. If the objective is not part of the appraisal, it should be marked as “This is a non-rated objective.”
Once employees have prepared their objectives, you will review and confirm them. Depending on your organization’s settings, employees may still have permission to edit their objectives even after your confirmation.
Employees are expected to update their progress regularly, and as a manager, you should encourage this habit to ensure accurate tracking and meaningful discussions during the appraisal process.

3. Reviewing the Appraisal Form
Once the appraisal form has been submitted by the employee, as a manager, it will appear in your queue for manager (appraiser) review.You will then need to evaluate their responses and provide your feedback.
The appraisal form typically includes:
-
Questionnaire / Manager Appraisal
-
Objectives Rating
-
Competencies Rating
-
Summary

4. Conducting 1-on-1 Feedback Sessions
Some appraisal processes include 1-on-1 Feedback sessions. These may be scheduled daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly depending on your workflow.
As a manager, this is your opportunity to:
-
Discuss performance progress
-
Address challenges
-
Provide guidance and support
Both you and your employees can use the comment section to record notes from each discussion. These notes serve as a helpful reference for future conversations and ongoing performance monitoring.

5. Overseeing 360 Feedback Participation
If your organization utilizes the 360 Feedback, employees may need to be assigned to provide feedback on colleagues, their superior, or their direct reports.
As a manager, you will need to assign the respective feedback givers for the employees and should ensure that employees complete their assigned feedback tasks thoughtfully and on time. Constructive feedback and ratings provided in this section contribute to a well-rounded evaluation for everyone involved.

Conclusion
BrioHR’s Performance module equips managers with the tools needed to guide, support, and evaluate their teams effectively. From reviewing objectives to assessing appraisals and facilitating feedback discussions, managers play a crucial role in shaping a transparent and growth-oriented performance culture.
By encouraging regular updates, meaningful self-appraisal, and active participation in feedback processes, managers can help employees gain valuable insights while maintaining alignment with organizational goals.
