# Performance Review Framework

How reviews work here: the cycle, the criteria, the rating scale, calibration, what managers do, and what employees do.

A performance review framework deck explains a review process to the people in it: the annual cycle, what is assessed and against which criteria, the rating scale with definitions, how calibration works, timelines, and responsibilities for managers and employees. This template is a complete framework for a fictional company with a criteria table.
