Check-Ins – How To Prepare a Check-In

Check-ins allow employees, peers and managers to complete performance reviews. Check ins within Flare can be customised to suit your various employees. Check-ins are set up in smaller individual parts, which you then assemble at the end. You will need to set up the following parts to create a Check-in:

  • Area of Interest: This acts like a category. 
  • Topic: This is a subset of the above category to which you can add -
    • Focus Points: These act like individual questions/statements. 
      • Scale: This allows to set a scale (e.g. 1-10 or Meets expectations - Does not meet expectations)
      • Free text field: This allows for an employee or manager to enter free text

The basic flow of setting up a Check-in is as below: 

  1. Establish a rating Scale
  2. Set up Topics
  3. Set up Area of Interest
  4. Prepare the Check-in
  5. Preview the Check-in
  6. Proceed with the Check-in

Combine the Areas of interest you wish to have combined in a review cycle. This feature can be used to create the annual review and also used to create localised departmental reviews through filters for employees and managers. To do so:

  3. Enter the Title of your Review (try to keep it structured so that over the time you’ll easily be able to identify the reason and audience for the review). Enter a Description of your Review (to help understand who it was intended for and why).

  13. Finally, confirm Reviewers by selecting the relevant Job Title that will be a Reviewee, the relevant Department, Division and Location. Once complete click Save.

Note

Once all relevant reviewee filters are set, click [Show members] to see who would be actually doing the review. This will allow you to make changes/adjustments before proceeding with launching the review.

Where possible, setting a Job Title instead of a specific name is best. This saves you having to continuously adjust reviewee settings when people move around jobs in your organisation.
