If you’re a new ReviewBuilder user, read on for how you can get started.

Step 1. Create Folders

Create one folder for each person on the team. It’ll keep you organized. To do so:

Start by clicking on the Folders button.
Then click Create Folder.
Add a folder name.

Step 2. Determine Your Criteria

Determine how you will evaluate each person. For example, let’s say my company and I evaluate employees based on these five competencies:

Customer Obsession
Ownership
Invent and Simplify
Are Right, A Lot
Learn and Be Curious

Translating company language into viaMaven’s categories, I see that:

Customer Obsession is filed under Customer Focus .
Ownership is filed under Accountability.
Invent and Simplify is filed under Innovation.
Are Right, A Lot is filed under Expertise.
Learn and Be Curious is filed under Personal Development.

To summarize this example, I should be looking for phrases under:

Customer Focus
Accountability
Innovation
Expertise
Personal Development

For more inspiration on translating your company’s competencies to our categories, refer to ManageBetter’s competency definitions.

One more tip: you can always search for phrases too

Step 3. Add feedback phrases

Add appropriate phrases to a folder by clicking on the … located in the upper right.

Step 4. Generate a review

Select a folder and then press the Build a Review button. After generating the review, you can easily copy and paste it into your performance review system like Workday.
