Performance Calibration

Fair Ratings, Aligned Across Every Team

Bring managers together to review and align performance ratings before they are finalised, so the same standard applies to everyone.

Calibration That Holds Up to Scrutiny

Calibration sessions build on your performance reviews and goals, give every participant the right access and document every rating change.

Consistent Ratings Across Teams

Managers review ratings side by side and adjust them together, so a rating means the same thing in every team.

Calibrators and Observers

Invite calibrators who can change ratings and observers with read-only access. Direct managers can be added automatically.

Full Rating History

Every change records who made it, when, the previous and new rating and an optional note.

Locked Final Results

Finish a session to lock all ratings. Final results stay available together with their complete audit history.

Calibration Topics

Start from Your Reviews and Goals

Generate calibration topics directly from a performance review or an objective period. flair adds the right employees and pulls initial ratings from the managers' review answers.

  • One topic per review section, objective period or objective category
  • Add manual topics and adjust employee assignments in a matrix

  • Only invited participants can see a session
  • Warnings when another calibrator changed the same rating

Frequently Asked Questions About Performance Calibration

In a calibration, managers review the ratings of a group of employees together and align them before they are final. This reduces differences between lenient and strict raters and makes ratings comparable across teams.

Topics can come from performance review sections, from an objective period or from individual objective categories. You can also add manual topics. For review sections, flair uses the manager's rating as the starting point.

Only invited participants see a calibration session. Calibrators can change ratings while the session is in progress, observers have read-only access.

Once calibration starts, topics, employees and participants are fixed and flair takes a snapshot of the initial ratings. When you finish the session, all ratings are locked.

Calibration builds on the performance reviews and goals you already run in flair. Final ratings are stored in the calibration session with their full history, separately from the original review answers.
