Structured Cycles
Where is everybody? Not a question you'll ask here.
The biggest time sink in review cycles isn't writing reviews — it's chasing people who haven't started theirs. Harmny shows you a live view of self-reviews, manager assessments, and calibration status from one dashboard. You'll know who's done, who's dragging, and where to nudge before deadlines slip.
- Evaluation templates customizable per role, level, or department
- Self-reviews, manager assessments, and 360 peer feedback in a single flow
- Automated nudges that actually get reviews finished — 94% completion in one Stackform cycle
Calibration & Publishing
How do you know a "4" means the same thing across managers?
You don't — unless you calibrate. That's the uncomfortable truth behind most performance review systems. Harmny's calibration view shows the actual score distribution so managers can spot grade inflation and align on what "strong performance" really means before anyone sees their results. When scores go live, they're grounded in shared standards, not individual biases.

Score Distribution
Review Intelligence
What if your review wrote itself from a year of notes?
Here's the thing: most managers already know what they want to say. The hard part is pulling it together during review week while juggling everything else. Harmny gives managers a private notebook for each direct report — they jot down wins, coaching moments, observations throughout the year. Come review time, the AI reads those notes alongside competency scores and goal progress, then spits out a narrative summary that reads like the manager actually wrote it. One click, and you've got a PDF-ready review packet for HR or your next 1:1.
- Private manager notes tied to each employee — add context any time
- AI-generated narrative summary synthesizes notes, ratings, and competencies
- One-click downloadable review packet — PDF-ready for HR files or 1:1 conversations
"Alex took full ownership of the API migration — identified the risk early and communicated the timeline without being asked."

"Alex consistently demonstrated strong ownership and initiative across Q3-Q4. Manager notes highlight proactive risk identification, cross-team collaboration on the API migration, and mentoring a new hire..."
"We used to dread performance season. Now it runs itself. Our managers actually look forward to reviews because they have the context they need before the meeting even starts."

Why teams pick Harmny over spreadsheet-based reviews
AI review packets in one click
Year-round manager notes get distilled into a narrative summary with ratings and competency scores. Download the PDF and walk into your 1:1 with context, not guesswork.
Notes that don't get lost
Managers log observations any time — a strong presentation, a missed deadline, a coaching win. Those notes feed directly into the review. No more scrambling to remember what happened in March.
Calibration that keeps managers honest
Score distribution views surface grade inflation before results go live. When two managers disagree on what a "4" means, the data settles it.
360 feedback without the chaos
Self-reviews, peer nominations, and manager assessments run in one flow. No separate survey tools, no chasing responses across Slack and email.
Growth you can actually see
Compare an employee's competency scores across two or three cycles. Are they improving on leadership? Stalling on technical depth? The trend line tells the story.
2 hours back per manager, per week
Automated reminders, real-time completion tracking, and one-click publishing — that's the time you were spending on status meetings and follow-up emails. (Harmny customer data, Q3 2025–Q1 2026)
