We’ve just added a Performance Rating filter to People Analytics!

Now, you can view the most recent performance rating for each employee and apply it across all metrics and insights. This lets you easily analyze high- and low-performing employees in more detail.

With this update, you’ll gain even deeper insights into how performance impacts key factors like:

• Turnover
• Tenure
• Median raise percentage
• Leadership potential

Plus, this brings us one step closer to being a fully integrated platform, with both engagement and performance data now available in People Analytics.
