Frequently asked questions
- What is Performance in Deputy HR?
Performance is a module within Deputy HR that gives managers a central, structured place to document, tag, attach evidence to, and share individual employee performance observations in real time — replacing informal note apps, spreadsheets, and lost verbal feedback.
- How does Performance differ from Journals in my plan?
Journals within a Deputy plan is built for basic, quick entries. Performance, available via Deputy HR, elevates this with structured note creation, custom colour-coded tagging, file attachments (up to 5 per note), configurable visibility (private vs. shared with employee), AI-powered summaries, and shift-anchored history.
- Can employees see their performance notes?
By default, all performance notes are private to managers and admins with performance permissions. Managers can optionally check "Share note with employee" before publishing. Once shared, the employee receives a push notification and can view the note and attachments inside their Deputy mobile app. Private notes remain completely hidden from the employee.
- Can a performance note be edited or deleted after publishing?
No. To ensure records remain defensible during employment disputes or compliance audits, notes are timestamped and immutable once published. However, managers can archive a note, which removes it from the active feed and hides it from the employee's view while preserving the underlying audit log for administrative history. We recommend reviewing notes carefully before publishing.
- How is performance different from shift ratings and Shift Pulse+?
Shift Pulse+ captures anonymous shift-level mood and feedback directly from employees to gauge workplace sentiment. Performance notes is a manager-led tool within Deputy HR designed for structured documentation. It allows leaders to record, tag, and share continuous performance observations that build a record over time.
- Does this replace formal enterprise review platforms?
Performance in Deputy HR is purpose-built for deskless, shift-based teams. It focuses on continuous, real-time feedback capture on the floor, rather than complex corporate 360-degree review cycles, OKR cascades, or formal annual appraisals. For frontline teams, it replaces scattered personal notes, apps, spreadsheets, and verbal feedback with a structured record right where work happens.
