Released: 14th May 2026
Product: Sense Automate
Who it affects: Administrators and HR teams
Overview
A new configurable Performance workflow is now available in Workflow Hub.
This workflow replaces the previous performance review workflow variations with one flexible option that can be tailored to suit your organisation’s review process.
By default, the workflow uses a simple two-step review process. It can also be configured with up to six sequential steps involving Employees, Managers and Admins.
Mid-year review workflow options will follow in a future release.
What’s new
One configurable Performance workflow
The new Performance workflow gives organisations one flexible workflow instead of multiple separate performance review variations.
It can be installed from Workflow Hub and configured to match your review process, including review steps, participants, screen variants, questions, emails, task titles and due dates.
What this means for you:
It is easier to manage performance review setup from one workflow, rather than choosing between multiple fixed variations.
Flexible review steps and participants
The workflow is defaulted to a 2-step Employee → Manager review process, but administrators can configure up to 6 steps.
Each step is completed in sequence, so the next stage only begins once the previous stage has been completed.
What this means for you:
You can support a simple review process or a more detailed multi-stage process involving Employees, Managers and Admins.
Customisable questions and communications
Administrators can customise the review questions, screen variants, email subjects, email messages, task titles and due dates used by the workflow.
The configuration screen contains help text to explain each setting and how it affects the review process.
What this means for you:
Review content and communications can be adapted to match your organisation’s process, language and timescales.
