At Bonusly, we believe regular performance conversations are crucial for employee growth. That’s why we created Performance Recaps—a tool that helps managers and employees easily review contributions, track progress, and drive meaningful discussions. Use them to highlight your achievements and identify areas for growth.
How does it work? Performance Recaps provide a summary of key contributions, skills, and goal progress over the past 3 months. They’re auto-generated from ongoing recognition, 1:1 feedback, and goal tracking, offering a comprehensive snapshot of your performance to help you prepare for reviews and have productive growth conversations.
Create a Custom Recap
Need to adjust your recap for a different timeframe or specific goals? You can create a custom recap for any period that fits your performance or promotion review needs.
Just hit the "Create custom recap" button, select your desired time range, choose whether to share it with your manager proactively, and click "Create recap!"
Your Custom Recap may take a few minutes to generate.
Once ready, you’ll receive an email notification and an in-app link. You can then view it instantly in a printer-friendly format for easy sharing.
Reflect and realign
Growth requires reflection. This section lets you add Highlights (what you're proud of) and Future Focuses (areas for growth).
You can create your own Highlight or Future Focus:
Or you can select a skill or contribution from your Progress and performance section as your highlight or future focus.
Once you are satisfied with your Highlight and Future Focus, save and share!
NOTE: Your manager won’t see your reflections until you share them, and vice versa. When both parties are ready, the recap reflections are shared for a balanced, productive conversation.
