Thank you for all of your feedback regarding the cycle set up experience.  

One thing we’ve heard is that managing participants can be complex and we can help make it easier. Based on your feedback, we’ve introduced several enhancements to streamline participant selection and management in performance cycles, including:

Smarter eligibility logic: By default, only active employees are eligible, keeping the list clean and focused. Need to include employees on leave? No problem - you can add them easily. Inactive and onboarding employees are excluded automatically.

Streamlined filtering: Start fresh with an empty participant list. Apply filters to include the right employees, or quickly add a handful of specific participants without needing to apply filters - perfect for those one-off cases.

Easier Add/Remove actions: Quickly adjust participants directly from the list.

Clear eligibility criteria: See participant eligibility criteria in read-only mode during live and scheduled cycles, ensuring transparency and clarity.

Smoother experience overall: Subtle copy updates and design tweaks reduce cognitive load, making the whole process more intuitive.

We’re excited to see how these updates help you run smoother performance cycles. Have questions or feedback? Share your thoughts below!
