<aside> 💡 Hi! Gabriele here

If you don’t know how to start with performance reviews, check out this template.

It’s based on how we run performance reviews in Voxloud.

If you don’t have an HR specialist in your team, don’t worry. Just decide with your team who will cover the HR duties while running the performance reviews.

See you in the next issues of The Saturday RemoteR 👋
