The system is the biggest problem for me. Once they start the routing process, it's guaranteed to be a nightmare, to be very honest. it's been this way for the 5 yrs i have been doing reviews... i was excited for a new software but maybe soon!

Collecting all my thoughts and putting them to paper. I keep notes throughout the year but I still find it difficult

The system is confusing - very poor UI. No reason we can't get with them to make it better, smoother, and clearer.
Goals should be Fully Complete by 12/31 and fully approved by HR. We should never be changing goals this year that are for last year.
There should be standards given to managers for what the numbers mean. 3.0 "Meets All" needs to be a high standard, for example... There seems to be grade inflation in my looking backwards.
My team wants access to the Self Eval system in early January.
The entire Review process should be done far earlier in the year. Some linger until May & June. That's far, far too long to be useful.

You also need to allow room for growth. I had managers at my last CU who rated employees very highly to avoid tough conversations. Even brand new employees were rated highly. No one is a 5.0 in their first year. Allow growth
