Run manager reviews, self-reviews, peer reviews and upward feedback. Turn each direction on or off depending on what your organisation is ready for.
Talstack's Performance Reviews module runs full 360-degree cycles including self-review, manager review, peer review, and upward feedback. You can configure which elements to include. Review results feed directly into development planning and goal-setting.
The platform recently added a dispute mechanism where employees can flag disagreement with a manager's review, which is particularly relevant in organisational cultures where senior-junior dynamics can make upward feedback uncomfortable without a formal mechanism.
Cascade goals from company level all the way to each individual. Rename objectives to match your existing terminology. Real-time progress, no spreadsheet chasing.
Talstack's Goals module supports OKR methodology at the company, department, and individual level. You can also rename objectives and key results to match your company's existing terminology, which Leapsome is more prescriptive about.
Both platforms support cascading goals from leadership down to individual contributors. Talstack goes further by supporting OKR, KPI and Balanced Scorecard frameworks, with customisable naming so your team never has to learn new vocabulary.
300+ expert-led courses across leadership, soft skills, finance, marketing, operations and AI. Upload your own content. Assign learning paths by role, team or level.
Talstack's Learning Paths module lets HR teams assign structured upskilling sequences for individuals, teams or levels, then track completion, identify skill gaps, and link those gaps directly to performance review outcomes.
When a manager recommends development areas in a review, HR can loop that recommendation directly into a learning assignment on the same platform. With Talstack, companies are able to build employee training programs combining their own proprietary content and Talstack's content library.
From fintech to hospitals to logistics, high-growth companies building performance cultures.
"You want to be able to put the review on the platform and once the manager is recommending particular skills for this person, immediately loop it into the learning platform. That loop is what we needed, and Talstack provides it natively."
