There are three ways to view an employee’s prior annual review score: 1. Search for one employee directly from the homepage 2. Run a report that displays review scores for multiple employees for **one** annual review year 3. Run a report that displays review scores for multiple employees across **multiple years**

1) Search from the Homepage

Click on the magnifying glass icon

Type the name of the employee and then click on their name in the list that appears

You are now viewing the employee’s Snapshot, which displays their most recent annual review score and their current goals. In the example below, the employee received approximately 5 out of 10 for the CY2024 Annual Review. You can also see that the employee does not have any active goals for the current calendar year, which is common between January and March while the annual review process is underway.

To view more details about the review, click anywhere in the Annual Review box

This page displays both current and prior annual review scores for the employee. In the example below, you can see that the employee received a 5.17 out of 10 on the CY2024 Annual Review and a Successful & Effective rating on the CY2023 Annual Review.

To view the details of a particular review, click the down arrow icon and then select "Print Review - Reviewer's Version".

2) Run a Report for Multiple Employees for a Specific Year

Click on the navigation menu in the upper-right hand corner

Click "Reports"

Click "Standard Reports"

Click "Performance Review Rating"

Next you will need to select the specific Annual Review year you want to view. Click on the icon next to "Performance Review Task"

A new window will open up where you can select the task. In this example, we will click "Annual Review - CY2024"

You can just view the information by clicking "Printable Version"

A new window will open up that lists all of your employees and their annual review scores for that specific year.

Alternatively, you can click "Export to Excel"

3) Run a Report for Multiple Employees over Multiple Years

Click on the navigation menu in the upper-right hand corner

Click "Reports"

Click "Custom Reports"

Next to the "Annual Review Status Report - Previous Year(s)" click on the Excel icon to download your report

Go to your downloads and open the file (it will be named something like Annual_Review_Status_Report\_-\_Previous_Year(s)\_20260107_12_22_14_PM)

Note - multiple columns have been hidden for the purposes of this walk-through.

By default, this report will show all of your employees and all of their review scores since 2023 (when Cornerstone was implemented). In this example, you can see that Aurora received a 5.17 on her CY2024 Annual Review and she received a 3.00 on her CY2023 Annual Review. Note: The CY2023 Annual Review will appear on this report as either "Annual Review - Staff" or "Annual Review - Supervisor."
