How to apply Performance filter on People Analytics metrics

Related pages:

Integrating performance review data with your broader people analytics provides a richer, more holistic view of your workforce. Instead of analyzing isolated metrics, you can uncover meaningful relationships between performance and every stage of the employee lifecycle—from hiring through to exit.

By enabling Performance Rating as a filter across all your metrics, you can:

  • 🔍 Spot trends among top and low performers

  • 🧠 Understand what drives performance across departments, roles, and managers

  • 🎯 Make informed decisions around talent development, compensation, and retention

It’s not just about knowing who is performing—it’s about understanding why, and what that means for your organization as a whole.

How It Works


With our Perform and People Analytics products combined, you’ll be able to filter all of your people analytics metrics with data coming from your performance review.

Learn more about how we calculate performance rating scores.

Getting started is easy:

  • Complete at least one Performance review cycle

  • Your Performance Rating will then appear as a filter in People Analytics

  • Use it to slice and analyze any metric available in People Analytics

To apply the filter:

  1. Navigate to any metric

  2. Select Performance Rating as a filter

  3. Choose a specific performer category, or all

Key Use Cases


Some of the top use cases that this functionality unlocks are the following:

Top Performer Retention:

See if your high performers are leaving at higher rates. Use this insight to improve their experience, engagement, and retention.

Cost of Underperformance:

Filter headcount cost data by performance rating to estimate how much budget is allocated to underperformers—and make informed decisions about coaching, role fit, or restructuring.

Performance vs. Sentiment:

Compare employee sentiment scores with performance ratings to uncover whether low engagement is correlated with underperformance, or if high performers feel burned out.

Diversity and Performance:

Analyze performance trends across different demographic groups to ensure equitable development and identify any systemic biases in performance outcomes.

Manager Impact:

Filter team performance by manager to evaluate leadership effectiveness and spot where additional support or training may be needed.
