Absolutely! Engage has one of the most customizable review form builders on the market. You can add qualitative and quantitative questions and mix and match rating scales. You can link competency frameworks to performance reviews with one click. You can simultaneously define and launch different review forms for your organization (e.g., probation period reviews, 360° reviews, leadership reviews, etc.). You can also define the anonymity of feedback forms.

The implementation and set-up process for a performance review process can take up to four weeks, depending on various aspects, such as the existing performance system, the number of team members onboarded, and training needs.

The steps are:

1. Meet stakeholders to assess the status quo, review requirements, and align on the desired “go live” date
2. Design and create the performance review process (questions, reviewers to include, timeline, etc.) 
3. Define a plan to communicate the rollout to employees and managers
4. Train managers and team members
5. Onboard team members to the platform
6. Launch the review
7. Conduct additional manager training for interpreting and sharing results

Note that if you also need to include competencies in your review form, the process will take longer, as you will need to define competencies for all roles and levels within your organization.

You can integrate Engage with your existing HRIS. However, you will need to set up Deel's HRIS, as it’s a required foundation for all Deel HR solutions, Engage included, enabling you to benefit from functionalities like job architecture and workflow automation.

No, Engage is only sold as an all-in-one system. Engage is a product bundle that includes reviews, goals, surveys, development plans, learning, and career management. There's no requirement to use all, but they are more powerful when used together to create one coherent talent management strategy.
