Calibration in Teamflect ensures that employee performance reviews are fair, consistent, and accurate. Instead of sending review scores directly to employees, administrators or designated calibrators can review and adjust scores before finalization. This process helps prevent discrepancies and ensures all evaluations reflect standardized criteria.
Calibration allows HR teams and managers to maintain fairness across multiple reviewers and departments while keeping results confidential until officially released.
To calibrate the scores, please go to Teamflect Admin Center https://admin.teamflect.com:
Step 1:
Find "Modules" on the left navigation bar and click the "Reviews" tab.
Step 2:
Click "Review Templates".
From here, you have the option to create a new Review Template:
Step 3:
After creating a new review template, once you reach the Finalization Flow, you will have the option to decide if you wish to enable Calibration:
If you select “Calibration On,” review results submitted by reviewers will first be sent to Teamflect Administrators for calibration. During this process, administrators can enter calibrated scores, and nothing will be visible to the reviewee until calibration is complete.
On the other hand, selecting “Calibration Off” will bypass the calibration step entirely, and the review results will be finalized as submitted.
Step 4:
After the administrators complete the calibration process, the different scenarios can be selected to take the review to the next step. These scenarios are:
Review will be finalized by a calibration supervisor, reviewer and reviewee will see the calibrated results at the same time.
Reviewers will NOT be able to edit the calibrated results. However, they will release the results to the reviewees themselves. This scenario is used when you want to give reviewers a chance to look at the final scores before discussing them with their direct reports.
Review will be finalized by the reviewer. Reviewers will have a chance to change the calibrated results and release the review to the reviewee themselves.
Then you can click on the "Summary" button to proceed to the next step.
Step 5:
This is how the results section looks in the review before calibration. The reviewer evaluates employee performance and enters their scores in the relevant sections.
Then the reviewer submits the review for calibration.
Review is now in the calibration step.
In this step, the admin calibrates the results and finalizes the review according to the finalization scenario.
This is how the pre-calibrated and final results appear on the review screen while the results are being calibrated.
Beneficial Use Cases
1. Boost Review Fairness with Admin Oversight
By enabling Calibration On in the review template's finalization flow, Teamflect admins or designated calibration supervisors can review and adjust scores before they reach the reviewee—ensuring consistency and fairness across reviews.
2. Flexible Finalization Scenarios for Smooth Collaboration
After calibration, choose how results are finalized:
Calibrators finalize and release results to reviewer and reviewee simultaneously
Reviewer releases results directly but can’t edit calibrated scores
Reviewer can adjust calibrated results before releasing—allowing for thoughtful discussion and alignment.
3. Integrity of Feedback Ensured Until Completion
During calibration, reviewees see nothing—maintaining confidentiality until scores are finalized. This preserves process integrity and avoids premature exposure of evaluation outcomes.
