One Platform for Every Conversation in the Employee Lifecycle

Fully customizable digital forms for every type of employee conversation. Automated scheduling and reminders. Draft privacy so employees and managers prepare independently before the discussion. Visualized summary reports for HR. Historical data accessible across the years. And a process that employees and managers can start using immediately — no training required. 

 The result: less time spent on reporting. More time spent on the work that matters. 

Performance Reviews

Performance Reviews & Development Discussions

The annual performance review carries more weight than any other HR process. PlanPro makes it run smoothly — for everyone involved.

Fully customizable forms Build your own review questionnaire with the questions, scales, and structure that match your organization's culture. Or start with ready-made templates and customize them from there. Call it a performance appraisal, a development discussion, a collaborative conversation — the form adapts to your terminology.
Flexible workflow Choose who initiates the review: the employee, the manager, or both simultaneously. Managers can delegate reviews to team leads. Drafts remain private until submitted — employees and managers prepare independently, then come together for the actual conversation.
Goal setting and evaluation Set goals and targets during the review. Agreed activities form the employee's personal work plan. At the next review, evaluate goal completion using previously agreed metrics and KPIs.
Multi-year history Access all previous review forms for any employee in one place. See development over time. Managers view a visualized summary of their team's review results.
Probation Assessments

Probation Period Assessments

The first 90 days define whether a new hire stays or leaves. PlanPro automates the conversations that make probation meaningful — not just a formality.

Automated scheduling Set rules once: PlanPro automatically sends the right form to the right employee at the right time. After the first week, at midpoint, before the probation ends — whatever your timeline requires. HR doesn't need to track dates manually.
Onboarding feedback Gather structured feedback from new employees about their onboarding experience, their supervisor, and the organization. Identify issues early — before they become reasons for leaving.
Probation end decision support When the probation period ends, the manager has a documented record of all conversations, feedback, and development observations. The decision to confirm or end employment is grounded in evidence, not a single impression.
360° Feedback

360° Feedback

One perspective is never the full picture. PlanPro's 360° feedback gathers input from every direction — and presents it in a way that drives development, not defensiveness.

Multi-source feedback Collect assessments from the employee (self-evaluation), their direct manager, subordinates, peers, and external partners or clients. Each evaluator group uses the same structured form, ensuring comparability.
Individual summary reports Each employee receives a visualized report highlighting differences between self-perception and feedback from others. See where self-assessment aligns with external feedback — and where the gaps are. This report is the starting point for a development conversation, not a judgment.
Configurable anonymity Define which evaluator groups are anonymous and which are attributed. Balance openness with psychological safety based on your organizational culture.
Competency & Values

Competency Assessment & Values Alignment

Skills and values are harder to measure than task completion — but they matter more for long-term organizational health.

Competency models Evaluate employees against general organizational competencies or position-specific competency frameworks. Use rating scales, behavioral indicators, or free-text commentary — or combine all three.
Values assessment Include organizational values as a dimension in performance evaluations. Give employees the opportunity to describe how they apply values in their daily work. Give managers the data to see which values are well-embedded and which need reinforcement.
Engagement Surveys

Engagement Surveys & Pulse Checks

You can't improve what you don't measure. PlanPro runs structured surveys that give leadership actionable data on how employees experience the organization.

Employee satisfaction surveys Conduct in-depth satisfaction surveys with custom questions, scales, and open-text fields. Results are displayed as visualized summaries, so HR and leadership see the full picture immediately.
Engagement pulse surveys Run regular short-form engagement checks (like Gallup Q12 methodology) to monitor organizational health over time. Track trends, compare departments, and identify early warning signs.
eNPS Measure employee Net Promoter Score to gauge overall employee advocacy and satisfaction with a single, benchmarkable metric.
Work environment risk analysis Conduct structured work environment surveys to meet regulatory requirements and identify psychosocial risk factors.
Exit Interviews

Exit Interviews

The most honest feedback often comes from people who are leaving. PlanPro captures it systematically.

Automated exit surveys PlanPro automatically sends exit interview forms based on the employee's leave date (synced via Active Directory integration). No manual triggering is required.
Manager-blind results Exit survey responses are not visible to the departing employee's direct manager. Employees can share freely knowing their feedback goes to HR, not the person they may be leaving because of.
Aggregate analysis Over time, exit interview data reveals patterns: recurring reasons for leaving, departments with higher turnover drivers, management issues that surface consistently. This data informs retention strategy — not just individual departures.

50,000+ Reviews and Surveys Conducted Annually

PlanPro is the most widely used employee appraisal software in Estonia. Organizations from 50-person enterprises to 5,000-user hospitals run their entire review cycle on PlanPro — because the forms are flexible enough to fit any process, and the interface is simple enough that employees complete them without training.

Why Your Appraisal Tool Should Be More Than a Form Builder ​

Digitize the process, not just the form

Connect performance to the bigger picture

Standalone power with modular scalability

A form builder gives you a digital questionnaire. PlanPro gives you automated scheduling, draft privacy, delegation workflows, multi-year history, visualized reporting, and Active Directory integration.

The entire review cycle runs with minimal HR coordination. Administration that used to consume weeks now takes days.

PlanPro connects employee performance to what matters most. Tasks from performance reviews can link directly to strategic goals.

Performance isn't evaluated in a vacuum — it's evaluated against what the organization is actively trying to accomplish.

This strategic connection is optional. Organizations that only need the appraisal module get a powerful, standalone solution that works perfectly on its own.

PlanPro is the only platform in the market built to seamlessly do both.

Standalone or Connected — Your Choice

Many organizations come to PlanPro for the appraisal module alone — and that’s perfectly fine. The module works independently: performance reviews, 360° feedback, engagement surveys, exit interviews, probation assessments. Full functionality, no requirement to use the broader platform.

Some organizations start with appraisals and expand when the time is right. When that happens, the connection to strategy execution, project management, budgeting, risk management, and time tracking is already there — nothing to migrate, nothing to re-integrate.

Developed with HR Experts. Built for Real Organizations.

Employees and managers start using PlanPro immediately. The interface is self-explanatory. HR doesn't need to run training sessions before every review cycle.
PlanPro's appraisal module was built in collaboration with HR professionals over 17 years. The logic reflects real-world performance management experience and best practice — not a developer's assumption of how HR works.
Users import automatically with pre-defined roles and organizational structure. When someone joins or leaves, the system updates. No manual user management.
Web-based access with ID-card, Mobile-ID, or username/password authentication. OWASP-certified security. On-premise or cloud deployment — your data stays where you decide.
Wide user base means continuous development. Regular version updates with new features and functionality. Maintenance and customer support are included in the service.

Frequently asked questions

Can we use PlanPro only for employee appraisals?

Yes. The appraisal and survey module are available as a standalone solution. Performance reviews, 360° feedback, engagement surveys, probation assessments, exit interviews — all fully functional without the broader strategy execution platform. Many organizations start with appraisals and expand to other modules later when the time is right.

What types of reviews and surveys can PlanPro handle?

PlanPro supports an unlimited number of questionnaire types including performance reviews, development discussions, probation assessments (start, midpoint, end), competency evaluations, values alignment, 360° feedback, engagement pulse surveys, eNPS, employee satisfaction surveys, work environment risk analyses, and exit interviews.

Forms are fully customizable — you build the questions, scales, and structure that match your organization.

How customizable are the review forms?

Completely. You can create any combination of scale questions, multiple choice, free text fields, competency ratings, goal evaluation sections, file uploads, instructions, images, and links. You define mandatory vs. optional fields, set which party completes each section, and control privacy settings. If you can describe the form, PlanPro can build it.

How does the 360° feedback process work?

You define the evaluator groups: self-evaluation, direct manager, peers, subordinates, and/or external partners. Responses aggregate into an individual summary report that highlights differences between self-perception and external feedback. Anonymity settings are configurable per evaluator group to ensure psychological safety.

Does PlanPro automate the scheduling?

Yes. Probation period and exit interview forms are sent automatically based on dates synced from Active Directory. HR sets the rules once — PlanPro handles reminders, deadline management, and completion tracking. Managers receive automated email notifications, and HR sees a real-time dashboard of completion status.

Can managers see exit interview responses?

No. Exit survey results are deliberately hidden from the departing employee's direct manager. This ensures employees can provide honest feedback about their experience and reasons for leaving without concern that it affects their final weeks or future references.

How does PlanPro compare to tools like BambooHR or Culture Amp?

BambooHR is an HRIS handling core data; Culture Amp focuses on engagement analytics. PlanPro focuses on the operational process of conducting reviews at scale — with deeper form customization, flexible workflows, automated scheduling, and the unique option to connect performance data directly to strategic goals and projects.

Is PlanPro suitable for large organizations?

Yes. PlanPro conducts 50,000+ reviews annually. Large institutions like North Estonia Medical Centre operate with 5,000+ users. The platform is built for organizations where scale, departmental complexity, and multiple employee types are the norm, ensuring the process runs reliably across all of them.
