Peer Selection Warning Banner

Once a review cycle is in the Peer Selection phase, employees and managers will have the ability to nominate peer reviewers. After nominations are complete, admins and managers will be prompted to approve them. The peer selection warning banner appears to let managers or admins know that someone has been frequently selected for peer reviews.

We believe that employees who are writing five or more peer reviews can experience review fatigue. Additionally, these reviewers may not have enough time to give valuable feedback to all peers. To achieve high-quality feedback, we have enabled a warning banner to help prevent review fatigue when it comes to peer reviews.

This banner will show up when the employee being selected as a potential peer reviewer surpasses the peer nomination limit set when configuring the Review Cycle. 

Note: This is a warning banner and doesn't prevent an individual from requesting or approving a highly nominated peer reviewer.

When creating a review cycle, an admin can limit peer nominations in the "Advanced Options" within the Review Settings tab, as shown below.

An admin can also edit the peer selection limit in an active review cycle.

Note: If there is no set limit for a review cycle, the banner will appear when an employee has been nominated five or more times.

This banner will show up when a selected peer reviewer has reached the limit of peer nominations. This can show up in three places: 

If an employee nominates a peer that has already been nominated, the employee will see the following banner as they select that highly nominated peer reviewer.

Suppose a manager is approving peer selections for a direct report selected as a highly nominated peer reviewer. In that case, the manager will see the following banner when approving and overriding peer nominations. 

The same behavior will occur when an admin overrides any peer nomination.
