HR Use Cases
Performance Review Reminder Flow
Keep every review cycle on schedule with automated reminders, escalations, and completion tracking, without HR chasing a single manager.
Why Performance Cycles Keep Slipping
Managers Deprioritise Reviews Under Workload
Performance reviews compete with live projects, quarterly targets, and daily operations. Without structured nudges, submissions drift, and the cycle extends by weeks.
HR Becomes the Cycle's Enforcement Layer
When completion relies on HR manually tracking and chasing every team, the process consumes hours that should go to strategic people development.
Late Reviews Skew Compensation Cycles
When performance data arrives inconsistently, merit decisions, promotion timelines, and compensation reviews are delayed, affecting trust and employee satisfaction.
How It Works
Cycle Launch Detection
HR opens a review cycle in your performance management platform. CogniAgent detects the event and begins tracking all required submissions across the organisation.
Role-Specific Reminder Scheduling
The agent maps which employees and managers need to complete what (self-assessments, peer reviews, or manager evaluations) and schedules personalised reminders for each.
Tiered Nudge Sequences
Reminders go out at configured intervals: a friendly first prompt, a firmer follow-up as the deadline approaches, and a final alert in the last 48 hours.
Completion Status Monitoring
CogniAgent tracks submission status in real time, updating a live dashboard that HR can consult without pulling manual reports.
Overdue Escalation
When a deadline passes without submission, the agent escalates to the employee's skip-level manager or HR business partner, with context on who hasn't submitted and why it matters.
Cycle Closure Summary
Once the review window closes, CogniAgent generates a completion report: submission rates by team, escalations triggered, and any outstanding items requiring HR resolution.

Step-by-Step Setup
Step 1
Connect CogniAgent to your performance management platform (Lattice, Leapsome, 15Five, Workday, or custom) to detect cycle events.
Step 2
Define reminder schedules per review type — self-assessments may need earlier nudges than manager reviews.
Step 3
Configure escalation rules: who gets notified when submissions are overdue, and at what threshold.
Step 4
Launch the cycle — CogniAgent handles all follow-up autonomously. HR opens the dashboard only when they need a status check.
Frequently Asked Questions
CogniAgent connects with Lattice, Leapsome, 15Five, Culture Amp, Workday, and BambooHR performance modules via API. Custom platform integrations are available.
Yes. Every message is personalised with the recipient's name, the specific review they need to complete, and the exact deadline, making each nudge feel targeted, not generic.
Managers can receive automated team status updates at configured intervals, or access a manager-facing dashboard showing which direct reports have and haven't submitted.
CogniAgent can be configured to pause reminders for employees on leave and either extend their individual deadline or assign a proxy reviewer — based on your HR policy.
