Run performance review cycles from Google Calendar

An Orkeste agent owns the logistics of your review cycle: scheduling self-reviews, peer feedback windows, and 1:1s in Google Calendar with smart reminders. HR approves the cadence before anything lands in employees' calendars.

How the workflow runs

1. Load cycle plan: Agent ingests the cycle plan: phases, dates, populations.
2. Draft invites and reminders: Generates calendar invites and nudge schedule per population.
3. HR approves cadence: HR reviews the full schedule, edits any phase before approval.
4. Send invites: Creates Google Calendar invites for self-review, peer, and 1:1 slots.
5. Nudge late participants: Sends polite reminders to anyone behind schedule, flagged to HR.

Human-in-the-loop: The full cycle cadence is HR-approved before invites are sent; escalations are routed to a human, never auto-pinged repeatedly.

Questions about this workflow

Does it integrate with our review tool?

Yes. Lattice, 15Five, CultureAmp and similar tools can sync state so reminders match real progress.

Can it handle calibration sessions?

Yes. Calibration meetings are scheduled with the right manager group based on cycle config.

What about contractors?

Populations are configurable, so contractors can be included or excluded per cycle.
