viEval is a best-in-class performance evaluation tool designed for billable professionals. It refines every aspect of a firm’s performance, especially on client work, by simplifying the annual review process into an easy workflow. The software helps capture essential results, including performance on projects and client work, by automatically pulling in all client work and hours from billing systems. This ensures no client work is overlooked, enabling quick and easy evaluations. viEval builds high-performance cultures through 360-degree annual evaluations and integrates real-time feedback for continuous improvement. The system is customizable for any role, department, or practice area, allowing firms to set up a performance management process of any complexity with an intelligent process builder. Pre-built templates for law firms are available, or users can design their own process to capture precise feedback. Forms are easy to complete, accessible on any device, and include automated reminders to ensure timely completion. The software also provides tools to analyze overall organization results, review evaluation timelines, and build summary reports for offices, departments, or individuals. Ranking reports help pinpoint top performers and those who need more guidance.
