Case Study: Nirvana runs performance reviews without an HR team with Windmill

How a Leading Healthcare Technology Company Ran Their Mid-Year Performance Review Cycle Without an HR Team

Nirvana, a leading healthcare technology company, faced the challenge of running a mid-year performance review cycle during its busiest season without a dedicated HR team. Chief of Staff Emily Baccaglini needed an efficient process from vendor Windmill that would not disrupt the team's crucial day-to-day work.

Using Windmill's performance review tool, which operates through a conversational Slack interface, Nirvana ran a seamless cycle. The solution resulted in a 100% completion rate for reviews, with a median peer review time of just five minutes. Approximately 80% of employees with prior experience preferred the Windmill process, and the management team found the calibration module particularly valuable for productive performance conversations.
