Identify top performers, development needs and future leaders automatically — a live, evidence-based alternative to the 9-box grid, built from everyday signals on the StaffCircle platform.
Success Circles™ collect, analyse and distil every activity on the StaffCircle platform — building an accurate picture of performance, potential and development from everyday signals, not one-off surveys. Identify top performers, development needs and future leaders at a glance.

Automated dashboards scope out your future leaders — so you can easily identify opportunities and risks, and build bespoke, targeted development plans.
Success Circles™ measure performance against your values using real employee signals, not surveys, so you can invest in the right people with confidence.

The 9-box grid is manual, subjective and out of date the moment it's finished. Success Circles™ replace it with a live, evidence-based view built from everyday activity.
High admin and data inaccuracies leave leaders without a clear overview of workforce ability. Success Circles™ fix that — automatically.

Success Circles™ collect, analyse and distil every single activity on the platform — automatically creating an accurate picture of performance, engagement and development from everyday interactions.
No spreadsheets, no manual scoring. Just an always-current, evidenced view of where your talent sits and where it's heading.
