Convert Google Docs Performance Reviews to PDF
Performance reviews written in Google Docs contain sensitive assessments of individual employees. Sharing the review as a Google Doc link creates a version control problem: the employee or their manager could change the content after the meeting. Converting to PDF at the conclusion of the review process creates a fixed, signed version that is the official record. HR managers can convert all reviews for a review cycle in one batch operation.
Locking the review at sign-off
Once a performance review is agreed upon and signed off by the manager and reviewed by the employee, convert it to PDF. The PDF is the final record. It cannot be changed after the fact, which protects both the employee and the manager.
Employee acknowledgment
The PDF can be sent to the employee via an e-signature tool for their signature and acknowledgment. The signed PDF goes into the employee's HR file as the official performance record.
Batch converting a review cycle
If you are running an annual review cycle for fifty employees, all fifty review documents can be converted in one batch. Place all completed reviews in a Drive folder, select all, and run the extension. Fifty PDFs in one operation.
