Five-Point Rating Scale

A Clearer, More Accurate Approach to Performance Reviews

While many organizations rely on a three-point rating scale, we at Salt & Light Advisors recommend a five-point (likert) scale for more precise and meaningful evaluations. This approach provides greater scoring accuracy and helps leaders create performance reviews that are fair, consistent, and actionable.
