Definition
Human-reviewed HR signals are patterns in employee feedback or work context that suggest a question deserves attention. They are prompts for a responsible review, not a score, prediction, or decision about a person.
They differ from an individual assessment. A signal may show that several new starters mention unclear handovers. It does not establish why this is happening or identify who is at fault.
Illustrative example
An HR partner sees repeated comments about unclear first-week priorities in one team. Before acting, the manager checks the underlying context, speaks with the team, and learns that a system change removed a useful checklist. They restore and adapt the checklist, then revisit the issue later. The signal initiated inquiry; people made the decision.
A responsible review checks:
- the pattern's scope and context;
- whether someone needs immediate support;
- the action and its owner.
Lontra fit
Lontra can organise context for review and preserve an agreed follow-up. Access must respect each role: managers do not receive raw employee conversations. HR and managers review the information available to them and remain responsible for interpretation and escalation.
