About us

Pro/Ref was born from a real organizational need

Pro/Ref emerged from the need to make employee evaluation processes in educational institutions fairer, more comprehensive and more development-focused. Quality in educational institutions is shaped not only by academic results, but also by the experience of teachers, administrators, teams and parents.

We set out with this understanding. We implemented a multi-stakeholder evaluation approach in our own organization; we experienced the process’s contribution to employee development, internal communication and managerial awareness. We developed Pro/Ref to make this experience more systematic, scalable and accessible. Today, Pro/Ref is positioned not just as a tool that measures educational institutions’ human resources processes, but one that develops them.

Solution story

We turned scattered feedback into meaningful development data

Each role evaluates the people and processes it interacts with; this creates a more holistic and balanced evaluation picture within the organization.

Scattered feedback

Subjective impressions spread across channels and people

Structured 360° process

Evaluation designed by role and relationship type

Meaningful development data

Fair, comparable and actionable results

Parent

Evaluates the experience they have with teachers and administrators.

Teacher

Evaluates their manager and peers.

Manager

Evaluates teachers and teams.

Peer

Evaluates the colleague they work with.

Employee

Evaluates their own performance and development areas.

Self-assessment

Evaluates their own performance and development areas.

This structure produces more than individual performance data alone; it offers a multi-layered view of team cohesion, leadership perception, communication quality, parent experience, professional responsibility and organizational culture.

Vision

Building organizations where feedback is given with trust and development is supported by data

Pro/Ref’s vision is to build a reliable evaluation and development ecosystem that can be used at a global scale for educational institutions and people-centered organizations. We believe that in the organizations of the future, employee evaluation will not be just an annual process, but part of a culture of continuous learning, mutual trust and professional development.

Mission

Making organizations’ human resources decisions fairer, more inclusive and more data-driven

We offer a digital evaluation platform that turns the voice of employees, managers, teachers, parents and teams into meaningful data. We give organizations not just a report, but development areas, prioritization, an action plan and a sustainable quality culture. With AI-powered analysis and the AI Tutor, these reports become person-level development roadmaps.

Core values

People, trust and development are at the center of Pro/Ref

Fairness

Evaluation processes should not be one-sided, but multi-stakeholder and balanced.

Trust

A safe, structured and respectful environment where feedback can be given healthily.

Development

The goal is not to label people, but to make development areas visible and support progress.

Transparency

Making organizations’ decision-making processes more open, understandable and data-driven.

Adaptability

Every organization’s culture, structure and needs differ; Pro/Ref can be configured flexibly.

Methodology

We don’t see evaluation as just a score

Pro/Ref does not treat evaluation merely as a process that produces a numerical result; the core approach is to turn feedback from different stakeholders into a meaningful development framework.

Every evaluation process is designed by taking role, relationship type, organizational goals and competency areas into account. This way, each participant evaluates only the areas they can genuinely observe. This makes results more meaningful, fair and actionable. The existence of the evaluation process builds performance and behavior awareness in employees throughout the cycle.
