What Is an Activity?

In Ladderocity, an Activity is any documented interaction or event between fire department leadership and personnel that has significance—whether positive, neutral, or corrective. Activities are used to create a reliable and ongoing record of performance, communication, and expectations over time.

By logging Activities, departments build clear documentation that promotes transparency, enhances accountability, and supports more informed personnel decisions. This includes things like commendations, coaching conversations, policy reminders, or disciplinary actions.

Accurate activity tracking ensures that performance discussions are based on consistent, recorded interactions—not just memory.

Remember: These Activities will be visible on the employee’s performance review and can be a key part of how performance trends and behavior patterns are evaluated over time.

💡 Best Practice Suggestion: Many departments find it helpful to encourage supervisors to log Activities soon after important conversations or events. This helps maintain a clear and timely record, especially when it comes time for evaluations, promotions, or internal reviews.
