When creating a Performance Appraisal Template online, creators may choose from four optional sections to include in the template:
When an optional section is chosen, the creator then enters the data for that section as it pertains to their organization and the respective job category in the organization. Once a template is created, a ranking mechanism is automatically activated for each section of the template that provides a numerical scale for rating employee performance as well as text boxes to allow input of specific comments relative to each rating.
Once the template for a job category is created, the employer enters the names of the employees in that job category to be appraised, the projected date of the appraisal, the appraiser's name and ability to notify by email the appraiser of the need for the appraisal to be completed on or before the scheduled date and that the Performance Appraisal template is ready for their use. As an option, an employee to be appraised may also be emailed the appraisal template for their job to complete as a self-appraisal prior to meeting with their supervisor to discuss the appraisal results. In the appraisal meeting between supervisor and employee, both discuss the appraisal(s) and develop the Performance Development goals that may be added to the appraisal to produce the final appraisal report. Completed Performance Appraisals may be emailed for approval at higher levels if desired.
WHY THE ONLINE PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL PROCESS IS UNIQUE
The Online Performance Appraisal system is designed to work in conjunction with the Achiever Assessment system. Many employers use the Achiever Assessment in both the selection and Performance Development process making it a natural fit to include the Achiever Assessment results in the Performance Appraisal process. The Achiever Assessment allows an employee to go online, answer questions about the requirements of their job, and then complete the Achiever assessment. The Achiever provides an objective comparison of the employee's aptitudes and behaviors to the job requirements.
When supervisors have access to this totally independent and objective assessment of the employee to the requirements of the job, it is much easier for the supervisor and employee to establish areas of development. Additionally, the Achiever Assessment provides development suggestions that can be incorporated into the Performance Development goals of the Performance Appraisal report. This objective assessment of the employee relative to the requirements of the job, when combined with the job specific Performance Appraisal, provides the best approach possible to achieve the organization's Performance Management Objectives.
BENEFITS OF DATA RETENTION
The Online Performance Appraisal system maintains data on employees who have been appraised or yet to be appraised, facilitating searches by name or job category. And, since each appraisal includes an overall appraisal score, employers can mine this data when making job promotions or succession planning. Additionally, the system retains an employee's appraisals over a period of time making it easier to validate the employee's performance improvement through successively improved appraisal scores.
