Calibration of Appraisal Documents 

Purpose

A calibration process has the following goals:

·        Compare employees' performance feedback that has been created on the basis of the same appraisal template.

·        Align employees' valuations and, if necessary, change the appraisal documents as appropriate.

·        This process is usually performed in a meeting at manager level. An employee from the HR department who has the necessary authorizations for changing the documents participates in this meeting.

·        The calibration process is only available as a Web application.

·        Since the calibration process is performed by system administration, the processor must have administrator authorizations.

Prerequisites

·        Appraisal documents that are based on the same appraisal template exist for those employees whose appraisal documents are to be included in the calibration process.

Process Flow

The calibration process is divided into the following steps:

       1.      Specify employees to be compared
You use the following selection criteria to select the appraisal documents that are to be included in the process:

                            a.      Appraisal Template

                            b.      Appraisal period

                            c.      Status of appraisal documents to be compared
You can specify whether only appraisal documents with the same status are to be determined or whether documents with any status are to be included in the comparison.

       2.      Compare appraisal documents
You display the results in a table or as a graphic and can compare these with one another.

       3.      Edit appraisal documents
You branch to the required appraisal document and edit the valuations.

Integration

Selection of appraised employees

To select employees for the calibration process, call the relevant Business Server Page.
You can use the following selection options to determine the required employees:

·        Select employees by entering the personnel numbers directly.

·        Depending on the selected appraiser, the documents appraised by this appraiser are determined.

·        Determine employees according to their assignment to an organizational unit.

Note that the program only determines those employees for which a valid appraisal template exists in the validity period.

To ensure that the system administrator can create the employee result list in advance, user-specific variants can be created.

Displaying Results

You can select a maximum of two dimensions to make comparisons. The Final Appraisal column is always used as a basis for one of the two dimensions.

Depending on your requirements, you can display the results as a table or a graphic.
To branch to the appraisal document, click on the name of the appraisee in the table. You can adjust the appraisal values as required.

Result

You have performed a calibration process.
