How EmpXtrack assists HR Managers to setup an effective appraisal process

EmpXtrack allows the HR Function to develop a comprehensive form based appraisal that captures all the key inputs required for the successful execution of the performance management process in your organization.

• Availability of multiple Appraisal Templates: Defining the relevant inputs is a key to an effective appraisal. EmpXtrack offers HR Managers a number of predefined templates that can be customized according to the specific needs of your company, as shown in Figure 1. Each template contains options for setting attributes, ordering them in the desired layout, setting mechanisms for capture of scoring and also setting up a help on each page to help the user understand the nuances of each form.

   

  There are various pre-defined templates in EmpXtrack appraisal module to help you quickly setup the relevant inputs and include Introduction, Self-Appraisal, Employee career profile, Competencies, Goal sheet, Transfer/Promotion recommendations, Salary recommendations, 360 Feedback, Relative Ranking, Final scores, Final Score & Submit, Performance Improvement Plan and many others.

  EmpXtrack allows to setup multiple versions of the templates (eg. Multiple competency templates) that can be allocated to different groups of employees.

  You can create different appraisals for different employee groups through a unique concept called Appraisal plans. An appraisal plan combines a group of employees, a set of forms and scoring logic into a unique set allowing a completely unique type of appraisal for a group of employees. For instance you could have a Sales Appraisal Plan, a Confirmation Appraisal Plan and an Annual appraisal Plan.

• Identify appropriate stakeholders: In many companies only the manager provides a feedback on the Employee. EmpXtrack encourages inputs from multiple stakeholders including the Employee, Manager, Managers-Manager (or reviewer), Head of Department (Director) and even CEO.

   

  EmpXtrack appraisal module allows you to identify all the employees who will be involved in the Appraisal process, their visibility and access rights at each stage and the inputs they are allowed to make on each form. This allows HR to involve multiple employees, yet maintain complete confidentiality in ratings and comments till the final results are shared.

• Communicate the process:
