Performance appraisal: periods, competencies and calibration.
An appraisal period is opened, a competency template assigned, evaluators set. Results are aligned in a calibration meeting and visualized in the 9-box matrix.
What Performans does
Appraisal periods
An annual or periodic appraisal calendar; start, end and stage transitions defined.
Competency templates
Competency sets by position; each competency carries a weight and scale.
360-degree feedback
Manager, peer, subordinate and self-assessment; combined via an evaluator matrix.
Calibration
A calibration board to align manager scores; deviations are discussed.
9-box talent matrix
A performance × potential matrix; high-potential and to-develop employees stand out.
Goal tracking
Individual goals are defined, progress tracked through the period and included in the appraisal.

1 dayPerformance appraisal system
Performance appraisal software standardizes employee appraisal: the same competency set, the same scale and the same calendar for everyone. Its purpose is to turn appraisal into a comparable, development-oriented process rather than a form that gathers dust.
The importance of calibration
Where one manager averages a 4 and another a 3, employees are treated unequally. Calibration aligns scores across managers, so a score means the same thing wherever it is given.
The performance–training link
The output of an appraisal should be a development plan, not a score. When results feed the training module, a to-develop competency turns into an assigned training — and appraisal becomes a cycle rather than a one-off event.

What does performance appraisal software provide?
It standardizes the appraisal process: the same competency set, the same scale, the same calendar for everyone. Results become comparable and turn into a development plan rather than sitting in a file.
How is a 360-degree appraisal done?
A combination of manager, peer, subordinate and self-assessment is collected for each employee via the evaluator matrix, giving a more balanced picture than a single manager's view.
What does calibration mean?
A meeting to remove the difference in scoring strictness between managers, so the same score means the same thing across the organization.
What is the 9-box matrix?
A nine-cell grid positioning employees on the performance and potential axes; it makes high-potential and to-develop employees visible.
Are results shared with the employee?
Yes. The employee sees their own appraisal result and goals from their own panel.
