During the performance appraisal, employees are categorized into bands on the basis of their performance to measure their progress. Such as Band A can be defined as outstanding performance, Band B can be defined as good performance, Band C can be defined as employees who exceed expectations, and Band D and E can be defined as below expectations and poor performances. These band definitions will vary based on the organization.
Let us take a look at how we can allocate/assign performance bands.
Navigate to the Performance (1) module and select the Reviews (2) section, where you'll be redirected to the Review Groups (3).
Next, select the required review group from the list, select the review cycle, and click on View progress (4).
During the Post Review process (1), navigate to the Review Analysis (2) section and select the option to View Bands (3).
A new window will appear displaying the rating ranges assigned to each performance band according to the established criteria.
Select the Band from the Dropdown(1) and click on Complete Band Allocation(2).
The next step involves navigating to the Calibration(1) section, where you can choose to filter employees by department, business unit, or manager. Next, choose the specific section from which you would like to select employees currently in the review process. Then, click on the Manage (3) option.
You may also select multiple employees at once by utilizing the bulk selection feature. To do this, simply check the boxes next to the names of the employees you wish to include. After selecting the desired employees, navigate to the Band dropdown menu (4). Here, you can choose the appropriate performance band that aligns with the assessment criteria you have established for the selected group.
This feature not only streamlines the allocation process but also ensures consistency in performance evaluation across your team. Once you have made your selection, review the allocations to ensure they reflect the intended performance assessments. When you are satisfied with the band assignments for the selected employees, you can finalize the calibration process for each individual by clicking on Finalize Calibration(5).
This action will confirm the performance band assignments and move the respective employees into the Finalized stage of the review process.
