For HR, ensuring that everyone in the company completes their performance appraisals on time is not an easy task. So it's no surprise that in many organizations, employee evaluations are not being completed on time, if at all!
When this happens, employees are left working without goals, have no formal feedback on their performance and have no development plans in place to ensure their continued growth. The basic foundations of performance management are missing.
So what can your organization do to drive up your on-time completion rates?
Automate Your Employee Performance Appraisal Process
Moving from a paper-based process to a web-based tool like Halogen eAppraisal™ lets you easily automate your process. Task details and employee evaluation forms are automatically routed to the appropriate staff at the appropriate time. Everyone knows what they have to do, and no one has to worry about what happens next.
Assign Specific Due Dates for Tasks
Halogen eAppraisal lets you specify a due date for every task in your process. Now everyone knows exactly when they need to complete their specific task by, rather than just having a vague completion date - like the end of the quarter - for the overall process.
Easily Monitor the Whole Employee Review Process
Quickly identify bottlenecks in your process so you can take corrective action before it's too late. Halogen eAppraisal provides you with a process dashboard and real-time reports that let you do just that.
Send Friendly Reminders
Wouldn't it be great if everyone got reminded when they had an appraisal task to perform, or one that was past due? Wouldn't that help drive up your on-time completion rates? Halogen eAppraisal makes it easy. You decide what automated email notices get sent to whom, when and how often, and Halogen eAppraisal does the rest. It even consolidates multiple reminders into a single optimized email, avoiding HR SPAM - a unique Halogen feature!
No Learning Curve - Familiar Employee Evaluation Forms
You don't have to change the way you do things today! Halogen eAppraisal lets you create customized employee evaluation forms that match the paper forms you use today. You can include branding elements, and use your company's familiar language and structure.
Speed Up the Writing of Employee Evaluations
Writing employee performance appraisals for direct reports can be time intensive. Searching for information on past goals, performance highlights, competencies, training records, etc. can take hours. Now you don't have to! Halogen eAppraisal gives managers fingertip access to everything they need - from journal notes, self-evaluations, multi-rater assessments, past appraisals and talent profiles, to employee goals and development plans and more. All this information is stored right within the application and can be easily accessed when creating an employee's performance appraisal.
The task of writing personalized comments for each employee performance appraisal can take a lot of time as well. Halogen eAppraisal makes it easy for managers to write richly detailed, high quality appraisals in 50-75% less time. Its Comment Helper banishes writer's block, and managers can cut and paste text from other sources right into the appraisal form to speed things up. Halogen eAppraisal also gives managers Development Tips they can use to help coach employees, and it comes complete with a spelling checker and a language sensitivity checker to ensure quality results.
Ensuring your employee performance appraisals get completed on time is key to driving a high-performance workforce and contributes to employee motivation and retention. Most of our customers see dramatic increases in their on-time completion rates, right from their very first employee performance appraisal cycle.
