Employee performance appraisals are a vital way to encourage dialogue between managers and employees, but doing them right can take a lot of time for everyone involved. Making your process efficient is key to deriving value from it.
Paper Appraisals Processes are Inefficient!
If you are using a manual, paper-based employee performance appraisal process, you're likely wasting a lot of time! Printing out forms, completing them by hand, running after management at various levels for approvals, photocopying them to ensure everyone has a copy, etc. If your organization is spread across multiple locations, you're likely spending time mailing forms and waiting for them to be returned.
There's also a lot of waste on the process management side. HR representatives struggle to keep track of all that paper. Counting forms, filing them away in an organized manner, and manually managing spreadsheets to determine which appraisals have been completed and which have not. Try as they might, it's nearly impossible to provide accurate details on process status.
No wonder company-wide completion rates are so low!
In addition, with manual processes, there is no easy way to extract useful information about the performance appraisal process, like strengths, weaknesses, and training plans.

Automate Tracking and Get Visual Reports
One of the most time consuming tasks for HR is tracking the progress and completion of employee performance appraisals. We hear stories everyday of HR specialists maintaining complicated spreadsheets or checklists, and manually sifting through piles of paper and counting returned employee review forms. All of that takes significant time and energy, often returning little value to the organization. Halogen eliminates all this paper shuffling, by keeping track of your process and progress for you. HR Managers can get a quick graphical view of the status of their process using the Process Status Dashboard, and can easily get details using the Detailed Status Report and On Time Report.
