Reminder: Many of the terms referred to on these screens can be customized by the System Administrator or turned off so your screen may not match these Help Pages.  

 

There are 2 different types of evaluations within the Work Plan Reviews: Business Plans and Professional Development Plans.  

Business Plan: The Business Plan describes the work that an Employee will complete in a review period.  The Business Plan is made up of one or more Business Objectives that are to be evaluated during the review process.

 

Professional Development Plan:  The Professional Development Plan details the career growth planned for the Employee during the review period.  The Professional Development Plan is made up of one or more Professional Development Objectives that are to be evaluated during the review process.  

Note: Please see the Help section Work Plans for more information.

From the Main Menu move your mouse over Employees in the navigation bar and select the Complete/Print Reviews sub-menu function to open the Review List screen.

The Review List defaults to current reviews.  See Filter Box below in order to view other reviews.

 

Note: The reviews that can be viewed on this screen are determined by the User’s Security Access.  Administrative Users and Leads will be able to view their own Reviews plus Reviews of Employees who are Subordinates in the Organization Structure, and Non-Lead Employees will only be able to view their own Reviews.

For Administrators:

There are several Learning and Growth Feedback Policies that govern the Work Plan Reviews:

The Policy "How many response options do you use in Employee Learning and Growth Reviews (5/10)?" controls whether  there are 5 or 10 Evaluation Options.

The Policy "Show Tool Tips on Evaluation Options in the Employee Learning and Growth Reviews?" controls whether Tool Tips are displayed when the user moves their mouse over the various Response Options in the Work Plan Reviews. The Tool Tips for the Work Plan Response Options are maintained in the Learning and Growth Ratings function of the Administration Module and the Tool Tips for the Business Objectives and the Personal Development Plan Response Options are maintained in the Characteristic Tool Tips function. This Policy does not control the Tool Tip for the 'Cannot Comment' (or C/C) option because it is important that users know when they should use Cannot Comment as their response. This option will always display the Tool Tip "Cannot Comment - Choose this response if you haven't had enough interaction with (the reviewee) to be able to provide an evaluation".

A Note about the Evaluation Option “Cannot Comment”:  If an Objective cannot be completed due to extenuating circumstances, or if the Reviewer does not have enough information to appropriately evaluate an Objective, the Reviewer should mark “Cannot Comment” for that Objective.  The Objective will then be waived and will not be included in calculating the Learning and Growth Rating for that review.

 

Note:  When a review is started, the work plan becomes locked and can no longer be edited.
