Managing an evaluation round

Once you have published the evaluation round, employees can get to work. We have made it possible for you as Admin to easily monitor the status of the ongoing evaluation round and make changes as needed. In this article we take you through how to manage and analyze a current round.

πŸ’‘ Coaches can also view progress on tasks and results on the Review Cycle page. Here, however, they are limited to the data of their own team members. Optionally, coaches can also create review cycles. In these self created cycles, they can also make changes per employee and adjust the cycle as described further in this article.

A participation overview overall and per team

When you open the current review cycle, you immediately see in some key figures how the organization is doing. How many people have already prepared and completed their review? In the table below you can see the status at Team level. Then you can also open up the team and you will also see all the people within the team with the following data:

  • Did the employee prepare the review?

  • Did the employee receive input from colleagues or coaches?

  • If activated: has the review been digitally signed? various filters.

An overview per employee

Want more information about a particular employee within the review cycle? Then click on the employee in question. An overview of this employee opens in a pop-up. You can see here whether the employee has already prepared his review, asked peers for feedback. And whether the coach and peers have already given feedback.

In addition, you can also see in this overview whether the employee has received peer feedback requests.

In the employee overview, you can perform the following actions:

  • Deleting or adding coaches for input.

❗️Note: You can only add coaches to an employee's review if the coach is also assigned to the team as a coach.

  • Delete or add peers for input.

  • Delete or add guests.

  • Delete an employee from the review cycle:

❗️Note: This can only be done while the conversation is still unsigned. This will also delete any progress an employee has made. This cannot be undone.

Editing a review cycle

Under the 'Setup' tab in an active cycle you will also find the option to update the review cycle.

❗️Note: Once the cycle is published and active, changes in the review template, the skills and role profiles and the team layouts are no longer possible.

What you can change in an active cycle is:

  • At step 1: The name and description of the cycle.

  • At step 2: The participants: useful when, for example, a new employee joins who you want to include in a discussion round. All changes in participants are tracked in the 'Activity log' tab in the cycle.

  • At step 3: Settings. You can decide that you do not want the round to be automatically archived after 30 days. Furthermore, you can make a change in the automatic notifications and in the privacy setting.

  • At step 4: Timeline. Here you can adjust the deadlines per task. In addition, you can adjust the invitation message.

πŸ’‘ When an employee gets a different coach during a round of interviews, you can manually link the new coach to the employee via the Participation tab. To do this, click on the employee and adjust it in the employee overview as explained above.

Sharing calibrated reviews.

When the review round includes the option for calibrating scores, the initiative to do so always lies with the coaches. They can mark their completed review formt with the status 'Calibrate' to share it with the other coaches and admins. Once the reviews given are agreed upon, the coaches can share their scores with the staff. In addition, we have also made the option for sharing the scores with the staff possible for you as Admin.

When there is calibrated input, you will see a banner in the evaluation area indicating that Calibrate is activated. Next, go to the Setup tab. There you have the option to share the calibrated input with the employees.

❗️Note: When you share calibrated input, you share all calibrated input for all employees. This action cannot be undone.

Analyzing a review cycle

At the 'Results' tab you will find the average score of the organization. You will also see the 3 top teams and the 3 teams at the bottom.

In the table you can see the average scores of the company, per team and per employee on the different themes asked out. Under the 'Average' tab you will see all themes that were answered with the default rating scale. Under 'Other themes' you will see all the themes that are asked on a custom rating scale, and therefore do not contribute to the average performance score.

❗️Note: If you are working with different custom rating scales within a theme, you will not see this theme under 'Other themes.

Go to Advanced Reporting to do a deeper analysis of the assessment scale, the average performance score.
