Solution · Performance management
Performance management tied to real employee data
Goals, reviews, skills and learning connect to the employee record and to compensation, instead of living in separate forms.
Problems this solves
Review cycles run on forms and email
Coverage is hard to track and results are hard to compare.
Development is disconnected
Learning and skills are not linked to goals or roles.
Ratings do not reach pay decisions
Outcomes are re-typed into compensation reviews.
Who it is for
- HR business partners
- Managers running review cycles
- Employees tracking goals
What it includes
Real, shipped capabilities from the HCM modules behind this solution.
Performance Management
Performance Cycles & Goals
A real review-period master every other screen references, with weighted goals tied to it.
Performance Management
Appraisals & Self/Manager Assessment
A real two-stage rating flow — the manager's assessment shows a live variance against the employee's own self-rating, flagging where perceptions diverge.
Performance Management
360 Feedback
Multi-source feedback — self, manager, peers, direct reports, customers — with a real anonymity threshold protecting individual reviewers.
Performance Management
OKRs
A real objective/key-result tree with weighted progress roll-up and protection against circular alignment.
Performance Management
PIPs
Formal performance improvement plans with milestones and scheduled review checkpoints.
Performance Management
Continuous Feedback
Give, request, or recognize a colleague at any time — not locked to a formal review cycle.
Talent Management
Talent Profiles & High Potential
Talent category is calculated automatically from real data — High Potential Employees is a live filtered view, not a separately-maintained list.
Talent Management
Talent Pools
Both the pool itself and each membership go through real approval — not a status flag you flip.
Talent Management
Career Development & Paths
Structured career paths with ordered steps, linked to real employee/manager/career-owner records.
Modules behind this solution:Performance Management, Talent Management, Learning & Development.
Frequently asked questions
Does an OKR's progress update automatically?
Yes — an objective's progress is a real weighted roll-up of its key results, not a number you type in by hand.
Can a manager see the employee's self-rating before submitting their own?
The manager assessment stage is independent — it's rated after the self-assessment is submitted, and the platform surfaces the variance between the two rather than letting one silently anchor the other.
Is "High Potential" a manually maintained list?
No — it's a live, automatically-filtered view over Talent Profiles, whose category is calculated from real underlying data, not hand-tagged.
Why does succession planning need two approvals when other Talent screens don't?
It's the platform's judgment that a critical-role plan carries real business risk if it's wrong — the two-stage chain (Talent Manager, then Talent Administrator) is deliberately the exception, not the norm.
Is the training calendar a mock feature?
No — it's a real, genuine calendar of scheduled training events, not a placeholder.
How is Quiz different from Assessments?
Same underlying real assessment data — Quiz is that same screen filtered down to just the quiz-type assessments.
