TotalPerformance™ Performance Appraisals Datasheet

Whether you want to automate your existing performance appraisal process or give it a complete overhaul, TotalPerformance's comprehensive Performance Appraisal module provides time savings and total flexibility to deliver the data and performance improvements you demand. Custom-configurable workflows and templates meet the needs of each employee group, and our easy-to-use employee communication tools help ensure compliance.

Your performance appraisals are delivered via our Visual Profiler™ rating interface – a time-saving, easy, intuitive rating tool. Visual Profiler's ratings continuum and comparative format more accurately reflect the way people appraise others  resulting in significant increases in employee participation. Visual Profiler™ can be used to assess one employee on multiple competencies, or managers can save time by rating multiple employees at once against each competency.

Flexible formats

Many customers also choose to include other TotalPerformance rating formats along with Visual Profiler, such as Likert scales. Regardless of the format, raters can leave detailed comments, with full support from the Comment Assistant, spell check, and Legal Minder™ language scanner. Comments in the ongoing performance log can be copied directly into the performance appraisal, and edited if required.

Flexible workflows

TotalPerformance's custom-configurable templates and flexible workflows allow SumTotal to wrap its powerful technology around your organization's unique Employee Performance Management (EPM) process. With our highly configurable system, you can create just the right process for each business unit or employee grouping or, you can standardize all employees on one, customized process. Either way, you'll never be forced to change your processes to match our software.
