High Quality Employee Evaluations Completed On Time

Managers start by choosing an employee and checking SonicPerform's Performance Brief. The Performance Brief is where employees enter key accomplishments and general information they want their reviewer to consider as they write the performance appraisal.

Reviewers can also take advantage of SonicPerform's unique 360 software/Multi-Rater feature to gather feedback from peers, subordinates-even the employee they are reviewing. When it's time to complete the review, your managers will have quick visual indicators that will let them know how key stakeholders evaluate the employee's performance.

It’s easy for managers to step through employee goals, enter the results and rate the goal on a hi/low scale. All the data related to the goal is just a click away in the Performance Notes and the overall completion percentage is readily available as managers rates goals. Next, managers rate employee performance as it pertains to the key competencies required for their job. Performance notes will be close at hand and provide a simple "cut and paste" method for providing performance examples to back the managers' ratings. The result is a fast, thorough, professional performance evaluation that can document performance and get employees focused.

Flexible, reusable review forms allow your organization to model competencies to job families, ensuring that each employee's review is specific to the competencies required for their job. You can use SonicPerform's built in library of competencies and customize them, or create your own. Review forms can include sections for goals and competencies, development plans, summaries, digital signatures and more. Choose numerical ratings, text ratings, both, or no ratings at all. Set relative weights for review sections, individual competencies and goals and choose whether the manager can adjust them or not. No matter what forms you use currently, chances are that SonicPerform can match them.
