Determining Your Workflow

Before completing the settings on this page, it is useful to consider the following questions to help determine what configuration you will need for your review. If you are having trouble determining what’s right for your review, reach out to your Cognition Service Representative!

  1. Does the Associate need to fill out a self-evaluation?

  2. Are multiple levels of review needed either from managers in the associate’s pyramid or from special reviewer groups?

  3. Will HR need to complete a review of the supervisor’s responses?

  4. Will data from other systems or compensation data need to be included and communicated to the associate at the time of the performance meeting?

Associate Self Review

These settings determine which fields are shown and are required for the associate to fill out during their self-evaluation. If you do not need to enable the Associate Self Review, uncheck this and continue on to the next section!

Field Name

Description

Enable Associate Self Review 

When checked, the associate will be required to do a self-evaluation. Unchecking will remove the self-evaluation step.

Overall Rating 

[Hidden/Manual/Calculated]

This determines if the associate is required to give themselves an overall rating on their performance. There are 3 options for this setting:

  1. Hidden – No overall rating will show on the self-evaluation. 

  2. Manual – The associate will select a rating from a dropdown based on what they believe their overall rating should be. 

  3. Calculated – The overall rating for the self-evaluation will be automatically calculated based on the individual ratings the associate selected for their goals (this will take into account any weighting). 

Accomplishments Field 

[Hidden/Optional/Required]

Add an open text field for the associate to describe their accomplishments in their overall evaluation. If required, the associate will not be able to submit without filling this field out.

Opportunities Field

[Hidden/Optional/Required]

Add an open text field for the associate to describe their opportunities in their overall evaluation. If required, the associate will not be able to submit without filling this field out.

Focus Next Year Field
