Calibration

Helps standardize the process of all the functions undertaken in the org.

PreviousTeam Review StatusNextPerformance analysis graph

Last updated 8 months ago

Calibration is the process that helps standardize the process across all the functions taking place in the org for a consistent performance appraisal cycle. To enable a fair and consistent review, the calibration process helps identify the elements or factors causing inaccuracy or gaps in the review rating procedure.

Note: Calibration process is only enabled until the manager sign-off date.

Why is performance calibration important in a review cycle?

The calibration process is crucial for performance review journey because:

  1. Helps eliminate bias: Calibration is crucial to eliminate any bias influencing a manager's decision and review ratings.

  2. Boost credibility of the review cycle: Performance calibration ensures employees' trust in the fairness and impartiality in the review process, thereby upholding credibility of the appraisal cycle.

Calibration for Managers in the org

The process of calibration differs according to the manager's role and hierarchy in the org:

Calibration for Line Managers

Line Manager is an employee whom other employees may report directly or indirectly in an org. They are usually the higher-ranking managers in the org hierarchy who often determine the promotion trajectory for the employees. Therefore, it is crucial for a line manager to have a visibility of the entire org operations or functions, e.g. performance rating process.

Components of performance analytics

There are several elements in performance analytics accessible to the line manager:

  1. Employee Details

Calibration for Skip Manager

If the performance administrator selects the secondary sign-off settings while creating the review cycle, second-level approval or the skip manager's approval becomes mandatory in the calibration process.The primary role of a skip manager is to calibrate the ratings the manager gives. Therefore, a skip manager can:

  1. Calibration Notes

  2. Calibration Sets

  3. Manage Columns

To approve the ratings:

Step 1: Go to the Reviews section and click on the Ongoing review cycle. Select the Calibration tab in the dashboard to view the ratings. Click on the 'green tick box' option against the employee's name and rating summary to approve.

Step 2: Even after accepting the rating, you can change your response by clicking on the Undo button that pops up after submitting the response.

Reject the rating given by the manager

Step 1: Click on the 'red cross box' against the employee's name and rating summary to reject the rating given by the manager.

Step 2: Skip managers must provide an explanation for declining the manager's rating. Type your response in the Decline Rating pop-up box and click on Decline button to continue.

Skip managers can access the Rating Discussion window to calibrate an employee's rating with their direct managers.

Calibration for Manager

A manager in an org has the same view access as a performance administrator, which includes:

  1. Rating approval status

However, a manager's calibration journey in the review cycle begins with the skip manager's rating approval status:

Step 1: In the Calibration & Analytics tab, click on Rating Approval Status to view the status of ratings approved by the skip manager.

Step 2: In case a given rating is declined, click on 'dialog' icon under the Actions column to view the Rating Discussion window.

Step 3: You can read the skip manager's comments on the rating and reply with your justification for the action in the Rating Discussion window. Type your reply in the section given below in the window and click on the Send button to continue.

Step 4: To revise the given rating for an employee, click on the View Form option under the Actions column to update. Once revised, the updated rating will be notified to the skip manager for their approval.
