Calibration within the Performance Review

  • Based on a rating scale in the overall section of a Performance Review.

  • Plot workers according to Manager’s overall rating from the Performance Review.

  • Can be used in conjunction with Performance Reviews, or independent of them.

  • An administrator can manage Calibration by tracking which supervisory organizations have completed their step.

  • Can manually ad hoc add or remove workers, move from one Manager to another, or reassign.

  • Facilitators can view status, or act on behalf of the Calibrator to manage the Calibration session.
