Calibrating ratings: Why you'd do it and how Appraisd can help
Part of our Appraisd Expert series
Many companies that require employees to be given an overall rating as part of the Year End Review process also choose to have those ratings calibrated.
The process of calibrating the scores that managers give their teams can be a useful way of ensuring that there is a consistency of approach. Ratings can be an emotive subject, particularly when they form the basis of pay awards and bonuses so providing a level of reassurance to employees that the process is fair is important.
In this inaugural Appraisd Experts webinar, we run through three ways in which the calibration process can be managed in Appraisd.
- The first of these requires the department head or sign-off to provide the final rating for the employee.
- In the second method, HR can adjust the individual ratings provided by managers – maybe following an offline calibration process.
- The final method sees managers provide an indicative rating, these are exported then the final calibrated ratings are imported into the Year End Reviews.
