Even Things Out with iVantage^®

With employee reviews and 360–degree reviews, in particular, several people may evaluate an employee’s work habits, abilities, attitude, et cetera. Because people judge differently, the final results by themselves may be misleading.

It’s almost like teachers in college. Some were hard graders and some were easy. In the workplace, the same thing goes. It’s important to look at more than just the final judgments.

Our founder, Jim Spoor, has a phrase for it—competency evidence. By that he means the behind–the–scenes information. When HR personnel look at an evaluation, they need to look at who gave what judgments and under what circumstances.

Managers may end up with different results when evaluating the same employee. Also, the results of the employee’s self–evaluation may differ, as well. A worker may perform better on a proficiency in an individual effort rather than in a group effort. HR has to know what went on behind the scenes to interpret reviews properly.

With the performance management features in iVantage, you can make detailed records of every evaluation so you know everything you should. That way you can make sure you’re giving each employee a fair shake come review time.
