Rating Scale

A rating scale in appraisals is a tool used to evaluate an employee's performance, skills, or competencies against predefined standards. It provides a structured and consistent way for managers to assess performance objectively, with descriptors outlining different levels of achievement. To ensure a well-rounded evaluation, rating scales should be combined with methods like narrative comments, self-assessments, and peer feedback. Regular training for evaluators can help maintain fairness and consistency.

 

The rating scale is also referenced in the following article:

How do I Link the rating Scale to a Competency.

How does it work?

User-defined rating standards and corresponding points must be set up here to define Competency Level Standards (Personnel>>Setup>>Organisation>>Organisation Setup>>Qualification-Related Codes>>Competencies>>Competency Standards) as the Points are selected from this screen.

A maximum of 5 rating descriptions and points can be set up for each company. 

Step 1: Enter a Rating Scale

Company: Select the Company for which you are setting up the rating scale.

Rating Description and Points:  For each company, enter a maximum of five (5) rating descriptions and corresponding Points.  These should be from highest to lowest.   For consistency, there should be a default standard used to define the rating scales in all modules such as outlined below:

  1. Unsatisfactory
  2. Improvement Needed
  3. Meets Expectations
  4. Exceeds Expectations
  5. Exceptional

Save the record.
