There will be an important release made into your Subscribe-HR system on Wednesday, July the 10th, 2019. This new release relates to the Performance Management solution. The Performance Management release has been developed to allow Subscribe-HR customers, to have multiple options / methods for managing performance reviews. These options include: Catch-up and Check-in, Weekly Reviews, Fortnight Reviews, Monthly, Quarterly, Half Yearly, Annual etc. It's really up to you. You can also define who participates: Employee Only, Manager Only, Employee - Manager, External (non-user), Peer - 360 and so on. With our configurable workflows, you can define your review cycle, trigger it and then sit back while Subscribe-HR takes care of the rest. Please note that the next release will be based around making significant changes to the Dashboard in Subscribe-HR. Please see below, the specific release details. We have included links to videos and wiki information. We have also put together an FAQ document which we are happy to provide you with.
Configurable Performance Workflow:
Configurable Performance Workflows. What this video to learn more: Click Here . Refer to the wiki also: Click Here. Click on the Performance Solution option to access this Sub-Folder.
For defining your review processes. You can have as many Performance Workflows as you like. These can then be linked to Departments, Groups and or Employees. You can have individual reviews per person if you choose this.
- Delayed Start: This applies to any step in the Performance Workflow including check-in (pulse survey) and PDP. If you don’t want to start the step straight away, you can delay the next step. E.g. Wait 2 months before the next step. This is note date driven because when you deploy a performance workflow and you want it to flow smoothly. If its date driven you would need to update the dates all the time. You set these workflows up and let them run.
- Name: Self explanatory. Type in the name of step.
- Step Type: There are 4 Different type. They are Define, PDP, Review, Check-in. PDP allows you to create Plans / Actions against goals. Goals are defined against the Employee either through a Performance Review or the relevant Dashboard Widget. What ever Goals the Employee has at the time of the review, will be brought into the definition or PDP steps. User will then be able to adjust those goals in the PDP step in the review. If your intervention in the PDP us training you can then create a Training Records directly from the PDP. This will create a record against the Employees – Training Sub-Folder.
- Assign To: We don’t allow peers to define skills, goals, behaviours or values. It’s not practical to do this. A step can be assigned to Employee, Manager or Peer. With exception of definition step. It can only be assigned to Employee or Manager. For step type “Review” permission area will be displayed in the workflow wizard where individual review permissions can be define. This includes what the manager employee or peer can see on their review. Peers can be anonymous.
- Define Templates: When you select step type “Define”, you will be able to select templates that Employee or Manager will use to define Skills, Goals and Behaviours. Templates can be configured using the Subscribe-HR Development Tool. If the step type is “PDP” you will also be able to specify templates to use to create goals and action / Development Plans. Click Here to learn about creating Templates.
- E-mail Rules: E-mail allow you to trigger e-mails based on certain actions in the performance workflow. For example – you may want to trigger an e-mail when a step becomes available to the person involved, letting them know that they can go in and do their performance review. Most of these workflows are already set-up. We are also able to create custom e-mails if needed.
- Catch-up Step: You can attach a performance canvas to a step in the review. So you can have multiple canvases in the same performance review. Defines the period-of-time a person has to complete this step.
