Abstract

A system, method and computer program product are provided for performance management. A member within an entity is selected and a performance assessment of the member is conducted. The information collected from the performance assessment is stored in a database. A self-assessment by the member is conducted and the information from the self-assessment is also stored in the database. An appraisal of the member is conducted using the data from both the performance assessment and the self-assessment and the information obtained from the appraisal is stored.

Claims (45)

1. A method comprising:

selecting, by a computer-based system for performance assessment, a member of an entity;

importing, by the computer-based system and from an external database, performance data for the member;

importing, by the computer-based system, journal data for the member;

facilitating, by the computer-based system, an appraisal of the performance data for the member and the journal data for the member;

receiving, by the computer-based system, periodic performance feedback data for the member in response to the facilitating;

storing, by the computer-based system, the periodic performance feedback data for the member;

receiving, by the computer-based system, a mid-year self-assessment completed by the member in response to an assessment by the member of the periodic performance feedback data; and

receiving, by the computer-based system, a mid-year appraisal of the member in response to an appraisal of the mid-year self-assessment and the member's performance.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising generating, by the computer-based system, a report.

3. The method according to claim 2 , further comprising receiving, by the computer-based system, an acknowledgement that the report was received.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the acknowledgement comprises a questionnaire.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, by the computer-based system, competency feedback for the member, wherein the competency feedback is at least one of: selected from a standard set of comments and customized to address specific behaviors of the member.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising generating, by the computer-based system, a preview of the periodic performance feedback data.

7. A system, comprising:

a processor for performance management;

a tangible, non-transitory memory configured to communicate with the processor,

the tangible, non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

selecting, by the processor, a member of an entity;

importing, by the processor and from an external database, performance data for the member;

importing, by the processor, journal data for the member;

facilitating, by the processor, an appraisal of the performance data for the member and the journal data for the member;

receiving, by the processor, periodic performance feedback data for the member in response to the facilitating;

storing, by the processor, the periodic performance feedback data for the member;

receiving, by the processor, a mid-year self-assessment completed by the member in response to an assessment by the member of the periodic performance feedback data; and

receiving, by the processor, a mid-year appraisal of the member in response to an appraisal of the mid-year self-assessment and the member's performance.

8. The system according to claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to generate a report.

9. The system according to claim 8 , further comprising receiving, by the processor, an acknowledgement that the report was received.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the acknowledgement comprises a questionnaire.

11. The system of claim 7 , further comprising receiving, by the processor, competency feedback for the member, wherein the competency feedback is at least one of: selected from a standard set of comments and customized to address specific behaviors of the member.

12. The system of claim 7 , further comprising generating, by the computer-based system, a preview of the periodic performance feedback data.

13. An article of manufacture including a non-transitory, tangible computer readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by a computer-based system for performance management, cause the computer-based system to perform operations comprising:

selecting, by the computer-based system, a member of an entity;

importing, by the computer-based system and from an external database, performance data for the member;

importing, by the computer-based system, journal data for the member;

facilitating, by the computer-based system, an appraisal of the performance data for the member and the journal data for the member;

receiving, by the computer-based system, periodic performance feedback data for the member in response to the facilitating;

storing, by the computer-based system, the periodic performance feedback data for the member;

receiving, by the computer-based system, a mid-year self-assessment completed by the member in response to an assessment by the member of the periodic performance feedback data; and

receiving, by the computer-based system, a mid-year appraisal of the member in response to an appraisal of the mid-year self-assessment and the member's performance.

14. The article according to claim 13 , further comprising generating, by the computer-based system, a report.

15. The article according to claim 14 , further comprising receiving, by the computer-based system, an acknowledgement that the report was received.

16. The article of claim 15 , wherein the acknowledgement comprises a questionnaire.

17. The article of claim 13 , further comprising receiving, by the computer-based system, competency feedback for the member, wherein the competency feedback is at least one of: selected from a standard set of comments and customized to address specific behaviors of the member.

18. The article of claim 13 , further comprising generating, by the computer-based system, a preview of the periodic performance feedback data.
