The objective-setting and appraisal capabilities of SAP HR allow measurable comparisons, support performance-based compensation, and promote personnel development that is in line with corporate objectives. Both the goals and personal contributions to attaining them are highly visible, which inspires trust in both managers and their employees. This in turn improves the performance and morale of your teams.

Objective setting:
Integration of the Balanced Scored with SAP HR greatly facilitates the objective-setting process. You can transfer departmental goals relevant to employees directly from the departmental scorecard into an individual’s objective-setting agreement.

Objective-setting agreements:
The qualitative and quantitative objectives agreed upon between employees and managers, along with appropriate dates and timelines for meeting the objectives, are easily entered into objective-setting agreements using predefined templates. The solution is flexible, allowing you to custom-design both content and templates for the objective-setting agreements. And you can create a complete catalog of templates to suit all your company’s needs.

Objectives can be entered as free-form text and notes and can be quantified. Objectives can also be complete individual development plans or single items out of an individual development plan, or training courses. You can also predefine objectives for your templates and allow managers to add or delete objectives. You can even derive objectives from an employee’s position or job requirements.

Continuous feedback:
Employee reviews during the year enable you to monitor objectives continuously. You can set dates for reviews in the system during the objective-setting phase. During the review, you can delete objectives that are no longer relevant or adjust agreed-upon objectives to meet new requirements.

Appraisals:
Appraisals from employees’ superiors, their colleagues, and other managers can be integrated into the appraisal process. Permission-based access to information ensures that employees can access only their own data and that their superiors can access appraisals of all their subordinates.
