Traditional approaches to performance management tend to be rigid processes which are subjective in nature and most often revolve around annual assessments with a lack of focus or development tracking or activities in between events. Processes are often time consuming, manual, based around enumeration and thus lack staff buy-in.
A Totara Perform based approach frees you from rigid processes and empowers your organisation to encompass the full spectrum of performance management practices – from the single annual appraisal to regular performance check-ins and reviews – to meet your specific needs.
Goals
Competencies allow you to map skills to people, and then map competencies to various forms of achievement, including courses, other competencies and manual ratings (when a user or manager rates a competency level). By setting up achievement paths you can decide how competencies are achieved.
Building new competencies involves creating or editing a competency framework for your competency to sit in, then creating competency scales and competency types to use with your competency item.
Once you have created one or more competencies in Totara Perform you can then use competency assignments to assign these to individual users or to groups of users via audiences and positions.
Frameworks
Performance activities are very flexible to suit your needs. These activities are how you carry out various performance tasks including appraisals, check-ins and other feedback.
You can pull in content from other parts of the site, such as goals, competencies, evidence and learning – to get a thorough review of your people and what support they might need to achieve their full potential.
