What is an assessment system?
By the term "appraisal system," we mean the system by which organizations gain insight into individual employee performance as well as organizational performance and goals. An appraisal system replaces paperwork and Excel files.
Why move away from the traditional appraisal system?
More and more organizations are moving away from traditional performance appraisals and toward the new appraisal process. This means that they are looking at the performance of their employees in a different way. The employee has much more control. The employee himself is responsible for setting goals. With this new way of assessing, it is useful to switch to a digital assessment system.
What are the benefits of a digital assessment system?
By using a digital assessment system, all information is brought together in one overview. Think of all the information related to employee growth and development. For example, assessments, goals, competencies and feedback. This allows both the manager and the employee to know at any time how employees are doing and what they still need to work on. Because everything is brought together in one online platform, it immediately saves time for the HR department, managers and employees alike. With one click of a button you have the file of a particular employee at hand. So you know everything about the goals, competencies, knowledge, skills and development of this employee. Does a position become available? Then you have immediate insight into who can best fill it (internally). You can also use this information to easily put together the ideal project team. In addition, every employee and every team is different. How easy would it be to use a different assessment cycle for each employee/team? In Treams, this is no problem at all. You can read here how to vary by target group using templates. Finally, a digital assessment system delivers real-time insights about the development, performance and engagement of employees and teams. In Treams, this is done through smart dashboards at the employee, team and organizational level.
360 degree feedback as an assessment
(360-degree) feedback is often an important part of an assessment system. This involves asking for feedback from multiple people. These may be colleagues or managers, but also external people, such as customers or clients. Through 360-degree feedback, you get targeted feedback from different angles. This can be used by the employee to develop further. Managers get a more complete picture of each employee through 360-degree feedback. Asking feedback from different people ensures that the assessment is more realistic. The assessment no longer depends solely on the assessor's opinion. After all, who knows better how you are performing than the people you are currently working with?
