HR analytics with headcount, attendance rate, punctuality and an action hub of items needing attention.

Appraisal cycles

Annual, half-yearly, quarterly — cycles run independently per department or company-wide. Each cycle has its own start/end dates, review types enabled, and rating scale.

  • ● Self-review (employee fills strengths, improvements, achievements)
  • ● Peer reviews (configurable count, anonymous or attributed)
  • ● Manager review (rating + qualitative comments)
  • ● Skip-level / department-head sign-off
  • ● HR finalization → final rating locked

360-degree reviews

Subordinates review their manager. Cross-functional peer reviews. Customer/vendor reviews for client-facing roles. Aggregated into a 360 report.

  • ● Anonymous mode by default — feedback unfiltered
  • ● Configurable reviewer pools per role
  • ● Bias-detection — flag reviewers giving uniformly high or low ratings
  • ● Calibration session with side-by-side rater comparison

Goals & OKRs

Cascade goals from company → department → individual. Quarterly check-ins. Rating ties back to goal achievement.

  • ● Goal types: outcome (KPI), output (deliverable), behavior
  • ● Weight per goal (totals must = 100%)
  • ● Mid-cycle progress updates
  • ● Auto-rollup into final score

Rating scales

3-point, 5-point, 10-point, custom labels (e.g. "Exceeds expectations / Meets / Below"). Per-cycle configurable.

  • ● Rating distribution caps (e.g. max 15% top-rated per dept)
  • ● Forced-curve mode for performance bell-curves
  • ● Letter-grade overlays (A+, A, B…)
  • ● Rating history per employee — multi-year trend view

Discipline tracking

Counsel, written warning, performance improvement plan (PIP), termination — formal records with HR sign-off.

  • ● PIP templates with milestone checkpoints
  • ● Auto-escalation if N late marks / month
  • ● Linked to attendance + appraisal data

Recognition & rewards

Spot bonuses, peer kudos, monthly awards. Optional points-based system that converts to bonus payouts.
