Frequently asked questions
More about the Reviews & Appraisals module
Can different processes be created depending on the type of review?
Yes. You customise the steps and assign the roles of your choice, to one or more people per step: review with the manager, input from the HR manager, final approval. Each type of review can follow its own path.
How do you identify the employees due for a career path review?
From the reviews by date dashboard, filter on the career path review to spot the people whose deadline is approaching. The five standard templates provided cover the complete career path, from the first review to the summary assessment.
Can reviews be signed electronically?
Yes. Once the PDFs have been generated in bulk from the campaign, reviews go out for electronic signature to the employee through your external provider. The final approval step locks the answers and shows the approval record on screen as in the document.
Is 360 feedback supported, and who requests the respondents?
Employees themselves request the people whose views they want to gather, without going through the HR team. Each answer stays linked to its author’s role, so you can compare points of view without mixing them up.
Can reviews be used to capture training needs?
Yes. A standard question, “Define training needs”, lets the employee and the manager enter needs, from the catalogue or as free text. This information feeds directly into the skills development plan, if you have the Training module.
What indicators are available for reviews?
Nicoka HRIS shows the progress of each campaign and the number of completed reviews. Since tracking indicators are specific to each company, you build your own with the built-in reporting tool.
In what format is the review archived?
It remains available online from the employee access. You can also generate the PDFs, in bulk from the participants tab, with automatic saving to the employee file.
