A method of rating employee performance includes: a) receiving a list of
nominated raters from the employee, including at least one manager of the
employee, a plurality of the employee's peers, and a plurality of the
employee's direct reports; b) electronically soliciting and receiving
manager approval of the list of nominated raters; c) electronically
notifying the approved raters with instructions for rating the employee;
and d) receiving employee ratings data from the approved raters, wherein
the steps of electronically soliciting and electronically notifying are
automated. The process also includes training all users of the system in a
manner in which the ratings are calibrated by comparing case studies to
specific behavioral examples to provide immediate feedback to the user in
a training process which is fully automated.
