When incentive decisions are based on impression rather than data, fairness is hard to achieve and performance is harder to improve. This update changes that.

👥 HR Module | Worker Performance Evaluation Policy

Evaluating workers relied on supervisors' personal judgment — no unified criteria, no numbers to compare. The result: incentive and promotion decisions that lacked objectivity.

That changes now.

You can now create custom evaluation policies for your workers, defining the criteria, weightings, evaluation period, and scoring ranges that fit your facility. The system automatically calculates each worker's score based on their actual performance — and those scores feed directly into compensation and incentive decisions.

How It Works?

a. Employees Evaluation Policy:

1. Create a Policy and Set the Evaluation Period

Create an evaluation policy and define its timeframe: daily, weekly, or monthly. Once the period settings are saved, they cannot be changed. If you need to adjust the period, create a new policy.

2. Customize KPIs and Their Weightings

The system includes four main performance categories:

• Efficiency: How effectively the worker uses their time and resources to complete tasks.
• Quality: Product quality levels and adherence to inspection standards.
• Development: The variety and complexity of operations the worker can handle.
• Discipline: Attendance rate and amount of wasted time.

You assign a weight to each category. Total weightings must always equal 100%.

3. Set Ranges and Points

Each KPI has ranges with a minimum and maximum value, and each range is assigned a point value. The system provides default values that can be freely adjusted.

4. Calculate Scores and Read Results

Once settings are configured, go to the Evaluation Period page and click "Start Calculation." The system calculates each worker's score automatically. Each period appears in one of three states:

• Completed: The period has ended and all scores have been calculated.
• Active: The period is ongoing — scores update continuously as new data comes in.
• Recalculating: Triggered automatically when a change affects past performance data.

5. Performance Report and Individual Scorecards

The report displays three charts: average score comparison between the line and the full factory, average scores per performance category, and individual KPI scores per worker. Each worker also has a detailed scorecard showing their points across every indicator.

📌 Example: A worker with 97% labor efficiency (9 pts), 83% operational efficiency (7 pts), and 3% wasted time (8 pts), at weightings of 60%, 30%, and 10% respectively — overall score: 7.7 out of 10.

📖 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

1. Can I create more than one evaluation policy?
   Yes. You can create multiple policies with different criteria to suit different departments or worker categories.
2. Is the evaluation policy can be edited at any time after it is saved?
   Yes. The evaluation policy can be edited at any time after it is saved. After making your changes, go to the Performance Periods page and click the Recalculate button. The system will recalculate all KPIs for that period based on the updates you made to the policy.
3. How do these scores affect incentives?
   The calculated scores provide an objective basis for compensation and incentive decisions, replacing reliance on personal judgment.
4. Can I compare performance between a production line and all factory?
   Yes. The report lets you adjust the displayed scope to compare individual line against the factory's overall performance.
5. Do scores update automatically during an active evaluation period?
   Yes. As long as the period is active, scores update continuously based on incoming performance data.
