Smarter, streamlined staff appraisal workflows
Our Appraisal Module transforms traditional performance reviews into a guided, interactive workflow that engages employees and managers. Each step drives meaningful conversations and measurable outcomes.
Employees complete a structured appraisal process — responding to tailored questions, completing forms, uploading evidence, and conducting self-assessments against performance standards. They update their SMART goals & objectives, in alignment with organisational priorities.
Managers review employee inputs, assess performance, and prepare for a focused appraisal meeting. During this meeting, parties collaborate to discuss progress, identify achievements & pinpoint growth opportunities.
Following the review, managers can assign performance development plans and track ongoing improvement — all within one seamless platform.
Deliver managed appraisal workflows
The PowerHouse software provides the automation tools to deliver managed staff appraisal workflows with scheduled start dates and customised time periods to complete the appraisal process.
With automated reminders, clear workflows, and integrated evidence capture, our software makes performance management transparent, efficient, and outcome-driven.
Employees and Managers receive automated email reminders and reports to help guide the timely completion of the appraisal workflow.
