EMPRESS HR · Performance appraisal (KRA)
Performance Appraisal Software in Bangladesh
EMPRESS HR is performance appraisal software made in Dhaka by Azolution Software & Engineers Ltd. Appraisal is based on KRAs (key result areas): each employee prepares their KRAs, reviews them at mid-year and is assessed at the end, and each step is locked and approved through your workflow.
What a KRA is in EMPRESS HR
A KRA is what an employee is expected to deliver in the appraisal period. EMPRESS HR splits KRAs into three segments:
- Area. The part of the work the employee is responsible for.
- Task. What the employee will do in that area.
- Competency. The skills and behaviour the work needs.
Preparation and self-assessment
Employees prepare and submit their own KRAs through self-service. The preparation can then be frozen, or sent back to redo. Email tells the employee when their KRA preparation is submitted, frozen or returned.
Mid-year review
Halfway through the period, the KRAs are reviewed. Targets that no longer fit can be discussed while there is still time to act, not at year end.
Locking, assessment and closure
- Lock preparation. After the preparation window, KRAs are locked, so they cannot change during the year.
- Lock review. The mid-year review is locked in the same way.
- Assessment. At the end of the period each employee is assessed against their KRAs.
- Closure with approval. The appraisal is closed through the approval workflow you define.
Part of one HR system
The employee record already holds training history, rewards and achievements, disciplinary actions and payroll history. Appraisal runs in the same system, so the full picture is in one place. See the whole system on the HR software page, and how people are hired in recruitment management.
