FAQs
Have questions about PerformSpark? Here are some of the most common queries to help you get started.
Bring ratings into alignment with 9-box views, distribution insights, and documented calibration decisions.
Performance calibration software helps standardize how employee ratings are reviewed across managers and teams, reducing inconsistency in the review process. Instead of each manager rating in isolation, it supports shared criteria, 9-box grids, rating distributions, and structured calibration discussions before results are finalized.
Performance calibration software can support more consistent reviews by displaying manager ratings side by side, surfacing statistical outliers, and documenting the evidence discussed during calibration. These signals guide human review and do not prove that a rating is biased.
A 9-box grid maps employees across two axes: performance and potential, placing each person into one of nine categories. Managers use it during calibration sessions to align on talent placement, identify high-potential employees, and flag underperformance before compensation or promotion decisions are finalized across the organization.
Calibration sessions should run after individual reviews are submitted but before results are shared with employees. Most companies run them quarterly or biannually, aligned to compensation cycles. Running calibration before communicating results ensures every employee receives a rating reviewed for fairness across all managers and departments.
Rating normalization is a structured review method for comparing how managers apply rating scales. Software can organize the data and support discussion, but HR and calibration participants decide whether any adjustment is appropriate.
Performance calibration software helps HR compare rating distributions across managers and teams before results are finalized. It can surface outliers, provide 9-box and distribution views, and document discussion outcomes, while final decisions remain with authorized reviewers.
PerformSpark replaces spreadsheet calibration with a live workflow where managers see all ratings in one view, flag concerns, and resolve discrepancies in real time. Spreadsheets require manual consolidation, have no audit trail, and make it impossible to track changes made during calibration sessions.
PerformSpark links calibrated ratings directly to compensation planning so scores agreed in calibration flow through to salary and bonus decisions without manual reentry. This closes the gap between what is decided in a calibration session and what employees actually receive at the end of the cycle.
Normalize ratings and make fair talent decisions with confidence.
