Problem Statement and Business Needs

The organization comprised mostly employees with research and analysis as being their core profile. Leadership team wanted a more flexible and intuitive online 360 degree appraisal system, allowing employees to get more effective feedback. The organization was appraising employees based on their personality attributes but felt that behavioral competency based solution would be more appropriate for individual contributors.

Further, the prior year ratings (as averages) were also to be displayed to the appraisers when they were rating the employees to help them understand the improvements in the employees. The process needed full anonymity such that the employees would not be able to identify the ratees and there were requirements for complex reports to share the feedback with employees.
