When selecting Performance as the data source and the form template to be used in calibration, the Data tab will display the available performance form elements to calibrate.
In this example, we find three available elements:
These elements are coming from an Objective/Competency Summary (Overall Goal Rating and Overall Competency Rating), and a Performance Summary (Overall Form Rating). Other elements from different type of summaries (Performance-Potential or Customized Weighted Rating) might be also supported when calibrating from Performance.
You can enter calibration guidelines for each of these elements. These guidelines are the desired distributions of the ratings. During the calibration session, the desired rating distributions are available to you in the Dashboard view, Bin view, and Executive Review view. This allows for calibration based on the distribution that you desire.
Distribution guidelines are optional, but if you choose to use them, you must set a distribution or a distribution range applied to an individual rating or a group of ratings. In a guideline, you can use more operators besides =, such as <, <=, >, >=, and is between.
If required, you can enforce distribution guidelines that need to be set before a session can be finalized.
There's no limitation that the total distribution must be 100% if any of the following conditions is met:
- More than one rating is included in a guideline.
- An operator other than = is configured in a guideline.
- A rating appears more than once in multiple guidelines.
- Not all ratings are configured in all guidelines.
An example of distribution guidelines is shown on the Procedure: To Configure the Data Tab
You can enforce distribution guidelines that need to be set before a session can be finalized.
Note
This course deals with Performance Management templates. However, there are also elements you can calibrate for SAP SuccessFactors Compensation, Employee Profile, and Talent Flags, as long as the customer has purchased and enabled them.
