This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17550143 titled 'EFFECTIVE PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of this patent application describes an approach for assessing the performance of employees in a more effective way. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • A processor (system) is used to assess the relevancy of goals submitted by an employee.
  • The processor categorizes the goals into predefined dimensions.
  • Feedback about the goals is received from a manager.
  • The processor determines whether the feedback can be acted upon in relation to the corresponding goal.
  • The processor evaluates the consistency of the feedback with the dimension of the goal.
  • The processor also evaluates the consistency of the feedback with the employee's position level.
  • The feedback is then converted into a rating for the dimension on a predefined scale.

Potential Applications:

  • Performance assessment and feedback system for organizations.
  • Human resources management tools for evaluating employee goals and feedback.
  • Performance evaluation software for managers and employees.

Problems Solved:

  • Inefficient performance assessment methods.
  • Lack of standardized criteria for evaluating employee goals and feedback.
  • Difficulty in determining the relevancy and consistency of feedback.

Benefits:

  • Provides a more effective and standardized approach to performance assessment.
  • Helps managers and employees in evaluating and improving goal setting.
  • Enables better alignment between employee goals and organizational objectives.
  • Facilitates fair and consistent feedback evaluation.


Original Abstract Submitted

In an approach for effective performance assessment, a processor classifies relevancy of a goal submitted by an employee. A processor classifies the goal into one of pre-defined dimensions. A processor receives feedback about the goal from a manager. A processor classifies whether the feedback is actionable with respect to the corresponding goal. A processor classifies consistency of the feedback with the corresponding dimension of the goal. A processor classifies consistency of the feedback with the corresponding position level of the employee. A processor converts the feedback along the corresponding dimension into a rating for the dimension on a pre-defined scale.
