Performance Management Moderation: Getting Started

What is Performance Management Moderation?

The Performance Management Moderation process reviews the spread of performance ratings on individuals or groups of employees and looks for apparent abnormalities or inconsistencies in weights, scores and ratings. When abnormalities are identified, a justification for such ratings should be found or an adjustment can be made. Managers, directors and moderating committees are normally the role players that can engage in the moderating process to ensure that consistency of standards is maintained.

The purpose of PM Moderation is to ensure that:

  • there is a consistent way of evaluating performance by supervisors;
  • everybody understands the standards required at each level of the rating scale;
  • the integrity of the PM process is protected.

The PM Moderation module can only be accessed by System Administrators.
