Employee Evaluation Software - Grote Approach

The GroteApproach^SM system is provided as a hosted solution only and combines time-tested strategies and comprehensive features into a powerful web based, employee review software solution:

Secure, hosted online system

GroteApproach is a web-based solution accessible anywhere Internet access is available. And because GroteApproach is a hosted system, all system maintenance and upgrades are handled without burdening your organization's IT group.

Customizable library of research-based competencies

A built-in, proven competency library includes those competencies that are predictive of job success and that describe exactly what ideal performance looks like. Custom-defined competencies can be added to the library to tailor competencies to your organization's needs.

Activity status "dashboard"

The main GroteApproach screen displays the current status of all performance management activities. Managers see what they have already done and exactly what needs to be done for each employee.

E-mail notifications and reminders

Regular emails keep everyone on track throughout the year, and remove the need for constant HR oversight and the concern of steps being late or missed altogether.

Online performance notes

Managers and employees can quickly enter notes online at any time, making ongoing coaching discussions and final year-end assessments easier and more accurate. Meeting notes and other important information can also be documented easily throughout the year.

Weighting of appraisal form items

Competencies, job responsibilities and goals can be assigned weights to emphasize relative importance and rating value in the assessment process.

Flexible evaluation capability

The Slider Bar Assessment^SM tool gives appraisers a flexible evaluation mechanism that provides more precise assessments and fosters more meaningful performance discussions between managers and employees.

360-degree feedback

Employees can receive performance feedback from selected individuals in the organization including superiors, peers and subordinates.

Employee self-assessment

Individuals can assess their own performance and see their ratings in comparison to those of their supervisors.

Appraisal approval process

Completed appraisals are reviewed and approved online before releasing to employees to improve the quality and content of the feedback.

Pre-defined reports
