This feature allows managers to categorize their team members into one of nine boxes based on their current performance and future potential, facilitating more informed talent management decisions.

In conjunction with the 9-Box Grid, the Performance Matrix provides a more granular view of employee performance across various competencies. It allows managers to evaluate specific skills and competencies, making it easier to align individual goals with organizational objectives.
