Enhancements

Introducing "9-Box Grid and Performance Matrix"
We are excited to announce the addition of the 9-Box Grid and Performance Matrix feature in our Appraisal module of this application.


Overview:
The 9-Box Grid is a powerful tool designed to help organizations assess Employee Performance and Potential in a visually intuitive format. 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.


Key Benefits:
Enhanced Performance Evaluation: Easily visualize where each employee stands in terms of performance and potential, aiding in objective assessments.
Talent Development: Identify high performers and high-potential individuals for succession planning and targeted development opportunities.
Strategic Decision Making: Support talent review discussions with data-driven insights, enabling more strategic workforce planning.


Performance Matrix:
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.


How to Access:
This new feature can be accessed within the Appraisal module.

  • Appraisal Result - Appraisal Result: A new column labeled "Result Classification" has been introduced for each "Appraisal Type". This column displays results sourced from the "Appraisal Result Classification" screen (SmartHCM).
  • Appraisal Result - Appraisal Result: The new feature "9-Box Grid and Performance Matrix" panel/block has been added at the end of this screen. This feature provides a Graphical Representation of the Matrix based on two selected "Appraisal Types". The matrix graph includes a "Correct" icon (Right Tick) and displays "Descriptions" from the "9-Box Grid and Performance Matrix Setup" screen (SmartHCM) within the relevant matrix blocks, reflecting the employee's position based on the appraisal results.


We believe this feature will significantly enhance your Performance Management Processes, providing Clarity and Actionable Insights for your organization’s talent strategy.

Fixed Issues

  • Employee Wise Roster - Employee Wise Roster: Due to this screen, the entire application was stuck, leading to a decrease in overall performance.
  • Overtime Approval - Overtime Approval: On the screen, when utilizing the "Cumulative Overtime" checkbox, the functionality associated with the checkbox "It is allowed to approve overtime/TOIL more than the actual extra hours?" was not working properly.
  • Apply Leave - Apply Leave: When a user clicked on the "Reset" button or refreshed the screen from the navigational bar, the screen did not load properly.
  • Fund Statement - Fund Statement: 1. A "Thousand Separator" was not shown in the values of the "Outstanding Loan Amount" and "Net Fund Balance Amount" fields. 2. The "Two Digit" Decimal Places was not shown in the value of the "Net Fund Balance Amount" field.
  • List of Tickets Detail - List of Ticket Detail: The "Close Ticket" button was not clearly visible.
  • Dashboard - Dashboard: The "Absent Employees" widget increased the widget height instead of showing a scrollbar.
  • Daily Attendance - Daily Attendance: In the screen for all relevant columns, when any points value is showing, it should be displayed in the proper way, such as "0.5". Previously, the screen was showing numeric values like ".7" or ".9", which was incorrect.
