A performance appraisal can be a turning point in an employee's career. It can either help the employee to propel to new career heights or result in career regression of the employee. The outcome is entirely based on the employee's performance. Oftentimes, the word 'appraisal' itself can bring fear to the minds of employees. It is the responsibility of the managers and HR professionals to create a calm and comfortable environment to facilitate the appraisal so that employees can express themselves openly during the appraisal process.
With OrangeHRM, Managers and HR professionals can now help to create that calm and comfortable environment by allowing the user to personalize the header for each employee's appraisal. The user can create and store multiple headers that can be used in form design. Also, the user can select the header which they want to use when creating appraisals or appraisal cycles.
