When the HR Professional publishes a Performance Management Plan (PMP), managers and workers who belong to the plan each receive the View and Track Objective Progress task. The task appears in the Performance Management Task List at the start of the performance-management period and is enabled throughout.
Workers can complete the following fields for each objective:
Complete (%)
Achievement Date
Actual
This field applies to objectives with quantitative measurement styles (those with target values) only.
Workers can add comments about their objective achievement.
Managers can view a worker's reported progress using View and Track Objective Progress from the Performance Management Task List. They can also:
Update a worker's progress.
For objectives with the qualitative measurement style and against which the worker has recorded an achievement date, select the Verified option. This option indicates that the manager has confirmed that the objective is complete. Managers can view the comments provided by workers and make changes as required.
See: Measuring Objectives
Workers and managers can update progress as often as required throughout the performance-management period. Enterprises can require workers to update progress at regular intervals (for example, monthly) to maintain focus on objectives.
If the application creates appraisals automatically from the PMP, achievement dates recorded during the objective-tracking process appear automatically in the Objectives section of the appraisal.
Managers and workers can view the alignment of their objectives with reference to other objectives in a hierarchy using the Employee Self-Service responsibility. On the Track Objectives Progress page, workers can click the Line of Sight icon for their objectives to view the alignment of their objectives (either by cascading or aligning) in their enterprise.
You cannot view the alignment of an objective if the objective is not cascaded. or aligned. The Line of Sight icon for that objective is grayed out.
