Language Checker

Evaluators use the Language Checker tool during the evaluation process to identify words or phrases in a performance document that an organization deems objectionable and to view suggested alternatives. EmpowHR checks all Comments text boxes for inappropriate content.

The user can manually define content for the Language Checker tool or can import data from a third-party vendor.

Note: To enable the Language Checker tool, select the Language Checker check box on the Template Definition page - General tab.

Results Writer

Evaluators use the Results Writer tool to select predefined statements that describe an employee’s level of proficiency in a particular competency or subcompetency. Managers can use this tool by clicking a Writing Tool link that appears in the comments box at the item or section level on the evaluation.

For example: Bob’s initiative is very impressive. He does not wait to be told what to do. His energy sets an example for the rest of the team.

When the user defines competencies and subcompetencies, the user can use the Results Writer page of the Competency and SubCompetency components to enter the statement from which managers can select when using the writing tools. This information can be imported from third-party suppliers.

Development Tips

Development tips suggest ways for employees to improve, develop, or use a competency or subcompetency based on their current rating level. ePerformance displays the appropriate set of tips when the Writing tools link is selected on the evaluation.
