HRSimplified ensures that performance reviews and employee assessments are documented in a compliant, fair, and transparent manner. By supporting fair employment practices, it helps organizations comply with legal requirements regarding performance management, ensuring consistency and fairness in how employees are evaluated. This guide explains how HRSimplified assists in meeting compliance with performance reviews and supports fair employment practices.

Ensuring Fair Performance Reviews #

1. Documenting Performance Reviews #

• HRSimplified automates and tracks every performance review cycle, ensuring that employee evaluations are recorded and stored securely. Each review is linked to the employee’s record, creating a complete performance history that HR teams can reference for compliance purposes.
• By maintaining a permanent record of past reviews, HRSimplified ensures that companies can demonstrate consistency and fairness in their performance management processes.

2. Customizable Review Templates #

• To meet compliance with fair employment practices, HRSimplified offers customizable performance review templates. HR teams can design reviews based on specific Key Performance Areas (KPAs), Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), and company objectives (OKRs), ensuring that the evaluation criteria are consistent across all employees in similar roles.
• This helps eliminate bias and ensures that all employees are evaluated against the same standards.

3. Automated Performance Review Schedules #

• HRSimplified automatically triggers performance reviews based on predefined cycles (e.g., annual, bi-annual, or quarterly). This ensures that reviews are conducted on time, reducing the risk of non-compliance with local labor regulations that require regular performance assessments.
