Staff appraisal cycles with HR records

Cycles aligned to school year

Appraisals tied to calendar - probation mid-year, annual review in June - keep goals relevant to terms taught. HR opens cycle; managers receive roster of direct reports automatically from org chart.

Form templates by role

Teachers include classroom observation rubrics; admin staff emphasize project outcomes. Self-assessment, manager assessment, and optional peer input stages configurable. Numeric ratings and narrative sections coexist.

Leadership review queue

Principal sees pending completions by department before deadline. Escalation when manager delinquent - appraisal season should not slip because HOD traveled.

Link to professional development

Development goals tagged for training budget tracking. Export summary for accreditation staff qualification evidence without exposing full salary data.

Confidentiality controls

Appraisal content visible to employee, line manager, HR, and designated leadership - not general staff directory. Export restricted roles prevent bulk download misuse.

Probation and contract renewal

Shorter probation template with binary recommend/extend decision. Contract renewal committee views aggregated ratings without individual comment leaks against policy.

Implementation tip

Pilot with admin staff cycle before rolling to full teaching body. Import last cycle PDFs as attachments if historical continuity required for disputes.
