Calibration - HR Supporting Managers
INTRODUCTION
Calibration is a performance-related process that helps ensure that individuals’ contributions are rated in a fair and comparative fashion and differentiates performance across the entire organization. Calibration occurs as part of the year-end performance campaign.
WHO IS INCLUDED IN THE CALIBRATION PROCESS?
- Best Practice: All employees who use the performance tool should have a year-end performance rating.
- Entity calibration sessions created for Entity Leaders and SBPs are limited to the Entity's Cadre population.
- Calibration sessions created by managers will include both Cadre and Non-Cadre (white collar only) employees in their scope. Managers can filter their view to include Cadre only.
- S12, S13, and S14 are considered Non-Cadre.
- Local calibration practices for Non-Cadre may vary.
- Terminated Employees: If an employee terminates their employment with Syensqo, either voluntarily or involuntarily, after the year-end assessment form is created, they will be included in the calibration process and distribution of ratings. The manager should ensure that any rating given to a terminated employee is fair and accurate and reflects the true nature of the individual's contribution during the appraisal year.
- Employees on Leave: If an employee is absent on leave for a portion of the year, their performance for time worked should be reflected in the rating and the individual will be included in the calibration process. Employees who were inactive for the entire performance year will not have a rating and are not included in the calibration process.
