Do you struggle making appraisal happen in your organisation? Do you have any idea which staff are competent? More importantly do you know which staff are not competent and what their training needs?
If you are answering Yes, you’re not alone.
Most systems make their predefined appraisal process the only way to manage this. They tell you how it has to be done. They are complicated for your managers and staff to use and have limited reporting abilities.
Imagine… if you had a system that lent itself to the annual appraisal cycle, allowing input at various stages throughout the year, leading to a simple ‘end of year’ sign off.
Imagine… if you had a system that could adopt your local paperwork with the types of responses you require.
Imagine… if you had a system that could incorporate corporate objectives, personal objectives, competences, required learning and more.
Imagine… if you had a system that could record multiple responses from the appraisee, their appraiser and the department manager and more.
Imagine… if you could build in pay progression markers.
Imagine… if you could report on all of this.
You don’t have to imagine, it’s already available.

Totara can take your paperwork, and translate it into an automatic electronic process.
Simply.
Competences
It’s easy to build multiple competence frameworks, and push these automatically out to staff and their managers. You can even link courses to aid career progression.
Team Management
Your managers need to monitor progress and compliance on an ongoing basis. The reporting process can be hugely time consuming, especially if various managers across your organisation are all interested in measuring slightly different statistics.
With the core dashboard functionality in Totara LMS, we can simplify this by building custom live dashboards, which can be shared with appropriate managers across your organisation so they can easily view up-to-date compliance reports.
Dashboards also contain tasks and alerts that managers can act on, and it’s all only one click from the login page.

Flexibility is key and Totara has that key. Use the powerful report builder to design and push bespoke reports out to your users, at all levels. Add custom filters and columns.
You can also create aggregated reports with percentages and graphs.
You can add compliance graphs to any user’s homepage making it simple for users to view exactly where they are up to at that point in time.
