Blue/Appraisals Features and Benefits

Enterprise-aware architecture

Blue/Appraisals already knows who reports to whom, so that you don't have to repeat those questions to your audience.

Create the list you need by selecting from any available criteria within your existing data sources, such as department, region, position, classification, hierarchical relationships, etc.

Maximum security

Blue/Appraisals is online performance appraisals software that connects to your current authentication source, providing the highest possible security. It also eliminates having to remember or manage yet another set of usernames and passwords.

Comparative "before and after" reporting

Blue/Appraisals is web based performance appraisals software that can compare the results of your appraisals from different time periods. For example, you may wish to compare overall results following the implementation of a program. This allows you to analyze performance over time - a true strategic value.

Option to delegate reviewer selection

Blue/Appraisals provides the option to HR departments to set signing authorities on reviews themselves or to delegate this task to managers or employees.

Save and continue at another time

The "save and continue" feature allows evaluators to stop and start the appraisals at their discretion.

Automated reminders

Delinquent evaluators receive an automatic email reminding them to complete the review. Only non-responders receive a reminder. You can send as many reminders as you wish by creating a reminder schedule at the start of the project.

You can monitor the project status at anytime with key statistics on delinquent responders.

Reports on demand

Blue/Appraisals reports are available online, so that individuals view, print, and email their own reports. Individuals can view their own appraisals, as well as aggregate reports that show appraisal results by group (such as department, region, organization, etc.).

Aggregate reports provide a powerful means of assessing developmental needs at a departmental or organizational level. You can also create reports that compare results over different time periods.

You set report creation and viewing rights for individuals at the start of the project.

Lower total cost of ownership

Blue is a 100% web-based application, so you have only one machine to maintain and upgrade, not every one that uses it. No special software, tools, or plug-ins are required.

A complete analysis toolset

Once you have learned a Blue application, learning another Blue system is easy. Blue provides intelligence gathering systems for 360 reviews, surveys, tests, and evaluations - a complete intelligence gathering and analysis toolset that helps you truly know your organization.
