What's new in PlanMill Release 12.9   


(Released December 20, 2010) PlanMill Release 12.9 offers new add-ons and several key features and enhancements, as well as addressing known and fixed issues. PlanMill 12.9 Release Notes  

1. PlanMill add-ons 
 

1.1    PlanMill Appraisals   
 

PlanMill Appraisals enables you to conduct a performance appraisal with the employee and management to obtain a review and (career) development discussion as part of the HRM process. Integrated with other PlanMill HRM modules and data, there's no need to store information about people and organizational structure to different systems -- the same tool is used for operative work, management, and HR processes. View demo  

This add-on is suitable for different company sizes--either for a small or growing company (when it's not possible to invest in many systems) or a bigger one (if you're tired of hundreds of Excel sheets for the performance data each year). PlanMill Appraisals is integrated to PlanMill Business Application Suite (BAS) -- PlanMill PROJECT, PSA and ERP.

Key highlights

  • Setting goals for each level of the organization. 
  • Well-defined process for planning individual employees goals and reviewing past performance. 
  • Documenting the appraisal discussion with predefined topics for the appraisal period (defined by HR). 
  • Collecting comments from employer and employee and finalizing the review. 
  • Appraisal form may include attachments, visible only to predefined users.
