Track Employee Metrics, Progress, and Status in NetSuite

Employees can select from a list of industry-specific performance metrics or manually set goals. SuitePeople Performance Management includes 12 predefined goal metrics and allows employees to create additional metrics by pulling data from other NetSuite applications. In addition, goal-progress metrics for a given employee are automatically updated from operational NetSuite data in real time, ensuring each goal includes accurate progress for each performance measurement.

Available goal statuses are 'Planned', 'In Progress', and 'Closed', and drag-and-drop functionality lets employees easily move goals between status phases. In addition, the status of a given goal is visually displayed in a dashboard portlet tailored to each employee.

Employee Goal Management & Reports in NetSuite

In SuitePeople, employees set goals tied to their work using performance metrics, and managers approve their direct reports' goals. Managers and employees can use threaded conversations to discuss and reflect on performance toward goals at any time. This interactive experience encourages frequent discussions about progress, promotes more timely and effective feedback, and simplifies performance review preparation. Together with their managers, employees can re-prioritize goals based on business needs to keep focused on the most critical work. In addition, since goal-related discussions and decisions are tracked, they can easily be referenced during performance reviews.

By leveraging SuiteAnalytics Workbooks alongside SuitePeople Performance Management, HR managers and NetSuite admins can access standard performance-related reports and view an individual employee's overdue reviews, rating distribution, and review history. In addition, teams can see an overview of goals across the organization, including information on overdue goals.

Manage Performance Reviews in NetSuite

With SuitePeople Performance Management, review templates define instructions, questions, and rating scales. In addition, HR leaders or admins can create performance review templates with questions tailored for different locations, jobs, subsidiaries, or departments to help evaluate employees more consistently.

For individual reviews, each employee's goals over the period are automatically pulled into their performance review. Both employees and managers can rate performance on individual goals, and these rating scales can be easily added to performance review templates.

While employees acknowledge the contents of a review at the end of the cycle, HR or designated admins can customize the acknowledgment language. HR then completes the review process by approving individual reviews.
