Intelligent Appraisals
No two people are the same – therefore the Appraisals dialogue should not be either!
Welcome to IPA Nordic’s universe for conducting company performance reviews. The concept has been developed as a digital support and facilitation of the Appraisals.
The appraisal is first and foremost a dialogue between manager and employee, and the conversation should therefore be dominated by appreciative questions and a focus on tasks that have been successfully completed. The appraisal focuses on what works. The appraisal should also be seen in the context of the company’s strategy and objectives, and managers conducting appraisal interviews should therefore include these strategic objectives in the appraisal interview.
Appraisals should be big data
Appraisals should be followed by an evaluation of the impact of the talks and agreements on the whole company.
Finally, the Appraisals conversations provide important data, such as employee satisfaction and other “Big Data”, which should be used as a basis for analysis and actions of strategic importance to the company. All of this is built into the Intelligent Appraisals concept developed by IPA Nordic.
The 6 modules of the IPA Intelligent Appraisals :
Module 1 – Strengths & Talents
Based on the completed IPA Core analysis, the system suggests a number of topics and formulates a number of questions the manager can use to keep the focus on developing with the employee’s Strengths and Talents.
Module 2 – Employee satisfaction analysis
The employee answers a series of questions related to job satisfaction.
Module 3 – Fattening
The employee answers a series of questions related to mastering the job.
Modul 4 – Autonomy
The employee answers a series of questions related to autonomy in the job.
Module 5 – Belonging
Medarbejderen svarer på en række spørgsmål, der vedrører tilhør i jobbet.
Modul 6 – Meaning
The employee answers a series of questions related to belonging in the job.
Examples of IPA Intelligent Appraisals
The example is from the Employee Satisfaction Survey, where the employee has answered 12 questions and given a score from 1-5. The Intelligent Appraisals pairs the questions with the main themes and the manager can comment / note in the dialogue box.
The example is from Relationship & Cooperation, where the employee has rated 4 areas with a grade of 1-5, as well as the possibility to write a comment.
Bemærk, at lederen får en række spørgsmål til rådighed, som han med fordel kan stille for at skabe en stærk udviklingsdialog.
The example is from Intelligent Appraisals – Scorecard.
All data is collected at departmental and company level.

Intelligent Appraisals
Today, in many companies, Appraisals have become an empty ritual and a painful dance without feeling, leadership and direction. We celebrate each other’s diversity by leading everyone through a rigorous Scheme.
Strategic HR rethinks the conversation as a strategic development tool for the benefit of the company, but certainly also for the individual employee. Through job satisfaction, we want to revitalize and integrate the appraisals into the company’s strategic development work.
