If your organization utilizes ratings within reviews and has the Overall Score setting toggled on, the Overall Score view is available within the Performance Review application. The Overall Score setting must be toggled on by a member of the WorkDove team, please contact us if you would like to learn more about turning this on and configuring your set-up!
The Overall Score feature, once configured, provides a comprehensive score for each performance review based on the individual's placement on the Performance Values Matrix. After the setting is enabled, you can access the overall score configuration via the settings wheel within the Performance Review application. From here, you can adjust the overall score numbers associated with each box of the PVM.
Understanding Overall Score Configuration
The Overall Score is determined by the employee's position in the Performance Values Matrix and the corresponding value assigned to that position. This approach can mitigate the influence of rater bias, as all data points within a specific box are assigned the same score.
Recommended Configurations
General Overall Score - Performance-Values Matrix
Overall Score when managers tend to inflate ratings - Performance-Values Matrix
The Overall Score is also included on the review record and is included in the export view of the Performance Review data.
Note: Some clients choose to export this data as they discuss compensation adjustments following a review cycle.
Examples
Here is an example of how the Overall Score applies to scored reviews.
Score may be rounded up based on the matrix placement.
Employee 1 (blue dot)
Y-Axis Manager Score = 2.67
X-Axis Manager Score = 3.5
Overall Score = 2
 | Employee 2 (green dot)
Y-Axis Manager Score = 3.5
X-Axis Manager Score = 3.75
Overall Score = 3
 | Employee 3 (red dot)
Y-Axis Manager Score = 4
X-Axis Manager Score = 4
Overall Score = 5
Note: When scores fall on quadrant lines like in this example, the system rounds up to the higher overall score |
Overall Score Report View
To access an overview of the Overall Score report navigate to Apps > Performance Reviews. From there, select the Overall Score view.
Managers will see the Overall Score Report for their team. While Super Users and Admins have the option to toggle between the report for their Team or Company.
This view offers a breakdown of Overall Scores for Performance Reviews on the Y-Axis, with the X-Axis representing the percentage of reviews.
The "Not Scored" column on the report denotes the number and percentage of records that have not yet received a score. It's common to have records in this category as your team progresses through the review process.
