Expand All

What is performance evaluation, and how does ZenHR streamline it?

Performance evaluation is a continuous cycle of setting goals, reviewing progress, and giving feedback—not a one-time event. ZenHR automates this end-to-end process and keeps employees aligned with monthly, quarterly, and yearly goals. 

How to evaluate employee performance with ZenHR (step by step)?

Set goals/KPIs for each role → track progress during the cycle → collect manager/employee feedback → finalize ratings with an audit trail. ZenHR’s module is built to automate these stages so HR departments can focus on quality feedback instead of manual admin.

Can we link goals (OKRs/KPIs) to appraisals?

Yes. ZenHR’s guidance and resources emphasize setting clear goals and tying reviews to measurable outcomes, which improves fairness and clarity in employee evaluations.

What reporting do managers and HR get from the module?

You can use dashboards and reports to spot trends, inform promotions or training plans, and close skill gaps—helping HR departments make data-driven decisions from each performance evaluation cycle.

Is ZenHR suitable for teams in Saudi Arabia?

Yes—ZenHR serves companies across MENA, including Saudi Arabia. The performance evaluation module sits within ZenHR’s HRMS, so it works alongside local HR workflows already handled in other ZenHR modules (attendance, payroll, etc.).

How does the module reduce review time for HR departments?

By automating reminders, consolidating inputs (manager + employee notes), and aligning reviews with scheduled cycles, ZenHR removes much of the manual work and helps maintain consistency across teams and periods.
