Online appraisals

Cognisco’s custom-built online Appraisal Solutions appraise employees’ levels of knowledge, understanding and competence in the areas important to their organisation’s overall operational performance.

Combining this with a measure of employees’ confidence enables clients to identify areas where risk and cost can be reduced and performance optimised. Ongoing appraisal then drives employees towards a benchmark standard in all required areas.

Our online appraisal Solutions can be accessed anywhere in the world; employees are given a secure login and can complete their appraisal at a time convenient to them and the business.

There’s no need for any Advanced software or hardware, just internet access.

A Cognisco Appraisal can help you to:

Improve performance - identifying gaps in employee understanding and uncovering areas of misunderstanding enables organisations to adopt a targeted approach to developing individuals to their full potential

Reduce risk - by measuring confidence as well as understanding, in critical areas such as safety standards and procedures, Cognisco Appraisals identify individuals ‘at risk’ so that corrective action can be taken

Demonstrate the quality of your staff to customers - by gaining a Cognisco Appraisal ‘score’ for individuals, teams and the business as a whole, organisations are able to demonstrate objectively the competence of its human capital

Learning and development

Once ‘Cognisco’d’, employee results can be integrated with your existing training solutions. The system makes recommendations on specific solutions to address an identified shortfall. In addition to recommending training solutions, the system also has the ability to deliver fully integrated online personalised learning.

By integrating Cognisco’s contextual rather than factual approach to learning, it saves significant training time and cost by delivering only the training that is required to fill the gaps in knowledge and understanding. With pre and post training appraisals, the system provides a unique way of measuring the return on training investment.
