A policy option enables you to hide all assessor names - including your manager's - in competency assessment results. If this option is selected in your Sage People implementation, the results of each assessment are identified to you only by the differently colored bars. Your manager sees the assessor names when they view your competency assessment results.
Alternatively, the system gives anonymity to assessors by hiding the identity of all assessors (other than self and manager). To give this protection the completion process ensures that there are no fewer than three assessors in any one assessor group (other than self and manager). If there are less than three completed assessments in any such group then groups will be merged. The steps that are taken to merge groups are:
- All groups with less than 3 assessors are added to the group other. If other does not exist it is created.
-
If the other group does not have three completed assessments, the smallest group with three or more assessors is added to the other group. If two groups tie for minimum number of assessors then the first one in the following order is used:
- Colleague
- Direct report
- Customer.
- If there are still less than three completed assessments other than self and manager then only the self and manager results are used in the results. The other assessments will not be counted. Note that this will not occur if at least three assessments are required in condition 3 above.
After combining groups and scoring the questionnaire the individual responses are deleted. This further protects the anonymity of assessors in countries where computer information held on an individual may be liable to be revealed to that person on request. The deletion also significantly reduces the data storage requirements of multi-rater feedback.
