Employee performance management (EPM) systems and various project and resource planning systems can be generators of individual objective plans. These plans and results against them are sometimes integrated with other systems. An example of such integration might be an EPM system integration with a compensation system. The scope of such integration could include the communication of the objective plan, interim results against the plan, as well as final results that would be used to calculate related compensation.
HR-XML's ObjectivesPlan noun and ObjectivesResult noun are intended to be used for the exchange of EPM objectives information.
Examples of events that could trigger the collaboration, include:
Project Completion. Project completion might trigger a wide variety of tasks, such as updating objective plans, reporting results against an objective plan, performance review, calculation of any associated compensation, termination of the completed assignment, and reassignment.
Performance Appraisal Complete. The completion of an appraisal process can be a trigger for communicating the appraisal results to other systems (e.g., a core HR system, learning management system, compensation, etc.) and for compensation changes. New development plans or objective plans may be communicated to applicable systems. Supervisory approval often marks the completion of an appraisal or performance evaluation.
Project Milestones. Project completion or the end of an appraisal period can trigger the report of a final result for the associated project or time period. Similarly, the achievement of project milestones (or failure to achieve project milestones) might trigger reporting of an interim result or status against an objective plan.
